[Q] Rom back up ?'s

Okay, I know of Titanium Backup, I have and use it. My questions is what will let me make ghost copy of my current rom. Like Acronis does for my HDD. I want to perma root when I get home but I keep waiting to ditch bloatware until I know I can make a flashable copy of my current rom, like a snapshot with settings, apps and all. If this isn't possible I have two questions. 1. Why? and 2. What will get me the closest to that (app or mod wise). I dont want to do the mod that bites me back one day bc I broke functionality or something.
i would like to know this too
Wait until Koush ports his Clockwork Recovery.
Get the commands for dumping img then dump system.img boot.img and data.img
That way something happens. You can fastboot flash imgs

Wait for Clockworks Recovery will be available soon. Then you can back up your ROMs.
Thanks. I'll read up on Clockwork.

[Q] Do I still need the files

I was wondering if I make a backup through clockwork and I need to revert back to the backup, do I need the files on my sd card that are included in the backup.
For example I root my phone and use a certain kernel and rom. I make a backup after this is installed. Can I remove the rom and kernel from my sd card or does it need to stay on there?
Thanks.
Yeah you can remove the rom and kernel .Zip's and everything will be fine..... as long as you keep all the files that the backup made (the .md5 and .img's)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yea I planned on keeping those, was just going to delete some of the zip files.
Thanks.

[Q] Back up .Zip files

Easy question. Do I need to keep the original zip files on my phone in order for my backup/restore (s) to work correctly, or can I always restore my ROM's without the orginal files? Just looking to save space, I have 3 great ROM's now, Codename Droid, Gummy Nex & FoxHound. I change em up often.
If you are talking about the original install files you can delete them if you already have an nandroid of the ROM.
the .zip is just the installer. Once you have a backup made you will be able to restore that just fine.

Pull img from ROM

I was just thinking, if we did brick, could we have the system img backed up from your favorite rom and flash that instead of stock. Or would you need the baseband, firmware, etc. Or is this even possible? Sorry if this should be in general.

Yes, you can. You'd want to back up both the system and boot partitions from the ROM of your choice, and use those two partitions instead of the ones provided on here.
However, you actually don't have to flash the stock images at all. That is an optional step. If you intend to install CWM after doing an unbrick, then you can just restore the backup of the ROM of your choice using CWM instead of manually doing it like you are describing. That's probably the better way.
