I was wondering if making a nandroid backup will also back up the virtual SD card. I have pictures, videos, etc. If nandroid does not back up the virtual SD card is there a different method I can use to back the card up?
Thanks

All of that (music, videos, pics etc) stay on the SD. You could flash 1000 roms and kernels with 25 backups and all your SD card stuff stays in tact.
Hope that helps ya

Do you recommend making a backup in nandroid or titanium backup? And where does nandroid put the backup? On the root of the SD?

There is no SD card...
The backup path is /sdcard/clockwork mod/backup or something similar.
And for which to use: Titanium backup only backs up applications, nandroid backs up almost everything.

I think you know what he meant when he said SD.

I would do a nandroid and a TB backup and yes your nandroid goes to your SD.
Titanium backup will be helpful for your appsand a nandroid will be helpful if you bork anything (boot loop, bad flash etc).
Good luck and pm me if you need any other help.

Hey,
On my previous phone (Gio) a Nandroid backup could be restored becuz cwm could access .rfs filesystem, is it possible on Gmex to restore a Nandroid backup from a stock ROM?

If I flash a rom and empty all data, then wouldn't the backups be erased too? Is there any way I could transfer the backup files from phone to pc?

Custom recoveries don't touch the "sdcard" when doing a factory reset.
In other words all you have to do is wipe all your data and flash a new ROM or whatever you want to do. Boot up and open the play store and download titanium backup and batch restore all your apps back.
Yes, but doing backups to external source is not a bad idea. Always.
You can also backup to dropbox.

can you attach screenshot of backup/Restore page of titanium backup?
and have you check size of titanium backup folder?
Sir I also had taken a backup from Cwm recovery mode however as soon as I went to paranoid the restoration process showed no files present there.

You don't have any backup on device
Have you wiped device?
I think you have lost all backup when you have factory reset
It is advisable to make backup storage on ext sd card

Go to preference and then go backup location. Then click on detect and search whole device. Once located just Click on it and it will show up on the restore menu.. If you backed up on your external memory or internal memory without formatting it during the installation then it should be there.

So I always backup (nandroid) to my exsd, then when I try and restore my backup it always fail s? Do I need to backup to internal? Our does it work from external I'm just not doing it right? The only thing I can think of is that I rename it to the room I was using after backup. ..

I personally store nandroid backups on my external and move them to my internal when I know I will need them. I would say it depends on you're SD card, if it's a cheap one I wouldn't trust it with sensitive stuff like restoring a nandroid, also are you using the latest recovery?

Yup - MyBackUp Pro OR Titanium Backup for data - Or a CWM backup of everything.
Yes it is. Referred to as a Nandroid. Reboot into your custom recovery CWM or TWRP, select back up, the destination of the back up to internal or external and run it. Hope that helps.

What he said about nandroids. And I like to use Titanium Backup PRO to backup my apps and data. Also, there are many SMS backup apps that don't need root.
