The backups will appear in the clockworkmod folder on your SD card. You can restore them easily with CWM so it's a good way to do backups.
the backup is sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/your backup files .it was created by time.

Ok I have 5 nandroid backups named by date..Is there a way I can tell which rom they are without actually flashing each? I have vael, ava, myn, and stock and I can't tell which is which.
As for your question I don't have an answer.
But, after a nandroid, I've always gone in and renamed it so I could tell what it is, using a file explorer.
I agree
I said the hell with it reflashed/renamed the latest two and will rename after a backup in the future.
Use rom manager. You can restore, rename or delete your nandroid backups.
That is if your using clockwork.

Just put in USB mode after nandroid and rename your backup from now on

Can you delete a rom off your sd card after youve installed said rom and done a nandroid backup? will that backup still bootup and run correctly
If you talking about the actual ROM zip file then yes you can delete it. If you are talking about deleting other Nandroid backups yes you can. Just make sure you don't delete the most recent nand backup.
thank you sir
I usually like to keep my ROM on my SD card so if something goes wrong, at least I have it. The only time this practice has ever been useful was when I flashed Amon Ra and tried to flash a new ROM. Went into bootloops and found out the hard way that Clockwork nand backups don't work with Amon Ra. Because I had my ROM, I fixed it easily.
Just my two cents. Nandroids usually do the trick, though.

I usually keep 2 nand backups on my SD card 1 stock sense and 1 of my current rom. If I have any other roms Ill just save them to my pc to keep room in the sd card clear.
finding this out now flashed amon ra 1.8 and doesnt see any downloaded roms on sd card, rebooted phone and i have no service. working off wifi only, rom manager is gone and I cant access the market to download ,any ideas
"the process com.android.phone has stopped"
Do you have Rom Manager? If so you can try flashing ClockworkMod...
Sorry, just reread your post...

Place the ROM on the root of your SD card. It must not be in your download folder.
I learned my lesson today and will always keep a zip of a rom on my card. The latest version of clockwork was a bust. I couldn't use my phone for almost 2 days. Thank god I fixed it.

OK. so what happens if you are running beliEVO and then flash Cyanogen. Can you restore a backup from a previous ROM without bricking the device? And if you can will app data be there?

If you had done a nandroid backup of the beliEVO rom before flashingCyanogen rom, then yes, your can restore the backup and all the apps will be there.
But it's always a good thing to backup the apps before flashing a new rom.

Awesome. Same rules apply if it was not specifically a Nandroid? I used ROM manager prior to flashing Cyanogen.
This is a helpful thread, i was also wondering this...
I have a question, can I rename my nandroid backups on my SD card so I know which backups are which?
Also, sorry to sorta hijack your thread, but I backup my apps with mybackup, and data with titanium, but how do I restore that info if/when I flash a new rom? I'm using cm6 and loving it but would like to try more... thanks!

yes, you can rename backups for both RA and CWM backups, I've has issues with putting spaces in the names though so use _ or -
hi all
so i regularly backup my note 2 before I rom it with a new rom.
my question is, if i wanted to copy the cwm backup files off the phone for backup, do i just need the dated backup folder or do i also need the blobs folder if i wanted to do a restore. ?
You'll need blobs too. That's basically the backup files.

Do compressed cwm backup has any effect? I recently made a cwm backup with compression enabled to medium..before that i did cwm backup earlier also without any compression enabled..backup was ~3.2gigs..
But with my recently backup made with compression enabled, backup was~2.1gigs..
If there's no problem to compress the backup in recovery then why its not done by default?

There isn't any problem to compress the data the only disadvantage is its slow and time consuming both in making a backup and recovering from the backup.

What app can you advice us to use? the 3GB CWM back up in my internal storage is really a pain.

Simply copy it to extSdcard/clockworkmod/backup with the help of any file manager.
& then delete backup from Internal storage.
Whenever you want ,simply restore it from recovery/backup&restore/restore from Sdcard1.
OR
You should move it to your PC storage(if you have) for extra care.
Hopefully this helps.

The problem with a compressed backup is that I cant restore it via Nandroid Manager app. Even after decompressing it. I know this thread is pretty old but have you found any more info on this topic?
I've just made a backup with cwm but now I can't find it anywhere in my file..
Running stock ROM
Anyone knows how to remove this backup? Memory is full
Don't have root.
Probably it is in internal sd card. Search for a folder called CWM.

Nope, I did it on my friends phone, was going to flash Liquid Smooth for him, so made backup for safety but the backup took 3gb space and that was all he had left.
I used this one (CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
I stopt after step 6, only wanted CWM recovery because Liquid Smooth would give root automaticly.. I did everything right,
- CWM worked
- Made backup (didn't know it would be 3gb)
- Rebooted, phone says not enough memory
- Can't find the backup. Really NOWHERE, trust me.
- CWM was not installed anymore when I again booted in recovery.
So the problem is that cwm is not installed anymore? If I flash md5. again with odin to get cwm will I find the nandroid backup?
I really need to solve this, it's my friends phone soo..
I made backup for safety, but now the backup is the problem because it's so big and can't be found.
Thanks
