Yes. Nandroid restores everything as it was previously. So it will rewrite ext3 or ext4.

Will a Clockwork Recovery backup do the same - restore the EXT3 file system?
I thought that was how you do the nandroid?

The nandroid backups that everyone talks about are created using Clockwork Recovery. It uses the NAND backup and restore method, so in essence CWR does a "NANDroid" backup.

hmmm, i think it does automagically. I have restored my apps 2-3 times and I did not have to do anything special.

Rather than making a new thread I'll post in here.
I was flashing some roms and backed up my apps at the wrong time in turn losing a lot of saved points in games and app settings. Can I just go back into one of my recent nandroid backups and copy the titanium backup files somewhere to replace the ones I don't want in my current rom? If so which ones?
The files your after are in the Titanium backup folder.

Lol this is obvious but which files do I need? There are several options in the nandroid folder like system, recovery, cache etc but their all img files? Again, I only have the files in my nandroid backup. My Titanium is setup to replace old files when a new backup is performed..
Thanks for any help in advance..

TB saves its stuff on the SD card, which is untouched by the usual Data/Cache/Dalvik wipes for a new ROM. Your most recent backups should be present no matter what.

OK lemme give some more info to help. I just got finished flashing my GB rom to replace my FR with all my settings widgets etc.. Once I had all the apps re-downloaded and thought I was ready to use titanium backup to restore all of my app data I accidentally did a backup instead, in turn REPLACING all of my original settings, saved games etc with just new games and all default bs..
So now, my ONLY option is to restore a backup I had previously when all my settings and games were where I liked them and then do another titanium backup to replace the new stuff. THEN, I have to restore my current GB nandroid to get back to my current ROM and then use titanium to restore my old stuff. The issue is finding which part of the titanium file I need from my Froyo backup to replace my GB backup.. Does that make sense lol?
I think I may figure it out but its trial and error.. I'll report back when and if I get it, just kinda sucks trying to do all this with root explorer and flashing everything over and over while at work..
If I'm doing this wrong please tell me but I am not seeing the easy way out in all of this..
You've got it right, do it just like that. Backing up / restoring Nandroids doesn't affect the SD card, but if you're paranoid you can unmount it. Restore nandroid, backup with TB, restore other nandroid, restore TB.

I used titanium backup and after i flashed and installed it again, my apps weren't on it. Anyone know why? (wipe cache, dalvik, and data)
Check your backup folder location in TI Preferences.

Yeah this has happened to me a few times once you go to that folder there is an option to search for backups on the device.
On a side note before I back up with titanium backup I go to this option and pick the location I want to backup to and restore from making sure its on the external sd card..

You back-ups are being stored on the phones internal storage card [5GB] not the external storage [actual card - 32 gb in my case]. Just change the back-up location.

if anything goes wrong ,,,so my any previous made backup wont work.>???
No option other than to delete the old ones!
I recently flashed Proton's ICS kernel because I wanted to watch videos, and it came with TWRP instead of CWM. How do I make a nandroid backup with TWRP?
And is there anyway I can switch to CWM from TWRP?
And another question, How do I view the system files?
Just go to backup on the main screen but that TWRP backup only really works if you are using TWRP to restore that backup. If you want CWM thrn easiest way is to vhnge the kernel to something else

What do I check though? There are six options.
System
Data
Boot
Recovery
Cache
.android_secure
I checked everything especially system and data...doesnt really hurt anything it just makes the backup a larger file since more data is being backedup
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
it depends...
when you do a backup in recovery mode....
"sometimes" it means that you are not sure about you are flashing right now...
so when you do a restore.... it will back to ur "previews rom" and apps etc...
BUT! BUT! when you are sure to ur chosen rom..
Do a titanium backup... before flashing you ROMS.
this backup can restore your apps ( just install the apps and restore )
like action games.. your save gameplays your high scores etc...
Suggest that you do it BOTH.
Is it possible to backup my HTC sensation phone to the current state and then restore it later just like how we create backup image of windows operating system and restore?

Yes back up via recovery you can back up boot,data,system,cashe ,or if you are using 4ext recovery you can do advanced backup

You can also use Titanium Backup to backup applications and their data, it might be helpful if you want to switch between Sense/AOSP/MIUI ROMs or different versions of AOSP. But if you want to make an exact snapshot of system with all user data/cache/everything else - nandroid backup via recovery is the best

Titanium backup will only store apps and data. A full nandroid backup will back up every thing on your internal storage, so that everything can be restored without a hitch (apps, data, sms, settings everything). A nand restore will feel as if a change never occured (apps on your SD card will be revived as long as they exist on SD card).
I just tried Nandroid backup via clockworkmod recovery and it is exactly what I was looking for. It worked like a charm. :thumbup:
