Titanium backup doesn't seem to work on this tab (or maybe on 4.3 yet) They updated it but that didn't do it. Anyways now that roms are rolling out I would like to be able to flash without losing stuff :) Any suggestions of an alternative app for now?

Titanium backup works perfect for me on 4.3 stock and cm10.2

Did you have to do anything special to get it to work?

I was able to restore fine, but when I go to backup everything and then try to copy that fold to my computer it does not work. I can copy anything and everything else off of to tab to my computer but not the Titanium Backup folder..

Working cine for me as well, restore and backing up. Didn't do anything special. Are you moving the files while the device is locked or awake?

Yeah I had to do that to restore, but for some reason to pull the folder off I had to resort to zipping it up with astro and then copying it to my computer. Got it working more though thanks.

I also had problems with Titanium Backup but it turned out to be problems with permissions even though I gave it full permission. When I loaded up the SuperSU, it said it needed a binary update, and after I did that the problem disappeared. See if you also need an update (it required a reboot).

Anyone have trouble uploading to Google Drive? I always get a network error. It worked fine downloading the backup I had but it won't upload. Tried removing Drive and readding but it didn't work.

I have the same trouble. Can't upload to Google. Logged into Google and watched it create a directory and then fail.
Happens every time...

The easiest way to do this is by closing TB and then go in your file explorer (i use ES file explorer) and rename TB folder. I usually add an S in the end and when i copy them back, i remove the S. The reason is that TB backup files are being used by app in tablet rather than USB storage. Thus they can not be read.

Also you can freeze TB from Settings.

Then connect your tab via usb and copy it.

I hope that is easier !
