Has anyone successfully tried backing up their device and restoring with CWM on the tab 2 7?
When I backup I get an error in the data partition. I haven't tried restoring because I can't get an error free backup.

Yes
I've used CWM to backup/restore my P3113.
Make sure you've got an external SD card in the slot, and that the SD card is large enough (anything over 1Gb is fine).
Yes it worked fine for me. Also worked fine using twrp recovery.
I used cwm to restore after a bad flash, no problem, an external .sd card is a must because when you b/u it is stored on the external sd card.

I have successfully backed up and restored stock rom and custom rom with CWM and TWRP

Maybe it's my sdcard....I only had 2 gb left. I'll try again with an empty card.

That could very well be it. My backups clocked in around 2gb (and I was doing this on a stock tablet without anything installed).
Did you resolve this one? I have the exact same issue, data partition error when backing up, and I have tried on as large as a 16 gb card. I don't know what to do.
Have you gone to the advanced item and read the error log? On mine it was that I had so many videos on the internal storage and the tar file was to big. What does the log day?

Hey there
Would like to create a backup of my rom. but i don't have a sdcard. In CWM is an option to backup to my internal storage and that's what i also did. Sadly it backed up totally everything. It also backed up my music and even the stock nandroid. after a couple minutes CWM gave me an error because i run out of free storage.
Does anybody has a solution for my problem? Is there a way to backup only certain stuff? Obviously i don't want to backup my old backup. And i also don't care about my music.

My nandroid backup is only 18 mb, no particular option selected, and it's stored in the internal sd.

Only 18 MB? that seems very small to me. Only the room got around 150 MB :/
The backup of my stock rom is around 2.2 Gb

Well, I was wrong
In the clockwork folder there are two folders: one is named backup, and every backup is about 18 mb. The other folder is named blobs and it's 3,36 gb

Hmm how many times have you done a backup? If I'm right and CWM always backups your data (like music, old bakups,...) Your next backup gets huge.

I don't know exactly, I always thought that Cwm backups only the system and not the data stored in the internal sd.
I think I'm going to delete the whole folder and backup the system from scratch.

Until now i thought the same. I also had a galaxy nexus without an SD card but i never had any problems. But i think it had two partitions.
On my DHD i don't have any music or backups on my internal storage. That might be the reason why it works properly.
Could you let me know when you did another backup? I'm wondering if you got the same problems. Or if anyone else got the problem.

After I make a nandroid backup my phone starts lagging really bad. Using Ti backup pro and putting them on my ext SD card. After a few minutes is says SD card must be formated. Its fine until I put a backup on it.

Move your back up to your drop box or something similar, then remove it from your phone, or try a twrp back up instead.

Nandroid backups, backs up everything! The space needed depends on the Amount of apps installed!
There is no difference between twrp and cwm. Twrp is touch based and cwm has both touch and non touch based uis. What you want to use is completely up to you!
In my experience both recoveries backs up the kernel too!

So this means i will require a 16gb memory card to create current system back up if i have 11gb of space occupied???
And what would be expected size if i backup after clearing data/formatting???
I think a 8gb card will be enough!
11gb is occupied, but how much is occupied by the apps alone that you've installed? Because that's what will be backed up! Other data that you've in your internal memory will not be backed up!

Trying to do a back up on my p3110 8gb, and don't really have enough space to do it,
For some reason it is also saving it before the SD card folder in data/media/something/backup/date
When I try to move it it tells me cannot move files after it attempts and moves a few I'm guessing this is due to file size and running out of space....
Is there a way to get cwm to save the backup to external SD, or at least to SD card directory instead of root? So I can copy the files onto my computer?
Or do I need to go on a deleting spree and potentially lose some gaming data....

Yeah, just pick backup to external. Its like the forth or fifth option down in cwms backup and restore menu

Hello! I need help!
I flashed a rom yesterday and I backed up my rom before flashing. Today I was trying to restore my backup and the system did not find it. I can see it using Astro file manager under clockworkmod and backups. But on recovery it won't show. And the recovery shows three backups that I don't remember doing but two out of the three are not accesible. Please, if you can tell me how to make clockworkmod see my backup. I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
Did you backup to the internal drive or external sd card. Try going to your backup and restore then click the restore from external sd card to see if it is possibly there.

I don't have an SD card. It was saved on my internal drive. I tried to but it says I can't because there is no Sd card.
Did you format your internal drive before you tried restoring the backup. Usually my cwm just populates the ones I have done or if I want to pull one of the ones on my sd card I can. I will try moving my backup and see if I can replicate the problem.

no I didn't I'll try to move it to an sd card and see what happens
I moved my backup to another folder and cwm did not find it. I'm not sure if you possibly moved it from the clockwork folder or not. I hope you figure it out.

If you are still having problems try going into rom manager app. Should have a manage and restore option. From there it should have a list of your backups and will let you restore from one of those.

Another thing to try is to make sure your recovery is current and up to date. That same thing happened to me (with TWRP) and it turned out it was due to me flashing a 4.2 rom (which changes the file structure of your sd) and having an older recovery that didn't support it.
