Does the new CWM 3.x.x.x with voodoo make full backups without disabling voodoo?
Or is it still necessary to disable lagfix to create a backup?
I've read all over with no luck, thanks in advance for the responses.

Bump.

Backup normally. You just have to restore a voodoo backup to an active voodoo rom/kernal.

Does anyone know of a backup or imaging program that will restore apps and screens without user input. I understand the donate version Titanium Backup will do this but it doesn't backup sms call logs etc.
Any assistace is appreciated.
You've probably heard of nandroid, which is a function of Clockwordmod. So Clockwork mod has a full imaging backup tool, nandroid. It makes a bit per bit copy of it. That's what I would suggest. You need root (but you have titanium backup, so I imagine you already have it).

+1 for nandroid, it does require you to manually back up. You can't set a schedule, but I like to think most people who have it are smart enough to backup before modding or changing roms. On a side note, I would copy said backup to a computer if you are going to mess with the file system like voodoo does.

mybackup pro will do this, it is a paid app, but it backs up mms and phone call log, will do apps, but not the data with them like titanium.
If I flash a new rom and then do an advanced restore and restore data, does this restore my apps + data on clockwork recovery?
I tried searching the cw page on xda as well as the reg cw page n couldn't find It.
I know I can restore apps via other methods but nandroid would be better for me. TIA

I would recommend Titanium Backup over anything else. Its simple and gets the job done. I posted a guide in this forum which wil walk you through the process to backup and recover from backup.
I have been doing Advanced Nandroid Data Restore ever since I learned what a Nandroid backup was, on every ROM, and I almost never get forced closes, or any issues that I can think of. I am posting my method over in The XDA Fascinate area, but I think the devs cleaning up the ROMs is what makes this work so well.
I do that advanced restore data method when upgrading to the same type of rom. Such as Bionix 1.2.1 to Bionix 1.3.1 to Bionix NextGen1 to Bionix NextGen2, etc. Never had a problem.
Does voodoo have to be disabled on order to make a nandroid backup? Do you have to disable in order to restore a nandroid? Thanks

No you don't have to disable voodoo to make or restore nandroid.

Ive searched this forum, and general forum and even clicked the "similar threads" it suggested and i couldn't find an answer.
I have a few questions about the nandroid backups. I have successfully used nandroid, and am comfortable with the backup and restore functions..and I understand that being voodoo - that I must disable before i can nandroid restore to a non-voodoo setup..
i am using the "standard" red CWR..not the updated 3.0 orange one..
here are my questions..
1. let's say i make a nandroid backup of my 2.8 superclean voodoo that i am running now.. i go and flash MIUI and make a nandroid of that one.. can i flip flop back and forth using restore? do i need to wipe data/cache for each prior to restore? and will flip flopping back and forth cause any issues?
2. can i use any of the system tools (super manager/astro/ect..) and/or via SD connection to computer to rename my nandroid backups so i can differentiate between them better, rather than just having it named the date of the backup? if i rename it will it bork the file so it wont load when flashing a recovery?
3. some ROM's come with kernels attached..does the CWM note this and reflash kernels those possibly different kernels upon recovery since a specific kernel is running at the time of the backup?
thank you!

I can tell you nandroid doesn't flash kernels, you'd have to keep track of that manually if you use different kernel with each rom.
Depending on framework, and various other things I would imagine there's room for the two nandroids to interfere with each other but that's just my guessing, and I'm not very sure.

I would recommend wiping in between each restore. As long as the ROMs are both compatible with the kernel you're running, there shouldn't be an issue.

Yes. All the backup name is is a folder where the backup data is stored. It can be renamed to whatever you want.

I get tired installing everything with titanium backup. If I use a nandroid backup can I go from ROM's such as comm romm 1.3, to Evil fascination without use of titanium backup?
Would I just go into recovery and go to advanced restore and restore just the data? Would this screw up the whole ROM or would I get my system settings and apps back?
Another quick question, and off topic:
I have update.zip on my sd card from flashing CWM many moons ago. I'm on version 3 of CWM, do I still need update.zip on my phone?
You can get rid of the update.zip if you're using CWM 3.x (or even most 2.5.x). If you aren't applying update.zip to get into CWM, then the update.zip is useless.
As for restoring data from an nandroid backup, you could possibly do that, but you'd have to restore only data, and even then you may run into problems. It's likely safest to use Titanium Backup, and only backup non-system apps/data. I just did a restore today via Titanium Backup, and it only took like 5 minutes, and I didn't see any hassle with it. Did you purchase Titanium Backup, or are you using the free version? Using the paid version may make restoring a little more painless for you.
