hey , i have a p3100 rooted with CWM 5.5.0.4 and running CM9 RC2 and i just tried doing a full backup and it comes up with, "error while making backup of /data/
does that mean its not backing up app data or system data or both?, and how bad can this be, can i still recover from a backup thats failed the data backup?
thanks in advanced
It could be due to lack of space.
As i know cwm version 5 backup all the data in internal sd card to external sd card so if you put a lot of data as apps and pics and videos in internal sd card and had small size or low space in external sd card or near filled external sd card this error could occur as not enough space for data of internal sd card to be backup in external sd card
Solutions :
1-move as much data as pics and videos etc from internal sd card to computer for example before backup
3-free as much space from external sd card to have a free space that can accomodate the backup
3-or buy a new big size external sd card and leave space enough in it for backup

I did all the steps to move apps, cache, data to my sd card for the G1 phone and everything is working good but I want to backup everything on a bigger sd card and I also noticed that even if I use a new partitioned fat32 and ext2 sd card it wont boot, can any one tell me how to backup all my sd card please thank you
Hi,
When I upgraded to a bigger card, I did this:
1-copy current sdcard to computer.
2-backup your apps with astro
3-delete all caches on phone.
4-move apps and caches back to phone.
5-format new sdcard with a ext2 partition.
6-copy sdcard data from computer to new sdcard.
7-transfer apps and caches back to sdcard.
8-reinstall all apps with astro.
You should be good to go.

Hello,
is there any disadvantage if you make a backup with CWM on external than on internal SD card ?
Any risk ?
Is it possible to move external SD card to another phone (same type) and then restore it ?

I don't see a difference between internal and external backups. My current phone doesn't have an SD card, so all of my backups go to the internal, and it is just the same as my previous phone that had an SD card.
To answer your second question...yes. You can transfer the SD to another phone of the same type and restore a backup.
I have been trying different roms and loading apps at the same time. Half the apps have disappeared even after restoring them with Titanium but the URGENT question is how to clean up my memory? (BTW) Whats the difference between sd card and ext sd card?
Thanks for the help.

Obviously SD card refers to the internal memory and ext(ernal) SD card is basically the Micro SD card storage it is the smartphone version of internal and external hard drive. You will have to delete the backup apps to free up memory located in the Titanium Backup folder. all in all it is the same as what you would do on your laptop or desktop.
My phone is always out of storage space, and whenever I try to migrate my data to my sd card, my internal storage becomes even fuller. I installed a custom rom today, and formatted the sd card as internal storage again and copied some music to it, but it went to the internal storage instead. Help
What are the exact specs of the SD card?
zenfone7 it is theoretically impossible to mix the SD card with the internal storage or install the software to the SD card, I have brushed the phone on OmniRom and rooted, I would like to ask you guys if there is a way to mix the SD card with the internal storage or install the software to the SD card?
Welcome to XDA.
You never should mix internal storage with the SD card even if possible.
The SD card is the data drive; all critical data goes here including data needed to do a full reload.
Internal storage: Only the apps, DCIM and download folders go here. The data drive can be used to backup the DCIM folder but that folder's name can't have dcim in it!
Backup the data drive regularly and redundantly.
Congratulations, you now have a dual drive device
