I'd like transfer a recovery backup on a VM...
I've found guides show this from titanium backups...
I know of Multirom but won't work when the recovery backup is from an older/dead phone.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hi!
Im using TWRP as my custom recovery and I did a backup for all my apps because I wanted to do a clean install of a rom. Im now with the new rom installed and anything on the phone and I want to restore the data using the backup (I saved it to the computer before flashing).
My problem is that TWRP doesn't recognize the backup. I've placed it in TWRP > BACKUPS > Folder (it was there when I pulled it to my pc) but it seems to be the wrong place (I suppose it is on storage/0/TWRP/BACKUPS). I can't move the backup there.
How can I make my backup recognizable by TWRP?
What is the best way to backup the EFS on this phone? TWRP and Philz Recoveries for this phone don't offer it. So I guess ADB would be the only option? I would like the backup to be in an editable or mountable format.
Thanks
Hey guys,
The screen on my Z1 Compact just died. Only the screen, so everything else still works - still boots up normally, still rings when I call it, still shows up on my computer drives when I connect it via USB, and can boot into fastboot. It's got CM11 and CWM on it.
My question is, is there anyway for me to perform something like a nandroid backup of my current system from my computer without having to do anything from the phone, so that when I get a new one back from warranty, I can have it exactly as it was?
Thanks!
Boot to CWM and connect to phone with adb. You can
use the builtin adb backup function (will not backup everything)
backup partitions manually like a nandroid backup with dd / tar
make a flashable zip and then do backup_rom("path for backup") (cwm specific command, this should do a nandroid backup)
run nandroid backup in adb shell (I recommend to try this first)

Wow thanks! I managed to run nandroid backup via adb. I can't seem to find the backup files though - any idea where they would have been saved?
Check /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup or /storage/sdcard0/clockworkmod/backup
I made a few backups of my phone in CWM and I have no problems at the moment of retoring, but i really need to backup them yo my pc and there is no way i can find them in my internal storage memory. When I enter in the CWM folder i find nothing like a backup (as I show in the picture). Can anyone help me to find them so I can move them to my computer?
Cwm backups are found in /data/media/clockworkmod/backups, you can pull the data using "adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/backups"
Hi, on my previous phones I used TWRP to create full backups of my phone. My A2 lite is rooted with Magisk and I decided to keep the stock recovery to simplify OTA updates (also there is no official TWRP build available supporting encryption). The phone is already setup completely and I don't want to start all over again so formatting is not an option. Still I want to be able to create a full backup in case something goes wrong or the phone gets damaged. Is there a way to do this or do I have to continue with SD and TB backups? Thanks in advance.
nice q >>>waiting for an answer ???
I used Titanium Backup before. But now I'm using Migrate for backups.
My backup is TB and rsync of /sdcard to a server at home (automated overnight).
I never bothered getting anything else setup. I try not to brick my devices
I did have to restore a few times when I first got the phone, until I figures out how to recover from Magisk/xposed errors without factory reset.
i prefer Titanium Backup method with batch file to backup folders i need from phone memory to PC. of course i backup Titanium Backup folder too,
minimal adb&fastboot package is installed (portable) so i can perform below backup:
backup.bat
these example lines inside
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/DCIM
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Pictures
