hi, question for you guys.... I would like to try the new feauture on ICS that let me encrypt my phone (I think it will take more or less 1 hours) and I think It will encrypt almost everything. But no idea how it works. Do u think it will be a problem for cwm recovery ? I mean usb storage, flashing ecc ecc or I ha ve to switch the phone on to use the memory card in my Nexus S ? thank you !

If you encrypt you will not be able to mount /sdcard in CWM, and probably nothing else either
I wouldn't use it until they release a way to unencrypt the phone after, currently only way is to lose all data and reflash rom :/

-=Mission=- Create a Backup rom of everything Apps/Settings/tweaks/background/widgets.
I have the latest Clock work MOD recovery, And I rebooted into recovery and clicked backup then I pressed backup again which created a folder in clockwork folder named Todays Date. But this folder is only 16mb I have a feeling that the info is in the blobs folder what is the point of that the blobs folder literally has over 2000 folders its not neccerally big in size but because there are so many files it takes ages to copy. My aim is to copy my backup to my computer and copying the blobs folder is just a massive ammount of time.
SO Instead of pressing backup this time I pressed create Image.zip
this time it created one zip file which is perfect but its only 569mb.
My original Rom that I flashed was 830mb and I also added apps so in reality this zip should be bigger then the original flash zip
My 2 questions:
1.Whats the simplest way of creating a a backup which i can transfer back and forth from my computer when I want to test roms?
Because when I flash a new rom I always wipe data and all cache so its a fresh install which means if I leave my backup on the phone it will dissappear which is why i want a nice backup which i can transfer back and forth
2. What is that image.zip consist of and I was told its flashable, Is it?
Please read carefully before you answer thank you so much for your help
Nandroid backup not using blobs method .
Backup to ext sd card .
Also if you read the instructions where you got root and CWM from i recall a non blobs instructions .
Nandroid does not backup EFS folder nor modem .
Please read carefully before you answer >>> Please post in correct forum .

Yeah use an older cwm. Search for chainfires cwm in Android development something like v1.5 I think it should be cwm version 5.5.8.0 or something like that. The new backup way with blobs folder is since cwm v6

Um yeh apparently its supposed to be in backup folder.
The only thing that I can see that there is a folder called "Image" and that has multiple files in there and the size makes sense. It just doesnt co_inside with what I have read around the place.. Cant someone just tell me the whole process goddd LOOL theres been 3 replies and I mean couldnt I have had the whole answer in one reply I have been searching around and I mean I have been getting mixed articles I would of thought this would be the best place to ask

Hmm I think I worked it out on my own loool I went to the external sd card and for some reason there is a clockmod backup folder in there and the folder is 1.45gb that makes sense and it has todays date, funny thing is i did not choose to have it on the external

CWM write yours backups in folder called clockworkmod\backup\ inside SD Card
Each backup made in CWM is writed in a diferente folder inside backup folder with a date of backup.
Don´t write your backup inside phone storaga, because every time that you do a factory reset the system clean this partition and your backup is gone.

Yeh thanks but I am actually trying to create a backup of my entire Rom including the Stweaks/wallpaper/widget setups/Apps <<<< All in one backup package so that when i flash another rom and I dont like it I can go back to how it was with one flash
By default it backups to external storage unless you press backup to internal storage(this is how cwm 5 works) and all your apps and wallpaper etc are in there.
However just a correction pressing wipe/factory data does not remove your internal storage it only removes the apps and settings not ur actual data ie pictures or songa etc..

Titanium backups apps not roms .. so if you flash an aosp/aokp rom and try to restore sammy system apps lots can go wrong.. cwm restores the rom as a whole including your kernel csc modem etc .. which fairs far better if you want to try custom roms and wants a stable build to come back to.

Hello!, I have a doubt aobut restoring backups.. do I need to wipe everything and format data and system? or just restore without wiping and formatting?

Restoring factory means the apps and data on phone (not sd card) will be erased automatically.... And backed up with stock apps....

Take a look at AppExtractor. It can read nandroid backups and you can choose which apps you want restore.

Hello,
Am running CM12.1 on my moto E. When I try to restore my TWRP backup from recovery, i don't see any error messages during the restore process. But after the system reboot, I cannot turn on my mobile data. And also I cannot open the 'mobile data settings' menu from notification drawer, when I press that data settings menu, then 'setting has been stopped' message is appearing..
So I did flashing CM12.1 again and now no problem on data menu. Everything working perfect.
What is the actual problem of this TWRP restore ?? Any fix?

I don't have this bug,have you tried rebooting the phone after nandroid restore?
You can also try wiping dalvik and cache
