Default Backup clients.
I know when you root the N1 it wipes the phone. My question is can I use any of the various backup programs to back all my apps up and re-install when I root? If so, which is recommended?

My applications were partially restored after rooting. Not sure how, though.
Mybackup Pro will do what you ask.

Seems like it restores apps you install from the market.
Any app not installed from the market has too be be manually re-installed.

ROM: PURITY JDQ39                         ROM: PURITY JDQ39
Kernel: AK Kernel Diamond ed.             Kernel: M-Kernel
Baseband: I925OUGLH1                      Bootloader: v4.18
Recovery: TWRP v2.4.3.0                   Recovery: TWRP v2.4.3.0

It appears, from what some others have suggested, that it reinstalls apps you have installed from the Market if you have Google backup your settings. And yes, MyBackup Pro is a nice app. A bit pricey but it's extremely useful, especially if you are always wiping (a 30 day free trial is available if you only need it once). My Backup for Root Users is free but it can be buggy at times and obviously cannot be used until after you've rooted.

I have had no problems with My Backup Pro. I especially like the online backup just in case your SD card becomes corrupt and wipes everything.

Astro file manager has an application backup tool, and it will save the apps to the SD card.

Astro is a very cool file manager and completely free.

I've been using Mybackup Pro for a while now, as I am always swapping between phones, and wiping them etc. so I figured I would pay for the pro version.
If however it is just to wipe the phone once, I would recommend the trial version. It can be installed to back things up, then you can install it again after the wipe and restore everything to the way it was.
Hope that helps any.
