Hello quick question...
I recently backed up rom i used, via recovery to SD card. After that i wiped everything and flashed another rom.
So, now if i want to restore my previous rom i should do, data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and restore my previous rom right?
No need to do any wipes, it has to wipe to restore the partition anyway.

If you went and wiped cache only, not data, and installed a new rom, would all data remain? What exactly is this cache that nandroid wipes?
I'd like to install a rom for a friend but dont want to completley wipe his phone. I just want to install the virtuous rom, which is basically the stock 2.2 update rom and would like to keep all his data on the phone. would just wiping the cache work? I know some people just install without wiping but would wiping cache help?
And I know a wipe is always better, thats what I do on my phone. But its not mine and would like to save his data.

You need to wipe.
Try wiping system, cache & dalvik cache. Then reflash the ROM. It it still fails you need to do a full wipe.
I tried out a rom and really didnt like it. I made a nandroid backup before hand so would I just go into recovery and restore or do I need to wipe anything first like delvic cache or factory data wipe?
wipe dalvik cache the other cache and wipe data factory reset. then restore. or you could flash calkulins format all.
Well I actually already did it and I just did the restore without wiping anything. Everything seems to work fine I will wipe cache and delvic but do you think I could get away without the factory restore?
A Nandroid restore completely overwrites everything with the backed up files. No need to wipe anything it is done automatically.
Awesome, thank you very much!

Rooted n7100 with cwm installed. Am contemplating on trying some custom roms, but installing new roms usually require wiping data. If I wipe data does it also wipe the nandroid backup I created in the internal sd? Thanks.

No, it doesn`t mate, only mostly user data. When installing a different rom wipe cache and dalvik cache, wipe data and format system. When upgrading to a newer version of the same rom usualy only wipe cache and dalvik cache unless it is a major upgrade.
Thank you very much.
Can someone tell me the best order to do the wipe cache and the other stuff before restoring stock rom backup via cwm?
First of all,flash the right kernel for stock via fastboot... I suggest titanium kiss then:-
Recovery>wipe data/factory reset>restore backup which u want to do...
no need to wipe cache and dalvik?
Wipe data/factory reset will do all...
