Hi, i'm using CM 4.3 ROM from percy and i wanna do some backups, so i installed Nandroid Manager, then it asked me to select my clockworkmod folder for saving backups, so i navigate it (/sdcard0/clockworkmod/) ... but when i selected it nandroid says "Invalid Path!You must select your TWRP or CWM recovery folder" ... which i actually do so i don't know where the problem should be.
Appreciate your help!

Yes, if he's using AmonRA
If he's using Clockworkmod the recovery is in /clockworkmod/creation date
I think it's best to restore the nand backup with the recovery that it was backed up with..

It's not best. It's a must.

Stop trying to restore backups made with CWM via AmonRA and vice versa and you will not have any issues. Moving the files will not do any good, simply flash the recovery you have used for backup you want to restore.
Yeah I knw I used clockworkmod for backup nd I'm also using the same for restore.. actually I moved my backup image to my PC to Save space on SD card now I moved it back to restore but it wasn't working.. now I knw wht i did wrong . I put them inside nandroid folder.. but I should have used clockworkmod. Thanks for everybody's Help I will try again later with my backup.

File must be in there :sdcard/clockworkmod (something like that) /date of creation. It as to be same folder as clockworkmod made when you did your backup. Happended to me at my first restore. copy my date of creation file in a clockworkmod folder on the root of sdcard and it works fine
Hi
Tried to find a similar thread but failed so I ask here.
I have a 10.1 Wifii & 3G
Did a full backup with Rom manager before doing anything.
Upgraded to overcome ROM 2.
Realized that there was no Swedish language in the ROM, so I decided to go back to the backed up ROM instead.
When I choose Restore in the Rom manager menu, my restore is there and it looks like it is working. It reboots, it checks the files, applies all img and other files, BUT. When it's done it just sits there on the Overcome CwM Recover v5.1.2.6. It feels like it never gets done? I also tried to do a restore from inside the nandroid menu but same thing. I also tried to wipe several time, but same thing. If I try to reboot the 10.1, it gets stuck on the splash screen.
SO, my question.
I really want to keep my data on the sdcard...
Scared of doing the restock on teamovercome homepage because it says
-"IT WILL ALSO WIPE OUT YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE!"
Is there any tips anyone can give me. Is this because my old ROM had different(older) boot files or something?
Please help

Try installing CWM 4.0.0.4 using Odin and restore the backup and see if it works.
A small advice: Don't use ROM Manager for creating backups and restoring. Always do from the CWM directly. ROM Manager usually messes up the things

I already had that version, but i tried to downgrade but same issue.
Can one extract data from the backup, example favorities and manually add them ? If so wich img file is that and how do i open them?

You can use the paid version of Titanium Backup.
It can restore individual apps+data from CWM backups
Feel free to move this post as I am new and not sure where the perfect place is.
Titanium Backup
-The only thing I need to be running batch backups of is all user apps + system data correct? And only restore apps not system data unless I am on the exact same ROM as before?
-Is there stuff it consistently misses that I should backup manually?
Nandroid
-I always launched CWM Recovery through the GN toolkit using "6. Flash CWM Recovery, Standard." And sometimes I would select Recovery from the Fastboot menu and it would be back at the regular recovery. Is there a different way I should have been going about getting to the nandroid backup? (assuming I can't boot into Android)
-I have now installed ROM Manager and hit "Flash CWM Recovery" and then I made a nandroid backup when I rebooted into recovery. Does this mean any time I choose Recovery from the Fastboot menu that it will boot into CWM Recovery?
Thanks again for all your help and advice!
all the queries u asked had answers by urself. ur understandings are correct.
further TB can be used to remove unnecessary system apps or convert system apps to user apps.
and there can be only one recovery for a device (u hv cwm). so everytime it enters cwm recovery only

CWM recovery backup and restore = Nandroid backup
Clockworkmod is a 'custom recovery' made by xda member koush. Every phone had a recovery partition designed so that if the user messes up a ROM installation, they can recover their phone. CWM is a modified recovery installed into the recovery partition that allows advanced control over ROM recovery, installation and much more.
Features of CWM include:
- NANDroid Backup, This allows you to completely back up your existing ROM with all its files, data and apps
- Restore Backup, Restores a previous backup (obviously...)
- ROM installation, Allows you to install a ROM contained inside a flashable .zip file
- Wipe data/Factory reset, completely erases all of your data contacts, apps etc, leaving your phone 'as new'
Amongst others...
How to install CWM
If you have already rooted your phone using the CF-root Kernel, then you already have CWM! If not, then just install the kernel linked to above in the 'how to root your phone' section
How to make a NANDroid backup using CWMBackups are important because they allow you to restore your ROM incase flashing goes wrong, or you phone starts playing up and displaying wierd bugs.
To make a backup, you need to boot into CWM recovery (done through the 'cwm' app installed onto your phone when you flash the cf-root kernel). Then, you need to navigate down to 'backup/restore' using the volume keys, and select it using the home key. From here, just click 'backup' and you are all set! Leave your phone make the backup (its takes some time) and then just reboot when it tells you its finished. To restore your backup, do the same but instead of clicking backup, click 'restore' instead. Choose which backup you would like to restore and leave the phone to do its magic. Done.
Thanks for your very precise reply.

Hi all,
I recently upgraded my Galaxy S II from CM7.2 to CM9. However, I'm not too pleased with the performance, due to wakelocks draining the battery and inability to get a GPS fix, among other things. As such, I'd like to go back to CM7.2 and wait for CM10. I did make a backup using ClockworkMod recovery before upgrading to CM9. Looking at other threads on the topic, it would seem that I should just wipe the phone, choose the backup to restore, and restore it. However, what worries me is that when I flashed CM9, ClockworkMod itself was upgraded from 4.0.1.5 to 6.0.1.1. I seem to be able to access my backup through "restore from internal sdcard" rather than the regular "restore" menu option, but I'm worried that the backup was created with ClockworkMod 4 and I won't be able to restore it with ClockworkMod 6. Do I have reason to worry, or will restoring my backup work fine? I just don't want to brick my device.
Out of curiosity, if I restore the backup, will ClockworkMod also be downgraded to 4.0.1.5? Also, as I understand it, ClockworkMod's backup is like making a disk image that includes all your apps, preferences, and the like from when you made the backup. Is this correct?
Thanks!

Restore your nandroid backup, it will also replace your CWM recovery once you reboot.
CWM recovery is attached to your kernel
