Can't restore Nandroid backup - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've made a Nandroid backup a couple of times, both on internal and external memory, and every time I try to restore the data part is corrupted
Anybody else had this problem, or does anybody know of a solution?

No solution if corrupt but make sure you use the same recovery version .

It's corrupted every single time for some reason

I've been backing up using the CWM app, not recovery. The app backs up to internal and external.
Recovery doesn't let me back up to external, it says "can't mount backup path"

help regarding backups and flashing roms

i'm actually new to this stuff, i've been trying different roms to find what's more suitable for me and i have one problem.
the guides said that when you install a new rom, you have to wipe data and then flash your sd cards, but doingso erases all my apps and everything else, is there anyway to backup those stuff and easily restore them after i've installed a new rom? thank you so much in advance for your help.

Use titanium backup to backup your apps and app data before flashing rom's.
but where will the titanium backup store the backup if i'm supposed to wipe my sd?

First wipe and partition your SD and reboot. Use titanium now to backup all apps. Also now you can copy anything to SD. For example download rom now and flash. As partition already there, no need to partition again.

if u have recovery installed then just Nand backup along with ext backup.. it will completely take a backup image of ur ROM along with sttings and applications installed..
when restoring just Nand restore ...

Does it happen to all the backups you have done? Did you do a SuperWipe and then try and restore your backup?
All back ups n I've only done wipe thru recovery not really sure what super wipe is

Download SuperWipe. Put it on your SD card. Flash it through CWM. Then try and restore your backup.
OK thanks ill try it now

Restore pictures folder

Hello
I just change the ROM, and I realized that I was missing pictures, probably a folder that was not on the SD card (I did wipe all expect SD card).
And i saw my GoBackup app (premium), did not backup these photos ..
But I have a nandroid backup, complete.
How can I restore my photos only? (knowing that I restored the file / data, but there is nothing. Is there an app that takes care of backups and restores what we want?
Regards
PS : if i'm in the wrong section, is it possible to switch the place of my thread ? tks !
Restore nandroid, find where photos are saved, move to PC or SD, flash new ROM again and add photos

If i make this, with nandroid, do you think that all will work correctly, like my apps, my phone, my wifi, ?? Or i can have some problems or not ?
The nandroid restores all partitions as they were, its a snap shot.

So, i won't have any problems ? Just the time it will take to me ?
That's the point of a nandroid
Make nandroid
Wipe clean
Flash ROM
Play with ROM
Make nandroid
Wipe clean
Restore old nandroid
....
Just do this at each ROM flash and you'll be happy
