Today I was restoring my apps from CWM backup through nandroid manager after flashing new ROM..my CWM backup was compressed(medium compr)..nandroid manager app asked to decompress the backup to restore apps and data.due to some reason my phone restarted in 85% of decompression process! now my backup is corrupt
Is there any way to recover my data from backup(my backup is still ~2.5gigs..

I made a backup when i first decided to flash a ROM on my phone, but i didn't know about apps like titanium backup at that time, where i can just backup an app or game and also backup the data along with it.
is there a way to get into any of the image files from the nandroid backup and retrieve data like game saves/data and stuff?
You could always backup your current ROM, restore the old ROM, install titanium, restore your current ROM and use titanium to get back the old stuff.

Do a search for a tool like unyaffs. You can use it to extract the data partition from your nandroid backup. Then you can grab the data from whatever apps you are trying to restore individually and copy the files back to your phone.
hello. so i did a nandroid backup of my rooted el29 gingerbread + cwm epic 4g phone a week ago. it created a folder on my external sd card (sdcard/external sd/sdc2012-06-2012 folder) ive also continously made titanium backups of the apps + sys data. so i let a friend uninstall a system app(id bloatware) just to prove it could be uninstalled but dont like that i get error messages now sometimes when accessing email, etc. i tried a titanium backup but it hangs for 5min. now im trying a nandroid restore in cwm v5.0.2.7. where is a good guide for this? i went to restore but it keeps saying "error opening directory. No files found." i dunno what directory its searching but clearly not the correct one as i verified almost 700MB of data on external sd card. ive wiped data, cache so it only boots to "samsung logo screen." i also have a backup nandroid on my server so how to i get it to actually restore?
06-12-2012 update: crisis averted. i remember doing advanced backup w/ cwm recovery originally so i just did regular backup. it created a directory cwm/backup/new folder. i put the files from original advanced backup over to correct location and restore did it!! this is just like the acronis images i do for my pc's. what a wonderful thing!!
Today I was restoring user apps via titanium backup in my new ROM JB Soucery.I selected the batch to restore,after 20% it got stuck.after that I can't restore any user apps.it says restoring but doesn't restore. What to do???
Hey, what does those recoveries backup?
I mean - System data/User data..
I just made a ZIP backup with CWM (6.0.2.3) and it's only 312MB (~430MB Unzipped),
and when I used TWRP I remember it was ~920MB (.win files).
In the TWRP backup there are cache, data, recovery, efs, system and boot files,
and in the CWM there are only system and boot.
I only need system backup because I backup the apps I need with TiBa.
(Is there anything else that I should backup?)

the Clockwork backup is a complete image of the phone. the recovery partition, boot partition, apps, and data. you could load a ROM onto your phone and have it not work to your liking and turn around and use the Clockwork recovery to reload the saved image and be exactly back where you were before the ROM got loaded.
on the other hand, about the best app to backup other apps and data is Titanium Backup. they don't get much better than that app for backing up your phone and having as many ways to accomplish that task as you could ask for.
Weird..
TWRP made a complete backup and it's 900MB,
and in the CWM backup ZIP there is only system.tar and boot.img.
TiBa backups only apps (and their data), doesn't it?
I need a backup of my ROM..
TWRP's backup is the ROM and the apps, and CWM's backup is the ROM only?

No CWM backs up everything it always has done.

Hi guys, having an issue trying to restore my CM 10.1 backup, everything will restore apart from data, I've checked the MD5 sum and the data backup is fine, I can manually extract the data backup without any issues it just won't restore through TWRP. Anyone any ideas?
it once happened to me, I'm using CWM
I just mounted data from mount and storage then started an advanced restore then data only.
so why don't you try "advanced restore"
if it doesn't work, it won't harm anything
I've just restored my data from the backup using titanium so now everything is recovered. It's just strange that TWRP wouldn't restore it.
Good to know
update to the latest TWRP (if you haven't) , it might be a known bug.. since the data is not corrupted nor missing and the md5 is correct
all we can assume is that it's TWRP fault , right?
anyway, restoring with titanium doesn't restore all the settings if I remember right, or does it?
