If I choose the option in titanium backup to backup USER APPS only, will it back up data or only the apps? I have always backed up USER APPS AND SYSTEM DATA out of fear of losing app data, but its a pain when restoring apps after wiping bc I have to selectively choose just my apps to restore. Thanks.
I do not think it will back up the data in the apps if you select that option. You can select certain apps to save their data if you need. Also check to see if the data is saved on your SD card because more and more apps are choosing to do that, which makes it tons easier.
Backup user Apps DOES backup data associated with those apps. Thats what I did when I was flashing my ROM. I only chose to backup user Apps and when you do restore you have an option to restore just an app or both app and data
