1. If I backup the existing Rom from Rom manager or titanium backup, is it the same thing?

2. If I backup once is it needed to back up every time I change room, or I can use only one backup?

Thanks

They're different. ROM Manager is the Recovery Backup i.e. of your entire internal memory whereas Titanium just does a back up of apps.

Backup your ROM with ROM Manager each time you flash something and when you change ROM use Titanium and ROM Manager.

I use 4 ext recovery to back up it'soooo easy and it works wonderfully! I got in a pinch the other day and it was sooo easy to restore my old rom from 4ext back up! I just go into recovery manage backups and from there you can create a new back up or restore. If your restoring make sure to do full wipe ok. But you might try 4ext. I really love it ! It's so easy to use! Easy is good! You might want to give it a try . I use 4ext touch. Is absolutely wonderful!

Yes 4EXT is a very nice recovery, but when restoring from a NANDroid backup there is really no need to do any wipes. If you watch as $EXT or any other recovery restores from a backup, it does a wipe of each partion before it restores that partion and it also wipes the both delvick cache and cache before restoring them.
