So... What does a nandroid backup consist?

I'm running CM 4.2.15.1 and Amon RA's 1.5.2.
So I'm actually curious what is actually backed-up in a nandroid backup?
Are my apps, settings, call logs and smses being backed up?
Will I get all those back if I were to flash CM's v5.0.7 and do a nandriod restore?
What if I were to flash the ROM to other dev's ROMs?

If you use bart it backs up everything.
nandroid (last time I used it, it may have changed) only backs up the rom.
Code:
bart -s name
for backing up
bart -r name
for restoring
bart -d name
to delete (you can have multiple backups)
Will I get all those back if I were to flash CM's v5.0.7 and do a nandriod restore?

If you flash a rom and do a restore from nandroid / switchrom / bart you will be back to your old rom, restore puts it all back

yea if you do a nandroid backup it will restore all your settings and info

If you use nandroid on CM-5.0.7 remember to create a /system/sd directory since the new rom uses a /sd-ext instead. The nandroid restore in Amon_Ra's latest recovery 1.6.2 (see my signature) can optionally backup your ext partition but only if you have a /system/sd directory. It backs up the following files:
System
Data
Boot
Cache
Recovery
Misc
ext partition (optional)
and verifies each file integrity with a md5sum check.

[Q] Just flashed new ROM

Hi guys,
I just flashed a new rom -Stocklite 7.1
This is my first attempt at flashing a ROM so bare with me.
I created a Nandroid backup prior to flashing and I also copied the entire contents of the SD card over to my computer.
I am using Link2SD and an ext partion as well.
Flashed succesfully. However none of my previous apps / data show up, this was slightly unexpected. I attempted to peform a nandroid data only backup to get these by going to recovery mode then advanced data only restore.
But i got an md5 mismatch.
Basically.
I am trying to restore my apps / data and I want to keep the stocklite 7.1 ROM. NOT a full restore.
Any help?

I recommend using titanium backup for backing up your apps. But, you can probably get user apps by coppying/flashing them to where they belong.
Options:
1 go back to stock rom by restoring your stock backup, make a backup using titanium backup, flash stock lite, install titanium backup, restore your apps. To succesfully restore your stock nandroid backup use te ext4 manager app, convert system to rfs, go to recovery, restore.
2 - open your stock backup on your computer with unpacking or iso software (like 7 zip), extract your user apps (apk files), create a flashable zip to flash them to data/app, system/app as needed. You can also flash their libs and data files to data/data and dalvik-cache to data/dalvik-cache. That should restore user apps and their data to internal memory if you don't want to use titanium backup.

You lost all your data..you should have a taken app backups with Titanium Backup,Nandroid isn't enough.
MD5 mismatch is showing up because you changed the name of the backup folder ..
You can open the backup manually, and get all the data.It might or not work,that would depend oon your luck

Thanks for the posts guys!
I just wasn't thinking. I had already taken a titanium backup full backup so thats' all good!

[Q] nandroid backup and titanium backup

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)

nandroid backup

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

After making a backup in TWRP I can not recover the data

Friends. I made backup by recovery now when I try to recover I do not want to restore the System partition. Error: Can not restore System --- mounted only for reading.
Do you have any ideas?
