although that might be the case, Clockwork backup isn't as good as amonra. I dont know if they made any changes since last time I used it which was 5months or so, but when you backed up using clockwork, it never saved wimax.img which contains your RSA keys.
Hence why I lost my 4g on my evo a while ago. happened to flash a bad radio file which deleted my rsa keys, and then when I tried to recover through clockwork I discovered that it never backed up my wimax.img file, and was SOL.
Hopefully they fixed this problem, I would hate to lose my 4g again.

I do a nandroid backup... the whole process finishes.. Then I go to restore to it.. And it brings me back to a FRESH install of whatever Rom I backed up. It's done this to me now with Baked Snack and CM6
What recovery are you using? Just curious.

I've never used Clockwork so I'm afraid I can't really give you much insight. I might suggest taking 15 min and installing one of the AmonRA recoverys. I've used them since I had a MT3G and they seem to be pretty flawless. As long as you store your backups on your SD card you shouldnt really be at risk of losing anything. Does Clockwork allow you to make and store multiple backups?
Clockwork works just fine for me. I'm not sure what your problem might be.
i use Amon Ra and i have been having the same issue lately, kinda...when i go to restore a nand backup it gives me an error message saying to push it adb style or sumthing along those lines...very frustrating ...kinda lost too for me...any one have any ideas what the problem is ? using FrEakEfroyo v2 with king#6

Have you, by any chance, renamed your backups? If you have, you CAN'T have any spaces in the name. If you named it the full version of what you're running it would have to be FrEakEfroyo_v2_with_king#6

Your problem most likely is that your battery is too low. Happened to me several times usually if the battery is below 30% or there abouts. Plug your phone in, juice it up and try with at least 50 % battery, should work.
Or, I've heard it can happen if you renamed your backups. I never rename my backups because I've heard it can cause issues like this, so I can't tell you for sure if that's the problem.
I'm guessing battery.
This is really getting frustrating. I did a nandroid backup last night of my Baked Snack install. I then wiped and installed CM6. 5 minutes later I had a problem and restored Baked Snack. And it went right back to a fresh install of Baked Snack. I then flashed AmonRA. Installed CM6. Setup CM6 how I wanted it. Did a nandroid backup in AmonRA. Then wiped and restored it. And I was right back to a fresh install again.

Hey guys,
I have scoured the forums and the web for answers, but have found none. I have everything normally displayed on ClockWorkMod EXCEPT the "nandroid" option. Can anyone shed some light on this?! I have been loyally updating ClockWorkMod but each comes with no "nandroid" option!
I am currently running MIUI 1.9.2 with a Savaged-Zen kernel along with vipermod and Supercharger V6. There is a thread similar to this, only it is in the "Vibrant General" forum and it ends abruptly. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901818
It's not called nandroid. You just go into the recovery and select up backup/restore and then backup.
That's what I've been doing for, like, forever, but was nandroid discontinued or something?
It's still a nandroid backup, it's just not called that in the menu.
Backup - Nandroid
Started out with that backup, but quickly moved to Armon-RA, I have had no issues and all the features work without issue. Most all rom’s that are posted have users that are using the Clockwork, a standard recommendation is to move to Armon-RA. Might be a little pain in the neck to switch, but I don’t think you would want to go back.

It's still a nandroid back up, whether it's clockwork or Amon Ra recovery.
The backups are in a folder called clockworkmod on the sd card.
Thanks for all your answers!
Sorry, avwheeler but I am not switching to Amon Ra.
If your using rom mansger you can backup from there, they don't call it a nandroid but it is. Btw, amon_ra is a much better recovery.in terms of features and stability!

I had that problem at first but I had a space in my back up file after I renamed it I took out the space and all was good. check to see if you added spaces if you renamed your fil.

I've never personally had issue with Clockwork but I've heard rumors about it [at least a year ago] having issues clearing dalvik cache.
However, I continue to use Amon RA because I like the look/layout better.

Try backing up contents of sd card onto computer. Then format aka erase sd card using phone and then copy contents from computer back to sd card. I had same problem and that is what worked for me.
Here is the deal.
Got a replacements EVO 4G from BestBuy.
It has a new label under the battery with no serial number.
Pulled the label up and nothing under it.
Revolutionary shows me a serial number but fails every beta key attempt.
Hboot 2.15
Updated radio.
Any ideas?
Very odd not to have a serial number.
Maybe trying to keep us from root.

Know that RA saves backups by serial number and doesn't work that I am aware.
What about CWM recovery?

To me it's not worth the risk, but if you don't restore wimax then you shouldn't have any problems other than possibly having to restore a nandroid from the phone you have.
I would personally just restore user apps with TB and set everything up the way you want it. I'm the kind of person that prefers to start fresh though - everything just runs smoothly.

It won't brick but RA 3.11 would not even restore data or ext.
It just fails at attempt.
Maybe 2.3 would work.

ahhh i would figure perhaps because they are different but I always install my same old recovery, restore back up. then, I update to a new recovery, boot into recovery and perform a new back up.

Amon or Clockwork it can happen on both, his backup file probably got corrupted somehow on his sdcard and now it wont restore. It has happened to me before. I normally keep a couple of backups on my phone just incase that happens. Dont think there is anything he can do but make another backup...
I am a former OG Evo Amon lover myself and wish he did a recovery for this phone but the Team Rogue recovery is quite nice as a replacement for Amon at the moment

I had the same issue. Just got my Epic on Tuesday, rooted it, and I needed to restore my backup yesterday. Said the MD5 sums did not match. I'm using EL29, and the Team Rogue recovery, aka CWM 5.0.2.7. I'll check out that link that was posted by Yamuu, for future reference.
I screwed up a file on my SE4GT and ended up in a reboot, which ended up turning the device off. This happened multiple times.
Luckily, (cough!) I had 2 Backups on my sd card.
Well, I got the MD5 mismatch on the most recent Backup. I transferred the folder to another card (cough!) and wasted about an hour and a half trouble shooting, when I Finally thought to try the earlier Backup, which worked.
I've learned a few things, maybe, from this>
1) always have at least 2 back ups in case one fails.
2) check the MD5 sums to make sure they match, but they can corrupt later, I would think.
3) make a Backup to the Internal Storage also (May have less of a chance to corrupt, but I'm unsure of this.)
4) It's quite possible, because the 2 Backups were about a month apart, that I changed the Version of CWM, and that the Version has to match the version used when making the Backup, of which I'm not sure.
But if that was the case , the later backup would have worked, instead of the earlier Backup.
5) Try the other Backup next time

Team Rogue recovery is great for this because it creates the backup and automatically generates the md5 sum, not giving you the option to name it.

Hit the Thanks in error
I was going to say that if you go directly into Recovery from the phone, instead of through ROM Manager, then Team Rogue does Name the Backup, and CWM flashes the Backup.
I made a Backup from ROM Manager to the External SD card, then I also made a another Backup to the Internal Storage, directly from Rogue Recovery.
Of course, CWM is flashing the Nandroid.
With the above being said, is it better to run the backup, whether it's to the internal or SD Card, directly from Rogue Recovery, rather than through ROM Manager, or does it matter?
I write about my experience, as it relates to the op's, and may help others who are having the same issues

Really? Because I don't use Rom Manager at all. I always go thru Rogue Recovery to create and restore backups. Taking the direct route always proves less problematic than alternative methods. Whenever I do, it looks like this, auto generated file name:
