Can't create a full backup with CWM? - LG Optimus 2x

Hello,
I'm using CM7 and i want to make a nandroid backup of the ROM but for the first time it's not working. It doesn't give an error message but in the end I get data.ext4 and system.ext4 of 0KB :| I'm suing CWM 6

Solution was to change backup format to tar

[Q] CWM error

I get this error while backing up using CWM
Error: Ext sd cannot be backed up, your device may not support backup of Ext sd!!!
And when restoring i get
Error: Ext sd cannot be found.
Why does these errors occur?
At a guess you are on an ics ROM?
Why do you want to bloat a nandroid with a back up of an external sd?, just copy contents to pc if you want to format it

came back to stock GB Rom. Some apps were FCing so decided to reset.
Missing Ext_Sd didn't cause any trouble.
All went well now need to check if those app work or or not.
But one question:
I have a really nice backup with all the installed apps and there data but couldn't restore it correctly as i forgot the kernel that i flashed with CWM using odin.
The backup file looks like a CWM 2 & i remember it was green CWM, but when i use any other kernel with CWM 2 other than the one used to back it up the files isn't restored properly. But i restored it once properly but forgot to see which kernel it was.
Is there any way to find out the kernel & CWM and restore it back properly?
How to find the real CWM used to backup those file?

error backing up image /sdcard/.android_secure

Every time I tried a nandroid backup , always come up with error while backing up image of
/sdcard/.android_secure
Can some one help to solve it? Now I can't do a nandroid backup from recovery.
The file (.android_secure) also can't be delete or change the permission.
TIA.

[Q] CWM restore function problem

Something is wrong with the restore function of CWM. It doesn't restore backups made from older CWM version (5.8) correctly. Some of my apps will not be restored and shown as 'application is not installed'. Extracting the app+data from the CWM backup using TTB also doesn't help. I'm not sure about restoring backups made by newer CWM version using the older one. Any solution? Stock LR5 ROM
Yeah if your backups are in dup format and not tar that problem occurs a lot... (at least for me)... solution would be to use same recovery as backup was made...
I have had much less issues though once switching to tar format (it is an option in recovery)... once you set it, the setting will stay even with kernel changes

[Q] official v20 zip

I wonder if there is any way to find the official v20 euro open in zip file in order to flash it wherever I am via cwm without using a computer .thanks in advance
You can clean install v20 and back up with cwm. Firmwares come in kdz.
and then? i will make a wipe and after that i will backup from sd and thats all?
You should backup from sd first. If you are having any games, use titanium backup to backup and then backup using astro or file expert the apk and data file (obb file). You can install the game using apk and data file and then restore titanium backup to resume the game where you left. If you do install from LGFlashTool, it will format the phone. Just simple cwm backup after factory reset. I think it is better to install from pc than cwm. I hope you understand.
