are they under nandroid with file names starting with CDBMRS??
i've got 11 files that are each between 70-100mb, when I backup i just backup, do I have to delete each one as I go? coz its not letting me backup anymore??
edit: they are.
I stupidly renamed one of my recovery backups and now when I try to restore it does not show up. It still appears in file manager but not in recovery. Can I save this backup or no
deleted
I did a nandroid backup.
Copied it to pc.
Did a full wipe of phone.
Messed about with new rom but didn't like it.
Hooked phone to pc and copied the nandroid to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup (manually creating the backup folder)
Booted into recovery - no restore available.
I did a backup from recovery as a test.
Booted up, hooked phone to pc and cannot see the newest backup location from internal storage.
Back into recovery and I can see the test backup but not my actual backup.
I've done nandroid backup and restores dozens of times and have never come across this.
What am I doing wrong?
did you put the backup in the same file that the test backup is in. i dont think you can manually make a backup folder as the recovery makes it when you make a backup. i could be wrong because i always leave my backups on my phone
Did you just copy the files, or did you put the files into it's own folder within the backup folder?

I wondered if manually creating the backup folder was the issue so I deleted it and then created a backup in recovery. The issue is that the backups creating inr ecovery are not visible on the pc when I look.

I copied the file so it was placed like so:
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2013-05-29.15.31.41
I can see the backup files using Root Explorer from the ROM I was testing.
They're in /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup which should be the same as sdcard/clockworkmod/backup on the pc, right?
I'll try copying the backup to sdcard/Download on pc then move it to the mnt/shell etc folder in root explorer.
ok, copying to download folder from pc to phone then copying from download folder to the backup location on phone worked.
no idea why sdcard/clockworkmod/backup is not recognised in CWM recovery anymore.
I did update to the 6.0.3.1 version recently so maybe that's why.
Hi
After doing a nandroid backup with TWRP 3.0.0.0 for all partitions including EFS when trying to restore after booting up my device it I get an "invalid IMEI" error.
Looking inside the EFS folder I can see that most files are missing and only a default nv_data.bin has been created.
Is there another method to mount the efs.mtd.win file and copy his contents?
Or perhaps another method to restore it or at least understand why it's not restoring properly?
Thanks for any hint.

HI,
I did a TWRP backup and then copied the file to my PC. After installation of a new ROM It seems this is not the way to copy a TWRP Backup to your PC.
Anyone know if I can reinstall from the files I copied from the phone?
Cheers
twrp backup is used to backup your current rom to restore when something went wrong. It backup the whole rom. It is not something you restore after flashing new rom.
