of all the apps that i use on my android phones the most (CoPilot aside) is Titanium Backup Full/Pro/Donate whatever you want to call it.

Just make sure you unlock it to get the DropBox feature.

in the Nexus S with the lack of the extra external storage, it's almost a must have to be able to back/restore all your apps & settings online, and on the go, so that if crap happens, you can easily just restore them all back.

it also facilitates a lot when we are constantly trying out new ROMs ;)

with the 1 click restore feature

Just google it: "Nandroid vs MyBackup Pro vs Titanium Backup." You'll gain all the information you need. It's been talked a lot.

Nandroid = Every nook and cranny.
Titanium Backup = Basically everything app related and system settings. Doesn't touch the OS itself. Pro version has that auto install feature when you restore apps.
MyBackup Pro = Dunno if it changed much, but it backs up everything app related. No system settings. Also backs up app data if you have root. Restore app one by one.

I might have forgotten something because the last time I used MyBackup was about year or two ago.

Actually, MyBackup Pro does back up system settings. Also backs up SMS and MMS and photos. Also batch restores the apps.

What I did not have a good experience is backing up contacts as it conflicts with google's contact sync and I ended up with double contacts..this was almost a year ago though..

Another recommendation here though only for the pro version. The regular version is just a pain to back up and restore all your apps.
it's true about the pain to restore

but the FREE version you still have the 1 button backup everything option
