[Verizon] A quick question about backups..

[noahdr]

I have recently rooted and upgraded to Jelly Bean (awesome BTW) but I was curious why everyone recommends Titanium Backup when rooted. Why can't I just get my phone where I like, with apps installed, and just make a CWM image?

I just don't see the need for Titanium Backup when I can make a system copy with CWM....??

Thanks for helping...

TI Backup can restore into another rom. CWM your stuck with the same rom and everything. There may be more options I havent used but thats all ive bothered with.

I gotcha now..that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

TiBu backups are mainly used to backup user apps AND APP DATA

example:
you're 75% done with Angry Birds
You do a TiBu backup of Angry Birds
You flash a new rom and restore the Angry Bird backup using TiBu, it also restores your App data so you don't have to start over in the game.
