Sorry if this isn't allowed or should be in the phone section.

Friend has a galaxy S3, she wants too root for the sole purpose of using titanium backup to make a complete back up of her phone.

Question being since she wont be running a custom rom etc what happens when there's an OTA update available?

Does it undo the root? And you just root again? Does it mess the phone up? Or does it just update and the root stays in tact?

Thanks.
