If I performed a Nandriod back-up while my file system was EXT4, can I restore it anytime or I should convert the file system from my phone to EXT4 before I restore ?

if i backup my rom and ext2 partition on my sdcard using switchrom then convert to ext3 then restore the rom and ext2 data on the new ext3 partition will this work or will the restore cough up on me because it was backed up as a earlier file system?
I'm trying to Nand backup my Paragon Rom in Recovery but I'm getting 2 options,
1. Backup DATA: data + dbdata + cache
2. Backup all
also which one do I have to use for recovery,
1. Restore
2. Restore all (be careful!)
also Do I need to disable lagfix before Nand backups?
Thanks a bunch.
Backup all, restore all
Do not have to disable lag fixonly restore this back up if you are on same rom
If I have to switch file systems but I don't wanna lose data will recovering backups restore the filesystem of the backup too?

In theory the latest CWM (5.0.2.0 as of this moment) should be able to restore the filesystem as well as the data. In practice however this doesn't work yet. (At least not for me if trying to restore an ext3-backup on an ext4-phone.)
That's not really a concern though, because you can revert from ext4 to ext3 by running/installing "r1_backtoext3-2x-unsigned.zip" (search for it) before restoring the backup, or install another .zip which will convert ext3 to ext4 without data-loss if going the other way. (Cannot remember the filename right now, never used it myself.) I think Rusty packaged that one.
CMW can backup the whole rom /system included. I always change into CM7 and the Leaked GB via the backup/restore.
i am using phil 3.75. and bertrom. i nandroid backup. but when i try to restore, the restoration did not fully restore my backup. main apk missing. setting missing. alot more missing. when i backup, i didnot change any setting, backup using stock setting. why it did not restore fully my backup or the cwm didnot fully backup my rom.
lost most of my apks
Check in the clockworkmod folder. Do you have a blobs folder? If yes, you will have to change he default backup format to tar in cwm and then do a backup again. Try this time
its already in tar format but the stock philz kernal is off the /preload backup. after i on it. now it all works.
so make sure the /preload is enable under philz setting, otherwise when doing full nandroid backup, the preload folder will not be backup
If I have a nandroid backup of cm11 and then went to try out cm12.1 which requires a bigger system partition, would all my partitions get destroyed?
If so, how do I restore the nandroid backup? Would I have to copy it off to a computer, get a rom that boots, copy it back, then boot into recovery to restore?
