Witch is a better way to made a backup, Titanium or the backup/restore in the custom recovery.
Also when making a back up in custom recovery what does backing up the system mean and what does backing up th data mean. Is data apps and system like app settings?
 
Recovery makes backup of all data (including settings) and it's possible to restore the partitions later (eg. get the same state like in backup time). System backup means (most probably) backup of /system folder, which hold all preinstalled applications and some linux stuff, like libraries. Data is backup of /data folder, which holds user installed applications and all application settings.
Titanium does the same, but later it's possible to restore just some parts (one or more application, settings, SMS).

I like Titanium backup but lately its hasnt been working correctly, i have the pro key downloaded and it says "Failed key to check with google" "reboot/ See checkout.google.com" and then when i try to backup my apps it will go through about 5-9 apps and then just freeze and not go past that app
 
i have this app downloaded called Applanet and it makes to so i can download paid apps for free.

But anyways when i restore my apps through Tit bu the app dont go to the android market "downloads" section they go to the Applanet "download" section, why dont the apps go to the normal market, the reason i care is because the normal market notifies you when a app needs updated and Applanet wont do that
