[Q] Application for full backup

---

Now that I have everything working on my rooted Nook, I would like to backup everything that I have on my unit so I can restore it in case I run into any problems. Can anyone suggest a good app for that?

Titanium Backup

Make sure that when you restore your apps, that you don't also restore app data. It'll mess with the Barnes and Noble authentication and reset your rooted device.

I'm glad someone asked this. I did just this yesterday and ka-blam, authentication error. When doing a backup with TB (that just sounds wrong BTW), should we only do user apps/data and not system apps/data? The first go around, I did the latter and hit the authentication error. After re-rooting, which was challenging as it was sort of caught halfway, I only restored user apps/data. So far no issues.

Thoughts?

I would only restore your user apps, no data. That has worked well for me.

I personally wouldn't think restoring apps + data would be a problem (he said it's fine so far) . . . Restoring all your system data is usually what causes problems, if anything.

I have gone through and restored app data on individual apps where it matters most like in games especially and I have had no problems.

Same here, I have been using Titanium Backup since the Nook was rooted. I have only had my Nook show the not authorized message and reformat once. So I am not sure it is Titanium Backup

I don't think it is an issue with TB, something in restored system data seems to freak B&N out. Maybe there is something time based in there and it pukes on the mismatch. My NC has been happy since yesterday with restoring user apps and data.

Has anyone had problem with the Pro version downgrading to the Free version after freezing apps and then rebooting? I've tried twice now (froze apps then rebooted) and both times I run Titanium Backup again it's reverted to the Free version. I have to go back to the market, uninstall, then reinstall.
