Help Restoring/backing up apps via USB?

[snapcase]

So since the Galaxy Nexus stupidly doesn't have removable storage, we have to use MTP or PTP to transfer files. That's leaving me unable to restore some old apps I had on my old phone.

Namely, Note Everything's folder doesn't show up on my PC with my Galaxy Nexus hooked up. I copied the files from my Droid to my PC then plugged in the GN and there's no folder there. In fact almost no folders show up. However using Estrongs I see the Note Everything folder right there on the GN.

So what gives? Am I totally screwed for restoring old programs and backing up new ones? Or is there some workaround out there? Wish I'd realized this before I bought, it could be a deal breaker to not be able to backup all my data.

I finally read about Airdroid and it got the trick done. Kinda a pain compared to just plugging it in then drag and drop.... but it worked. Got all my notes on the nexus. Also my old, unupdated version of Beautiful Widgets and a few other apps that can't be gotten on the nexus anymore.

I'm disappointed the original Dolphin has issues though. Never did like the HD version of that browser.
