i cant see to find a specific answer anywhere. what is the difference between nandroid and BART. is one better than the other? will one completely back up the phone AND the ext partition and restore both at once?
nandroid can do both the system backup and ext backup. you just have to choose which on.e
bart backup your system and ext all at once.
you can have only one bart backup but you can have as many nandroid backups as you want.
I choose Bart for hero ROMs since I use only one hero rom and that suites my needs.
I use nandroid for other roms.
tthank you
Can we make this a sticky? Took me forever to find this thread.

Hey guys
I'm using the latest Amon_RA recovery. I wanted to flash a rom, so I did a BART backup. I wasn't satisfied with the ROM though, so I decided to restore the backup, but I'm gettin this error all the time
Error : Run bart via console!
How can I run bart via console? And how can i restore my backup?
no one able to answer ? really need some help
I've seen that "run ... from the console" error message trying to do a Nandroid backup on Amon_RA before and the cause was that there wasn't enough free space on my SD card. Once I cleared some room it worked fine.
Might be the same thing in your case. Try moving some some stuff off the SD card and retry the BART restore.
My S7 is stock HC 514, just installed CWM 3.2-4.0.1.4 and Superuser7. I did a Nandroid backup to my external sdcard. There were two errors reported at the completion concerning the external sdcard as if it tried to back it up. This might make sense as, how could it backup its content while writting to it at the same time? The backup was created on the external sdcard.
I was considering NVflashing to R2 and then CWM/R to R7. Has anyone tried to restore a Nandroid backup to go back to the original state? Will/should that work?
I have read posts mentioning "nvflash backup" but searching has found nothing on how to create a backup using nvflash.
I have a few question regarding nandroid backup and titanium backup.
1. If I do nandroid backup of original ROM and then I flash to another ROM, what happens if I directly do restore from the backup from another ROM?
2. What is the difference between nandroid backup and titanium backup? As far as I'm concerned, titanium backup only backup the apps + data. How about nandroid backup?
3. Will nandroid backup, restore all my current states with all the apps + data?
Thanks guys. I'm a bit confuse.

1. If you are restoring from the same android build version then you can directly do restore from nandroid backup.. that will bring your phone in the state you took the backup in.
2. Nandroid backup takes a backup of everything except SD card data... all settings, call logs, messages etc etc.. if you didn't delete anything from SD card then restoring a nandroid backup will restore your phone to your earlier state.
3. Yes, it will.. though it doesn't affect SD card data, so if you delete or add something there it will be like that.
That`s mean i have to flash back to my own ROM and then do nandroid restore. After that, i can get all my previous apps + data? Am I right?

Just to be sure.
First - Do nandroid backup of current original ROM (with apps + data).
Second - Flash to other type of ROM (GB, ICS, JB) for testing.
Third - Change back to original ROM.
- 1st - Flash Back to ori ROM.
- 2nd - Do nandroid restore.
Fourth - Get back original ROM with apps and data like before (same thing as in First)

Does a nandroid backup touch the sd card somehow? I mean if I had done some backups for apps using some Rom (titanium root app ofc) and then restored another Rom where my backups were old :s
Will my new backups gebt overwritten by my old backups when I restore to an old Rom ?

I dont really understand the question but Ill try to answer to the best of my ability.
Nandroid backups are stored on the SD Card. So are Titanium Backup folders. Also nandroids backup EXACTLY how the phone was when you made the nandroid. The custom recoveries also don't touch whatever is on the SD card unless ure flashing something or backing up.
so I think ure question is will the Titanium Backups get overwritten when you restore a nandroid. The Answer is No because like I said earlier, the recovery will only be restoring the nandroid, not erasing anything else.

A nandroid backup takes a full image backup of the different partitions such as /system, /data /boot etc.
Titanium Backup makes file level backups.
If you load a new ROM and install new programs and then do a Titanium backup you will get all of your current programs.
If you then decide to restore a nandroid backup of an old ROM, the /data partition will be completely replaced and only contains programs that were installed at the time the nandroid backup was made.
However, all of the backup files you made with Titanium Backup are still on the SD card, so you can simply reinstall Titanium and then restore all of the programs from your Titanium Backup.
Nandroid backups and Titanium backups are created in different directorires on the sd card and will not get overwritten when creating backups.
i did backup before adding any roms, and now ive found the rom i wanna keep.
if i make a backup of it, will twrp tell me which backup is which? so i can safely do my nightly update without loosing my setting/media on the sd

You have the option in twrp to name the backup whatever you want or it names them automatically with a date stamp. Titanium backs up apps and app data as well as call logs, SMS etc. Nandroid will backup your whole system image. Media is stored on internal storage and as long as you don't wipe, it will not get erased.
