    Design and Interface: It has a poor interface. It doesn’t make application worst. After some hands on you will be able to understand each and every feature of app. Most of the features are in Batch Option. It makes interface of batch options somehow crowded. The only drawback that we can see is in interface. Sometimes, you need to do lot of handwork to understand application. As you use Titanium Backup Application more you understand it more and more. There is no reason to avoid use of application only because of interface.

     I think Titanium Backup is a perfect backup solution that will appeal to many Android Developers largely.
