Backup Options?

I'm looking for opinions on backup type of apps, like TiBu, Swift Backup, and others, for help switching between ROMs.

I own the TiBu Pro key, and have yet to try it on my Essential, but was curious what other options are out an available for rooted users to backup and restore their apps? Can you share your experiences?

Nothing beats Titanium Backup.

I never relay on Android stock backup as it doesn't backup most of the apps data.

Same, although I do rely on Android stock for wifi passwords etc. (It works most of the time)

Just came across this new app, wonder how it compares https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balti.migrate

Edit: lol didn't realize this was posted already....

TiBu all the way. But this just popped up in XDA article recently. I haven't checked it out yet though. https://www.xda-developers.com/migrate-app-switch-custom-roms/

I tried it and sadly It didn't get past the "Calculating size".

I've been a Titanium Backup user for several years, but after trying Swift Backup for the first time this week I can definitely say it works much better.

I downloaded Swift but haven't tried it yet, not sure if I should drop 8 bucks on Pro when I already have TiBu Pro, but damn Swift looks nice. Tough decisions ahead. 😉

Give them both a shot before you purchase the pro. I like the UI of Swift a lot more though.
