I have used TB since jumping to Android and never had any problems with it, but you do have to be careful. Anytime you are going from one rom to the next you can run into problems with restoring the sys data stuff that is highlighted in green. Different bases and various things from rom to rom may be slightly different in the way they store sys data so when you run the backup on one rom and then try to restore that same data on a different rom to the same place it was on the previous rom... bork! Just as you saw when your images were showing up and obviously on your sd card but were no longer "accessable" once you restored the old sys data from the previous rom.
I've never had any problem restoring any programs and had to kinda learn by trial and error what sys data you can restore from one rom to the next. Here's what I can tell you...
Accounts - never resotred it from rom to rom
Application Widgets - never restored
Bluetooth pairings - never used as I don't have a bluetooth, but would venture to guess so long as you are going from one sense rom to the next you might be pretty safe in restoring this
Calendar Storage - never used, just let google handle this one
[Alarms] Clock - use this one every time, restores the times I had set in my three alarms and what days of the week but for some reason doesn't re-set the ring tone so I have to go back in and do that part manually after a restore and re-boot (saves a little time at least)
[User Dict] ... I skip this one and restore the HTC one ...[User Dict HTC] Touch Input
[Voicemail] Dialer - seems to always work (omj rom to omj rom)
[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage - seems to always work (omj rom to omj rom)
[Desktop] HTC Sense - always works (omj to omj rom)
[Bookmarks] Internet - seems to always work
[E-mail Account...] Mail - I let google handle this as it is the only account I set up on my phone (my guess would be so long as it's sense to sense rom and if you have other pop3 or imap accounts set up it would probably work fine)
[Playlists] - don't have any set up and have not used
[SMS/MMS Prefs] - not absolutely sure if it catches all the settings but I run it everytime and it seems to work perfeclty... I use handcent and there are a few settings you need to tweak in the stock messaging to play nice with handcent and once I restore this and restore handcent I never have to go back and re-tweak anything
[Wallpaper/set...gs] Settings - never use it?? ... and would be leary to (IMO)
[Settings/Bluet...tings Storeage - never use it and would be leary to (IMO)
[User Dict HTC] Touch Input - like i said earlier, works every time for me
Wi-Fi Acess Points - works everytime for me which is awesome b/c I travel a lot and would hate to set each of these up again everytime
Hope that helps!

I just gave you about 5 thanks for that post. I've wondered this since I started using titanium backup. you post brought me to make this topic about what all those things really do. maybe you could check it out and throw your 2 cents in. of course, more than 2 cents is also appreciated
