where does all the back ups{ie roms} which we do with nandroid do goes?
i mean does it get stored on memory card or on internal memory..
what happens if i'll format my memory card,does all that backup will get vanished
Nandroid is saved to the sd. If you format the card for any reason save data to the pc first then restore to sd.
thanks mate
Sorry Noob here as well. Where in the root folder could I find the Nand backups? I know I have about 4 of them and I couldnt find anything wit the BDS file name...
I have a nandroid folder at the root of my SD card w/ the backups in it.
Is there any benefit to allowing rom manager partition my sd?
Value of partition SD "I think"

I wondered the same thing at first. I believe the value of this is if you do not have an external SD card installed which allows you to move apps from internal storage (first 2G of your 16G internal SD). When you partition your SD then it looks like you have an external SD so you can move apps that support that to save space on that first 2G. I'm not sure if this is all completely correct but the main point I believe is that there is no value if you have an external SD card.
That makes sense. Is there any disadvantage to having an app on the external sd card? Will Titanium Backup still see it and do it's thing to it?
I don't believe there are any disadvantages. TB will still backup apps on the external SD and I change the backup folder to "external_sd\Titanium Backup". After I flash a ROM which clears all user data, I simply reinstall TB and change the backup folder to the external SD location and all the backups are still there so I can restore.
Hello folks, once I installed a custom kernel that deleted all the contents of my internal and external sd. Like nandroid for the system, I wonder if anyone knows any app that does this for the external sd?

not that i know, it´s also not logical, because cwm backups are stored on external sd ...
just copy your sd content to your computer and you are safe !
And where should be the destination to save the content of the ext card if it were possible??? It simply doesnt make sense. Just copy the sdcard to your pc.
I know that if I unlock now thje bootloader it'll wipe my sd card: does it mean no apps, contacts, etc?
If so, can I make a backup with PC Companion, unlock and then retsore everything? Will this work?
pc companion will not update with an unlocked bootloader.
Backup your apps with backup and restore app
Backup your internal SD card to external sd card or you rpc
restore everything after unlocking

backup and restore app? the one on the phone?
Yes. The the backup and restore app on the phone. You can choose the location for the internal sd backup to be placed on the external sd card or on your pc.

with a file manager on the phone I can see the following folder
.semc-fullbackup\2013-12-18-102519
while if I attache the phone to the PC via usb I see a folder witha different name where the date changes to an earlier backup that I deleted before taking a new one
.semc-fullbackup\2013-12-18-092729
Crap

Is it that you have taken a nandroid backup?
because TWRP wont take any space on internal memory or sd card unless you have a nandroid backup.. Check the folder..
