Hello, I need to flash another custom ROM to my phone but also I want to revert back to the current installation if I need to. Is TWRP backup "Boot","System","Data" only what I need to backup?
If I restore this kind of backup will my apps,settings,call log,messages be restored?
TWRP I use is 3.1.0-0

Yes, exactly.
You need to Tick "everything" In TWRP.In case Things Get broken.And yes It will backup Everything.Check the term Nandroid Backups.

Since a new custom rom only rewrites the boot, system and data partition there's no need to backup anything more if you want to try out a new custom rom.

Then any way to make a complete backup like Nandroid? to reset the phone incase of problems when Flashing ROMs?
How are you Finns flash a rom without a custom recovery? Stock recovery doesn't allow for custom rom flashing
I was on the stock ROM + Siyah kern and I made a backup of the same.
Now I have the ICS port, if i want to return to the backup stock.
Only Full Wipe and then make a restore from bakup CWM?
Thanks

You might have to flash your old modem since the CWM backup does not contain the modem and most ICS ROM's come with non-compatible modems.

Is it recommended to create a new Nandroid backup after flashing a ROM and setting up the phone again?

Yes, that way if something is wrong with the rom or you don't like something when you flash it you can easily revert back. Grab Con's Flashable recovery helper, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547496 . Make a backup, and when you want to restore it flash the recovery helper first. It will take you to bootloader with a newly created ph98img, let it update and reboot . Now, you will be in recovery again . Just select backup/restore..select restore and then the nandroid you just made . This time it will restore the nandroid including the kernel.
Otherwise, when you restore a nandroid you still have to remember to flash the same kernel that was in the nandroid because with S-On our backups can't restore the kernel.
P.S. just remember to remove the PH98IMG zip from the SD card afterwards or you will have trouble booting back into recovery if you don't.
If on the .22 firmware, dont backup android secure. Also if restoring an ICS nandroid while currently on ICS no need to flash a kernel.

Is restoring your backup through CWM not working? Or you are wanting to rid the phone completely of CWM and any modifications?

I would flash twrp first, backup modem and boot.img. infact if i was you i would make a full nandroid backup with twrp. This will backup absolutely everything just incase.
