You can't do a Nandroid backup of your SD card. A Nandroid backup is only for backing up the image on your phone.
Simply plug your phone into the PC, select Disk Drive and backup all your SD card data to your PC. Once complete right click the SD Card Drive, click Format. Copy data back to SD card.
EDIT: Sorry - misread the question. Same procedure really - just copy the Nandroid backup onto your PC and then copy it back afterwards. Usually the Nandroid backup and be found in the clockworkmod folder on the sdcard. The folder containing the nandroid backup is usually time stamped.
Does it mean i also have to reflash the radio?
Formatting (or replacing) the SD card will not require you to reflash any part of the phone. The ROM and the Radio are kept on the internal phone memory and never on the SD card.
Simply do as dr9722 has stated - take a copy of the nandroid backup onto your PC, then format the SD card and copy the backup back from the PC afterward and you'll be fine.

I've been transferring my backups to the computer since my g1 days and I have never had one corrupt I'm not sure how to make sure it doesn't but u could check the md5 before and after u move them
Hi there!
I've read a lot about performing a nandroid backup, but how I can I do it? There are several options in CWM, which one is the correct one?
Also, I believe a nandroid backup is a full backup to restore the tab to a previous condition and includes everything: so, after a full wipe (delelte EVERYTHING) I can restore a nandroid backup and all of my files, apps and its data are there, correct?
Last but not least: is it stored directly in the uSD card or in the TF's internal memory?
Thank you!
To do a nandroid:
Go to CWM > Backup and Restore > Backup
You can restore all your saved data from a previous nandroid backup.

Depends on the CWM version you're using.
The older version save only to external micro sd card but the latest version from Team Rouge save to internal and/or external sd card.
My version only saves to micro SD, was panicking when my backups weren't there after taking out my SD card.

make sure to format your new card while its in your phone, or format it in your computer but make sure its formatted to FAT32. you can just copy the files from your old card to a random folder on your PC, then transfer them back to the new card

Just copy the files rom the card to the computer and then format the new card to FAT32 and copy them back. That's all I've done in the past and it's been fine.

I have a new SD Card and I think this is the reason for my lost backup files in TWRP. How can I check this or can I check the sd card?
If it's a new SD card how are there backup files on it period, did you transfer the twrp folder to the new SD card?
