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.

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.
basicaly i have only 2 questions.
1, when creating whole ROM backup of my system do i need to create full copy of my SD card?(as i understand it ClockworkMod does not backup SD card) in case that after full WIPE and ROM reinstall i would like to go back to old ROM i would need it. i have a lot of apps stored on SD card.
2, when creating apps backup with titanium backup, i dont need to store any SD card data, because this is stored by titanium backup and after WIPE apps will be installed back to SD card(in new ROM)?
As long as you dont format your SD card, doing a full wipe before installing a new ROM will not affect it.
Hi
I usually using different Roms and should do full wipe and lose my data !
Is there any app to make back up to external storage ???
Thanks
Not 100% sure but i think My Backup Pro have options to backup to external sd card. With titanium backup just copy the folder from internal to external sd card
Thanks . Titanium backup works

You can change backup folder location to external card before making a backup in Titanium. Menu>Preferences>backup folder location
So I'm planning on ditching honeycomb and switching to an Ics rom... I backed up all my apps using TitaniumBackup but the rom requires a full wipe and cache wipes, question is, would performing the required wipes before flashing the rom also wipe the backups TitaniumBackup made on the internal storage?
No. All that is stored on a different partition...so you're safe. Just don't use the SuperWipeFULL version zip. THAT...will wipe all downloaded stuff on the internal SD storage.
Infact...to make it easy for you...just download and use the SuperWipe Lite script from the Revolution HD thread. That's what I do...when I need to wipe.
Also you could move the backup folder location to the micro sd card.
Just go into "preferences" and change it to micro sd card

Don't forget to change it back after you wipe and reinstall titanium, or it will just look like you lost all your backups since it defaults to internal storage.
After reinstalling TB, you can have it do a quick scan to pick up any folder that tb uses.
Also remember that TB stores its own settings on removable card if available on /Removable/MicroSD/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
So Synergy has been the first rom that I installed on my phone. Now, if i make backups on ROM Manager, and decide to flash to a different rom, say cyanogen for example. If I wipe all of my data, which I would assume is my best choice of action when flashing to a new rom, will these backups that I've made on the SD card be saved or will they disappear with the rest of my data? Should I buy a micro SD to store all of those on or can i even do backups to the external sd card?.
Also, when making Titanium backups, are those something I want to store on an external SD? Or can i restore from places like dropbox? I appreciate any input.
I flash roms three times, and wipe user data every time.
The data on internal sd card is safe.
But I think backup to external sd card is much safer,so I get one(32G) :laugh:
And yes ,Titanium and clockworkmod can backup to external sd card,change the Titanium backup store path and look for cwm menu!
