TWRP compression functioning? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

When a backup is done with twrp it takes up almost 10gb of space. I see there is an option to choose compression when doing the backup. Has anyone here tried that and does it restore just as well as a non-compressed backup?

I have used this function and restored from it as well, it works as it should. Last backup was 2.2 GB. Using garak twrp. The backup and restore does take a little longer though.

Backup Android settings

So I updated from CyanogenMod 9 20120306 to 20120309.
Copied my files, made a backup with ClockworkMod just in case and also created a backup with Titanium Backup Pro.
After flashing I restored the Titanium Backup... backup. Everything was there except the Android settings like display brightness and used traffic.
How can I backup those? Couldn't find anything about that. Just a hundred guides about backing up apps.
Use advanced restore in cwm and 'restore data' that usually restores most settings for me anyway..
Thanks. This also seems to restore apps.
So umm.. what exactly do I need to praised "must have" Titan Backup Pro for? Because it looks prettier or has this freeze feature that I'll probably never need?

Keep in mind you don't have to wipe data between CM updates. CM + Gapps + wipe /cache and Dalvik cache. I'm also looking forward to not having to reflash Gapps everytime as well; I'm sure that script will be back at some point.
Re TiBU it can save user apps +/- data, and system apps +/- data. I can't live without it, and I don't freeze anything.

I have not seen this problem. TWRP will only restore what was backed up. Are you sure that the data was backed up? Go to the folder where your backup is saved... do you see a file "data.ext4.win" in addition to the "system.ext4.win". If no data file then the data partition was not backed up.
If the data backup is there but you are still not seeing the data restored you may want to look at the recovery log after you restore to see what happened.

When you run the backup you have to select which partitions are to be backed up. For some reason it did not run in your case.

In TWRP's Backup menu, there are 5 check boxes giving you the choice of what to backup. System, Data, Boot are checked by default, leaving Recovery & Cache to be selected (if you choose to do so). I just made backups of 2 custom ROMS, and my stock rooted ROM, and only used the default settings during backup. There were 6 files created in each backup: boot.emmc.win; boot.emmc.win.md5; data.ext4.win; data.ext4.win.md5; system.ext4.win; system.ext4.win.md5. After I made these backups, I tested each to see if I could go from one ROM to another without problems, and I could. The data.ext4.win & system.ext4.win should be big files in size as well.
I'm using TWRP 2.3.1.0, and have had zero problems with it (knock wood!)

Can't properly restore a nandroid backup HELP!!!

Hi,
I'm trying to restore a nandroid backup I did with TWRP 2.3.3.0 but I'm not being successful and it's bothering me because now I have an unstable system and didn't really wanted to reinstall everything from scratch...
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong but after restoring the backup and rebooting the phone, I can boot but MOST of my apps are not "installed". Shortcuts I had on the home screen are there with their respective icons, I click on them and I get "Applications is not installed". I also get a notification saying that phone storage is running low, and it is hitting the 2GB limit, but it never was like this before, I had lots of of free space for apps. Looking at the nandroid backup, it seems I have data.ext4.win000 and data.ext4.win001 both with around 1.5GB, which goes above the 2GB limit. Not sure if this means anything...
Why isn't this backup working and what can I do to attempt to solve it?
Any other info I can give you so you can better try and help me, just let me know what you need to know...

There's no way to get around this is there?
not sure if your recovery is corrupt, maybe worth making a titanium backup of apps and system data, flashing a new rom and then restoring via titanium?

The only backup I have is a Nandroid backup and nothing else. I don't even have a running/working ROM at the moment.

Normally the nandroid backup should also save the data which means the apps and their data, hm.....due that it isn't working you have to install from beginning

It's your fault cuz the app data is not being restored , 1stly when you made the backup with TWPR you should've selected to backup the CACHE , you skipped that step since by default TWPR skips that step = no apps data anymore, tho there are shortcuts and in manage all apps you can see those apps installed but with grey collor like when being removed from lets say rom cleaner , theres still the APP IMAGE but not the app it'self , you could try this:
1. Flash old recovery ( the one you used to make the back up 2.3 or which ever you used ) . full wipe , restore nand backup ( don't forget to flash the boot.img in the bootloader if you used different kernel in that time or flash the modules via recovery for the kernel you use atm )
after you boot up re-download those apps that are there with shortcuts but not apps itself and hope for the saves from those apps to be there.
Next time if you don't wanna risk it you titanium back up and save the apps that matter to you , when restoring them back : download the app , go to titanium and restore only the DATA.
or simply check in TWPR when making nand backup to save the CACHE as well in the backup.
Yeah, I know it was my fault... I was at work doing other stuff at the same time and didn't focus on what I was actually doing with my phone and I messed up. I was used to an old recovery on my old phone where a nandroid backup would backup everything needed and didn't really look at the partition options.
I'm doing exactly what you mentioned and so far seems to be working. All the data seems to be there, I just have to reinstall all the apps...
One thing though, since the nandroid restore process didn't work correctly, I was left with a full /data partition and my phone started reporting "low storage" and didn't allow me to do install anything. I looked into the /data partition and found out that the folder lost+found was filling up the partition, I erased everything in it and restored 1.2Gb of free space. I can now install all my apps.
Thank you all.

Your rom is ok but i think your sdcard were you install your app has been modified. Just do a factory reset and install apps again it happened to me too).

Make sure you make no changes in the folder structure and folder naming. It has to be exact the same as it was.......and when you want to restore a nandroid you always flash the boot.img and recovery.img from the nandroid and then do the rest of the procedure

LG Backup

Never not had nandroid backups before so it's a bit scary. I've backed up the EFS using dd but wondered what the LG backup actually does and if anyone has used it after a hard reset. Is the LG backup a full backup of the internal sd or does it just backup contacts and stuff like that?

Nandroid is fine and easy to use just hit backup for twrp it will do its thing than save it on pc or external sd and your done
I've backup lg backup as well but that only backs up setting and app data and what not but not stock rom
So, basically I don't need it, I'll continue to use TB and freeze LG backup as it's not a proper backup

This not fully correct so. Nandroid backup saves all partitions of the phone. But on the G3 without TWRP this is a non option. TB also backs up applications and settings. LG Backup does the same and is not bad. I always use it but have my backups with GO Backup as well. With LG Backup one can restore accounts as well.

Titanium Backup will not restore from Nandroid backup. HTC One m9 Nougat, Rooted

I cannot restore any apps from my nandroid backup onto my phone using Titanium Backup.
It opens the Nandroid backup correctly, and i can select apps to restore
It than says "Processing" for a while, and then skips to the last app and then says "Restore completed successfully", but no apps have been restored.
I cannot find this issue anywhere
Any help is welcome
Same issue
Depends what your selecting vs what you have permissions to do. Rooted? S-off? Restoring system apps? Restoring system settings?. Some things are not allowed to be restored.
Deselect all system apps, system settings, google apps and htc apps. You might have better luck.

Trying to restore regular user apps
Nandroid Manager restores the apps but without data for some reason
Im willing to pay someone for a solution. I think this problem is device related in some way.

The simplest way I found, make a TWRP backup of your current ROM, restore your nand-backup, from there make backups of the apps you need, then restore the TWRP backup of current configuration. From there u will be able to restore needed apps.
Or submit this bug to TB team and wait for a fix.

My nandroid backup is half corrupted... The backup of the apps inside it are fine tho.
Not working for me either, which is a disappointment. Any solutions?

Try to install different versions and everything will turn out ® Titanium Backup - {Mod edit: Link deleted. Oswald Boelcke}
Hi all, i never found a solution to the issue.
I assume by some huge coincidence that both of my backups (nandroid and Titanium backup) were both corrupt. I cut my losses and started fresh, and uses older backups where necessary
