You only NEED the first 3 items [system, data, boot] to getting a booting recovery. If you backup your apps using titanium backup, no need to backup android secure [all your apps]. Also, extract the wimax.img from one of your previous backups and copy it to your pc for save keeping, for whatever random reason you were to lose your wimax keys, you can restore them later.
Hi,
I backed up everything in my phone using Xperia's (ICS only) "Backup & Restore" app. I zipped the backup files and uploaded them to dropbox. I then did a factory reset, and redownloaded the uploaded file, unzipped it, and placed it in the .semc-fullbackup directory, but the app cannot find it, instead deleting the directory with my backup.
How can I restore this backup? It seems like a pointless backup app if it can't take a backup from somewhere else. Is there some way to fool the app into taking my backup?
Thanks!
Wish if I could help
But I use titanium back up

Wrong forum
Apparently TWRP saves its backups in a different format. it's a collection of files instead of one. I don't know how to extract data from these backups using TBP. Can someone link me to a guide or give advice? Thanks friends.
Go into the menu with titanium backup and will be able to extract app data (special backup / restore). Don't think you have an option for any files but it's easier then restoring a nandroid.

I've looked around for at least 3hrs for that without getting answers so please if this has been discussed thoroughly in another thread point me to it.
I have made several nandroid backups using cwm and so far I had no problems backing up and restoring. Now I need a specific file from a backup I have on my pc. I have the complete sdcard on the pc with the /clockworkmod/backup and /blobs folders and the other files. On the new version of my phone the backups are on /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/
I tried to to copy the backup folder (2013-01-...) From my pc to the new back up location and restoring. Obviously that didnt work that's when I realized they were .dup files. So I tried to paste the blobs folder as well and restore but same thing ... Error while restoring.
Now since the backup was done using a different path than this one would that cause the problem? Is there a specific procedure to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Are there other files other than the backup and blobs folders implicated in this type of backup?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Yesterday I made a new nandroid backup and uploaded it using clockworkmod, which created an zip file, my problem is, how upload it to android to restore again using clockworkmod?
Thanks in advanced
There should be an option to restore and let you choose the backup under "Backup and Restore" in recovery.

You made a nandroid while in custom recovery right ? The confusing part is you say then you uploaded it . If its on your phone then it should be in your clockworkmod backup directory .

The problem was, I made an nandroid backup and uploaded it to my computer, and to save space deleted from my GNex. I installed a new rom (4.4) and because I didn't like it wanted to return to my backup. I couldn't find a way to upload it to my GNex using Rom Manager/Clockworkmod Recovery, then I tried to copy to "sdcard" then to /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup, but using root explorer applications I couldn't, finally I used an terminal application to move/copy using comand lines as su/sudo (can't remember which), after this I finally restore the backup.
What's strange is, with Rom Manager I can upload the backup to my computer using http://192.168.43.1:4000, has an zip file, but to restore from my computer to GNex there isnt any option, either to extract the folder with date and time to the correct folder, in this case /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup.
that sound like u already wipe data partition.. just make any fake flash zip to mount up the partition.
then restore the recovery from your sd (if any)..
or can push that recovery data...
1. using correct path - /data/media/0/twrp/backup/folder_name.. or any ( can found this path in nandroid recovery log)
