Nandroid

While trying to do a Nandroid backup, I get a error stating, failure to back up boot image. What causes that and how do you fix it?

Does our version of CWM have the 4 gig limit?
The reason I ask is because on another phone the nandroid backup fails if your internal SD card had too much saved to it.

Nandroid backup do not backup your sdcard data..its lost..you can try recovery software to find it ..next time backup your photos on dropbox

Install Dropbox and enable camera upload...to prevent losing a copy of your pics.

If the data was on your internal sd card it should be in the CWM backup .
Either open the backup or restore the CWM backup or make CWM backup now
restore old one extract picture restore current backup .

Picture did store on internal sd card when create backup.
unless you go down the data retrieval route you have lost it. A nandroid doesn't back up your sd card so that's that unfortunately.

Sir, Nandroid does not backup data on the sdcard..internal or external..try using some data retrieval tool..

i dont think a cwm backup will include pictures regardless of wherever it is stored.
@ op
try using undelete from play store to recover your deleted photos

Transferring TWRP back-up from M8 to M8

I'm looking for some help transferring back ups from device to device.
Both are M8 ATT
I have the back ups on external SD and while they show up on the backed up device, they don't show up on the other device.
What am I missing? I've never dealt with transferring back ups, but I think I have to change some coding?
Go into titanium settings on new device and change location of backup folder to external.

So you recommend using titanium for this process instead of TWRP?
Complete brain fart. Sorry. Can you not just go to restore from sd card in the menu of twrp

You can, but the new device doesn't see it.

Have you tried moving the contents of the twrp backups from the external sd to the internal sd? Also, was the rom that was backed up a custom rom? My guess is that if it was, it enabled the read/write permissions to the external card which Kit Kat disables on stock roms. If that's the case, and your new phone is still stock, it can't restore from the external. If you're on a stock rom now, go flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700310 to enable permissions and you should be good to go.
I'll try that.
Actually backed a up stock M8 and transferring to a gpe RUU I don't want.
Same as backing up stock before RUU but somehow it got wiped.

Rooting and backup

Since rooting wipes the device, is there any reliable method to back stuff up? I.e., if I use kies to backup the device before root, can I use kies to restore after root? I obviously can't use titanium.

Rooting does not wipe the phone and you can backup your files to a computer or if you have a external sd card you can backup your stuff there too

Rooting wont wipe or delete anythings, never used Kies before so i cant comment on that.

TWRP Backup Fails

Recently I've noticed when trying to do a twrp backup it'll run for several minutes and backup a few partitions. But ultimately it will fail. I'm not sure why.
Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions to correct it?

Maybe bad sectors or not enough room on your SD card?

I'm showing over 7gb free on the sd card and my backups had been running about 2.5gb.
I suppose the card could be corrupted. I'll have to pop another in and try that. Thanks for the suggestions.
