Lets say I am on a fairly stock rom and have a good TWRP backup and try a radically different rom (like a CM 10.x) and decide to go back to what I had before do I have to flash the old rom file then restore the back up file or can I just restore the TWRP backup?
You can just restore the backup but do a reset first. Eg wipe to install new rom

Hi - it depends on what you include in the backup on TWRP. If you select also Boot, System, Data and Recovery you will get back really everything you had. If you don't have a backup of EFS I would include that too. I did that quite often. When restoring backup you have also your old kernel/modem as it was working before. I never had bad experience with that. Whenever I'm now on CWM 6.0.3.5 as I'm using Android 4.3 (Probam 4.4).
I'm on the unofficial CM 12.1 build and went back to my stock rom after a full factory reset and it restored fine but when going back to my custom rom backed up by TWRP 2.8.7.0 and restored using newer 3.0 version most of my apps were missing along with my browser website links folder as well. The stock rom I restored was also one from the older TWRP version restored by the newer 3.0 version and it worked fine. This is the first nandroid restore I've ever done that didn't just restore it exactly like I left it and it has me a bit worried.
When I flashed the new TWRP 3.0 and tried to do a current backup it failed saying my system was set to read only. I changed this in TWRP's settings and the backup worked but I don't remember this system RW change being an issue with the older version. Are these changes meant for Marshmallow's more restrictive firmware and just tweaks we will have to make on older lollipop roms ?
What TWRP Backup partitions should I backup in case something goes wrong when I install a Custom Rom or want to revert back to MIUI?!
Anyone?
I use all partitions when taking TWRP backup (The default options in TWRP). I switched to AOSP from MIUI 10 8.7.5 and back with no problems.
What partitions should i select on twrp backup option if i want to restore my present rom completely if anything goes wrong while flashing custom roms ? ,if any custom rom is working fine but i still want to come back to my previous rom will it can be done only by flashing the backup file via twrp ?
You can select all except the system image. I'm always restoring this way.
Hi all, I'm currently running miui EU rom 11.0.11 with bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. However there are so many different twrp recoveries available all with different things working....
So far I've only flashed one rom since I've got the phone but with all these amazing looking custom ROMs around, I'd like to try out a few but it seems backup and restore is currently not possible.
TLDR: anyone know of a TWRP with working backup for Xiaomi redmi note 9s CURTANA?
Cheers

You should use the latest recovery version available, I think now is the OrangeFox recovery, it's the unified (miatoll) version. To can make backup, the recovery need to able to handle the encryption installed by ROM. To restore the backup... another challenge. I using only data backup and when want to restore, I wipe data, flash the rom, wait for first boot (set same pin code as used in backup), than restore the data in recovery. In case of unlucky situation (encryption difference between "restored" and previous rom, the rom stuck at first boot and need to format data partition (will delete internal storage too!!).
I use ofox recovery, having stock rom in an sd card and migrate backup I just flash new rom and when I want to come back, I flash stock and restore migrate. Nandroid backups are a bit risky I think.
