Does Titanium backup work with non-rooted phones?
I looked into the adb backup but all the pages I could find had a caveat like "this isn't a full backup, some things will be missed" but nothing listed definitively what would and wouldn't be captured. Any ideas on this?

With fewer features, I'd imagine - It would probably still be able to backup all user installed, privileged apps & account data - I use it mostly for the ease of backing up and restoring account data (and the ability to filter and perform bulk operations on all apps).
I don't really use adb backup though - I have a script that uses adb to pull all apps from the phone, and copy across storage.
My backup restore process is a bit of a cludge, but it works well enough.
- copy everything on internal / external storage
- backup & export account data with titanium backup
- adb pull out every priv & user app
Restoring is more involved & cludgy, as I need to remove any apps that are in the factory image that I don't want, which means referencing against the apps that i backed up and running a script to remove them. Then reversing through steps 3, 2 and 1.
It's a mess.
And there are probably wfar easier ways to do this

Titanium backup is quite good.
Alternatively, you can script a backup and restore using adb.
