Is there a method of copying the system from the emmc onto an sd card? I know there's a bootable sd card image available, but I don't want to go through the hassle of redoing all my settings and apps.
Titanium backup the internal install then boot into the cm7 sdcard and restore apps and data via titanium backup.

if you pay the couple dollars and take the titanium backup to the next level, then you select 'menu' and then 'batch' and it is super easy and slick... you will not be disappointed.

Could someone please confirm the process to me for changing an SD card when you current one already has an ext app2sd partition?
This is my guess but would like confirmation before I go at it.
Go to recovery console
Nandroid + ext backup
Copy nandroid backup to PC
Partition new SD
Copy nandroid to new SD
Nandroid restore from console
Thanks
Never mind, found the answer in the CDMA forums

Is this program suppose to restore apps to the phone or back to the original location, i.e. Sd card? I tried to do a full wipe and when I tried restoring, it used all of the phone memory.

If you are not using an EXT partition on your SD card, then MyBackupRoot will attempt to restore everything to the limited internal memory.
If your using S2E or DT Apps2sd, with a ext partition on your SD card, then it will restore your apps to where they came from.
Where you do gals and guys restore your apps. to on this phone? First, by default Titanium Backup was looking at Internal SD Card for storage on this Amaze, so I corrected that in the preferences. Now when I went to restore the apps., it also restored to the internal SD card. Is that correct? How does it normally do it? Does it normally restore to the flash of the phone? I read that when you wipe via Clockwork, for example, before installing a new ROM, it does not wipe the internal SD? Surely I still have to still restore the apps right? Would we just restore the apps, and not their data?
Does anyone else have an issue with backups taking a very long time, both through TWRP and CWM?
I use CWM and experience a long wait only when backing up to the external sd card, backing up to the internal memory is faster, however I can't locate the backups when i save them to the internal sd.

Just wondering where a nandroid backup should be stored and if it matters where it is stored? I tried saving my stock rooted backup to my ext sd card awhile back, and now when I try to restore from backup in twrp there is no information found. I then tried to factory restore from twrp and reset my phone as is. It constantly bootloops until i pull the battery out.

What do you mean no information is found? I believe Twrp checks the internal sd by default and wont show your backup in your external sd until you change to look for it in your micro sd card. When you boot into recovery and and then hit restore at the top does the storage bar say Internal storage? If so tap it and change it to micro sd card then your backups should be displayed.

You need to make sure that your Recovery is compatible (i.e., can read) the format of your external card. You might have a 64gb external card formatted in exFAT which TWRP can't read (I don't use TWRP so I don't know if that's the case).
If the issue is compatibility between your card format and your recovery, I would recommend copying the backup off your card onto a PC, reformatting your sd card to FAT32, move the backup back to the card, and try again.
PS - in re: your ? on where to save backup: Internal storage is always 'safest' from a recovery perspective (i.e., your device will always find it); but these days, nandroid backups could be 5GB or more, consuming a huge chunk of space, especially if you only have 16gb to start with. So I think most people end up using their external card.
