OK did you rename your backup? If yes, did you put any spaces in the name?

I'm using CM7.2 by Lovetz.
When I'm trying to make a backup of the rom via recovery
It says error while backing up /system.
Is there any other way to backup and restore my rom?

No, complete backup can be done only via CWM recovery. You can try mounting system first and then backup again. If that doesn't work then try re-flashing the rom and using stable version of CWM recovery (v4.0.0.9)
Make sure you have enough free space on your SD card. 300MB-1GB
Depends on the ROM you are using and no. of system apps and other stuff.

Use CWM recovery v4.0.0.9 or 5.0.2.6. It has worked for me.

Okay!
A noob question how can I have/install the stable CWM version?
thank you for the fast replies
Edit : Thanks! got it!
sorry their are only two versions of cwm for ace v4.0.0.9 or 5.0.2.6

Problem restoring from backup using CWM? [Help appreciated :)]

Greetings XDA-World.
Well, Firstly, id like to mention that today is my first day as a registered member of xda. And Yeah, im just 15 so you can call me a noob or inexperienced, i dont mind.
Well Anyway, before i flashed CyanogenMod 7.2 RCO by vo-1, I took two backups of the original stock firmware, one using CWM 4.0.0.9 and the other using CWM 5.0.2.6. However, i decided to go back on stock using the backups but failed, and my Ace is stuck on bootloops. If someone could help me get these backups to work, i would be really grateful.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Admins im sorry ive posted in the wrong place or wrong method ot whatsoever, im a newbie]
Thanks,
UsmanJ

You cannot restore Stock ROM's backups using CWM. If your stock rom was on ext4 filesystem then it could have been possible. But, I think you made a backup of a stock ROM and not a custom ROM based on Stock ROM. Lol, a bit confusing but you cant restore that backup as far as my experience says.

Thanks brother. Yes, i could guess that because most custom rom format the system partition as ext4 because it occupies less place. Isnt it possible that we format the System partition in a way tht is supports the initial backup?
Sorry if im too newb.

Ney. Cuz the original backup was taken on a rfs filesystem. You can try one thing. Flash stock rom via odin, root your ace, install ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.6 and then try restoring that backup. Not really sure if this will help but there's no harm in trying

You shouldn't lose any data when reflashing
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Make a nan-droid backup fom recovery. Wipe everything. Flash new CM7. I recommend CM7.2 by FAT. Go to recovery -> backup and restore -> advanced restore -> restore data

Yes,but remember not to use this method in the future when you are flashing stock over cm as it wont work coz cm is a different build.

It probably wont go into a bootloop if you just restore data. No harm in trying.

try re-install CWM recovery. maybe there are some files missing.
If you tried all kernels, then the problem must be related to your ROM.. Try flashing a custom ROM and then taking a backup..
