What is the process? Factory wipe then restore? Or wipe then format data? Can I format everything then restore? I am coming from BoneStock ROM and restoring to JellyBean v19.
You don't have to do anything. I always do a factory reset then restore my nandroid. The restore will wipe System as its first step anyway so doing anything more is optional not required.

So I'm running PnP and wanna run cyanogenmod 6 that got ported. If i make a backup and decide i don't like cyanogen (which i doubt) then i can just do a restore and everything will be there? In the thread about cyanogen it says wipe data.. so i just wanna make sure that i can get everthing back if i dont like it. And is there a way to just wipe data other than wipe data/ factory reset?
Yes, everything will still be there when you restore a backup. Just make sure to reflash whatever kernel you had been using on PnP if you restore your backup.
No, wipe data and factory reset from recovery are one in the same and can't be done separately.
So reflash the kernel before I do the restore?

Technically you don't have to wipe because the nand restore process actually does a full wipe for you... but me personally, I always wipe at least cache and dalvik before restoring a nand, just to make sure there's nothing left over from the previous ROM.
When a restoring a Nand backup through CWM, does it actually wipe data,cache,boot etc..
Or do we have to manually wipe everything.
I noticed that when restoring it said erasing boot and stuff.
Asking because i always run into trouble when restoring a backup, Would be helpfull if someone can share the proper way of restoring a backup.

By default restoring a backup through cwm recovery does not wipe everything. If you choose to restore through Rom Managaer you will be given the option to wipe data, cache etc. I would recommended doing wipes manually, just to avoid any issues that may occur from not doing it before a nand restore

Wiping data/cache is enough or should we format boot/system etc?
It'd be better to do a manual wipe before restoring (system, data, cache, dalvik).
Hi, i read that when you flash an ics rom, there are problems going back to a gingerbread one...Is it possible to try ics, and then restore a backup? which version of clockwork is needed? is another recovery needed? thanks in advance!
I installed ICS and then restored my Gingerbread backup with no problems using CWM.
So I can just flash for example the newest NexusBeam (4.1.0) with CWM and Im still able restore my old CM7 Backup?
All this threads about bricks with bootloader etc. made me unsure :S

Yes. Im always doing this step before recovering backups
1 wipe data factory reset
2 wipe cache partition
3 wipe dalvik cache
4 restore backup
5 fix permissions
100% recovered.
Nexus S + CM9 kangs = Awesomeness

Thanks. Then there is nothing holding me back to flash it
is there any need to do any wiping if restoring a nandroid backup? would there be any benefit?
thanks

Nah, not that I know of. I do a factory reset and system wipe just out of habit. I'm fairly certain restoring a nandroid wipes the system partition in the initial steps.
