No Compression for CWM?

I have switched to Philz and used ONB in CWM mode: there is no option to compress? Backups are 40-50% larger without compression. Faster, but ... I'd prefer to save the space.
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman248:
In Nandroid Manager, there is an option to compress afterwards, if you want to try that.
[Android Apps and Games] Master Cylinder:
Well, actually, I've just been using TWRP successfully again without compression! It's not dividing the /data archive - 162 GB. I mean, if there is no compression available with CWM on this app, and TWRP works normally without compression, then switching to another recovery, especially Philz, is just not necessary.

There's the answer, and I'm not stuck using Philz (after spending easily more than an hour figuring it out! Which is why it's a pain. No offense intended to Philz lovers out there - it's got 100 options, Fast and easy and intuitive =TWRP, plus I can lock the screen. I'm scared to touch my phone with Philz for stopping or starting something.)

So far ... so good anyway.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] kronikings:
I love both TWRP and Phillz... Phillz backups and restores a lot faster than TWRP does for me though so that's why I like it a little more now, and it's nice to be able to cancel operations if need be... which I don't think I was able to do with TWRP. To each his own I guess

Heisenberg 4.4.2 - i am the one who knocks.
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman248:
Question. Being someone that doesn't intend on restoring a backup unless absolutely necessary, can I just backup as CWM while keeping TWRP and then if I need to restore, switch to Philz and restore? There any issue with this?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
That will work, make Sir you have a recent copy of Philz on the SD.
[Android Apps and Games] Master Cylinder:
On my S3 there was only 20 seconds difference with TWRP and Philz using CWM mode on ONB. You can compress with TWRP on ONB but not with CWM mode as far as I could tell. Compression takes twice as long. 10' 30" for 2.95 GB uncompressed vs. 20 minutes compressed.

TWRP doesn't have any way to stop an operation that I've been able to see. I did use the stop operation on Philz - because I started stuff by accident so many times! ;p

Also, I'm able to use the default settings in 'Shell' and 'Busybox' in 4.3 and TWRP - without compression. Had to choose differently with compression before.

I'll have to see how much of a hardship living without compressing Nandroids is which is the limitation for now on ONB (for me): on a TW ROM = 1 extra GB per backup.

Online Nandroid Backup

Hi,

I am using Online Nandroid Backup since June 2013 on my S4-I9505 with CM_11-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7-jflte and have found a bug:

Scheduled Backup will run only ONCE and not EVERY DAY :crying:

What's the reason?

Regards

Manfred
[Android Apps and Games] freeekbert:
I have had the same issue on my S2 running on XenonHD. I've tried and I can say: reinstall of ONB works a charme, now I can finally user Tasker.

Would it be possible to add an option to turn off vibrating after finished backup? (I know that the original script does offer a command line parameter for this...)
[Android Apps and Games] SJMarty:
For the backup name, whether I select "Phone Timezone Name" or "UTC Timezone Name", the backup name is always UTC. Anyone else observing this behavior? Is this a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Same for me
[Android Apps and Games] SJMarty:
Since OBackup appears to have been abandoned, I purchased the Pro version of this and Nandroid Manager.

The scheduler in ONB doesn't allow me to pick a specific day of the week to run the backup so I created a task in Tasker to run every Sunday at 2:00 AM. I am using EMail Me Pro to e-mail me when complete and attach the log file from the backup. I determined that the log file is located here...

/data/data/com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup/files/nandroid.log

The backup job completes and the log file is there but Email Me Pro will not send the e-mail. If I remove the attachment from the task, the e-mail goes through.

If I set up a template in Email Me Pro with the attachment, I get the following error message trying to send...

There was a problem sending the email. Error: IOException while sending message.

Again, removing the attachment allows the e-mail to be sent.

I think this may be a permissions issue with the nandroid.log file but I'm not really sure. Hopefully someone else is trying to do something similar and has already figured this out.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Any issues sending templates/emails with other attachements? I noticed on the EmailMe Pro Play Store Page there are some complaints about attachments not working in some cases... Or were those your comments :).

I tried to d/l to test, but only Pro allows Tasker integration... I've asked the dev of the program for extended testing window as well. (Worst decision Google made, change to the 15 minute refund window...well maybe not the worse lol. Fine for games ant shizit, but for actual productivity, more time is needed.) /soapbox

Anyway, I also see selfmail app, l, but I don't think it supports attachments at all.

Now, after all that ;) - do you specifically need the logfile, or just an email showing the b/u was successful or not? Because if you just need a pass/fail email, it should be easy to do reading the ONB notification and emailing from that I would think...

EDIT - joaomgcd's Autoshare may be another option that would work - I'll look into it tonight...
[Android Apps and Games] SJMarty:
No, the comments weren't mine. I have no problems with other programs. In fact, this is working with OBackup using the exact same setup. The only difference is that its log is located at...

/data/media/Android/data/com.pommedeterresautee.twoborange3/files/2borange.log

I also e-mailed the developer for support with this specific situation. Waiting to hear back...

My preference would be the whole log file but I think a pass/fail may be OK. If it fails, I would just have to manually pull the log vs. already having it in e-mail.

I still suspect the permissions on the file may be an issue but I don't know enough about the permissions to be sure. The OBackup log has 664 (-rw-rw-r--) where the ONB log has 660 (-rw-rw----). Doesn't 660 mean that only the owner and group can read/write and no one else can read or write?
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Yes, Owner/Group/User. A simple test would be to just manually set the perms to add r for user on the nandroid.log file, 644 typically, or 664 if you prefer, and try the email related parts of the task again. If that solves the issue a quirky workaround would be to manually set those perms on the file as a step in tasker I suppose.

EDIT - yes I just tried it, after changing perms EmailMe Pro was able to send with the nandroid.log file attached. :good:

So, you could add a step in the task setting perms for the file before kicking off the email bits... I used secure settings, but if you don't have that (everyone who has tasker, should, however :), then you could do it with tasker run shell.
[Android Apps and Games] SJMarty:
You beat me to the punch. I changed the permissions of the ONB log file to 664 and EMP sent the attachment successfully. :good:

I do have Secure Settings. Working on settting up the command now.
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Cool. Not sure how fancy you want to get, but you can use some basic command line and variable to send a nicely formatted email with status in the subject as well, so you don't have to open the attachment unless you see a failure/error...

A1 is the command to set perms as discussed

A2 is a tail of the log file, grabbing the last two lines (since the last line is an exitcode=0).. You could use that exit code for Success, assuming a failure would be a different code, but this is the simple version, and I didn't know if ONB has multiple error codes or just one. If you know the codes for failures you can expand upon this with more detailed error info into the variable and thus into the subject line, etc....

A4 Sections out the timestamp and the exitcode bits...

%ONBL is the output of the tailed log file

%LOGSTAT is the sectioned off text - ie "23:37:41 Online Nandroid Backup Completed in 0 minutes 15 seconds!" becomes "Online Nandroid Backup Completed"

Then use the %LOGSTAT variable as the subject line in EmailMe Pro app...

ONB Log Email (39)

A1: Secure Settings [ Configuration:chmod onb log (Root) Package:com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin Name:Secure Settings Timeout (Seconds):0 ]

A2: Secure Settings [ Configuration:tail nandroid log Package:com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin Name:Secure Settings Timeout (Seconds):0 ]

A3: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:5 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]

A4: Variable Section [ Name:%ONBL From:10 Length:32 Adapt To Fit: off Store Result In:%NLOGSTAT ]

[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Don't have an answer, but don't think it's anything FTP related - appears to be blowing up when ONB attempts to zip the backup files.prior to uploading.

Stopped Working with TWRP Again

Well, what a drag. One day to the next it stopped working properly again. I've been using TWRP without compression and it worked fine for a week then yesterday my backups started taking 25 minutes instead of 5 or 6, so I tested one and same problem as before - boots but it's starting from scratch - might just as well flash ROM again. It's dividing the /data file. Why today and not yesterday or 2 days ago?

I tried changing all of the options but no go. Either I'll have to use Philz or CWM or give up ONB. I'm leaning towards the latter at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] okidokiss:
Well, I had my first problem with nandroid backup.

The phone as completely freeze while in backup. I woke up at 07:30, looked at the phone and it's was only 03:25. The only way to make it work was press power button and keep until reboot.

I’ve a scheduled backup for 03:00 AM with ftp file transfer, was working ‘till today. Also notice that, on ftp side, there was an incomplete backup.

Also noticed that, and that could be the reason for this problem, I had 3 zip files, backups, on /sdcard0/ and it was full. Seems that Nandroid Backup doesn’t delete old zip files, or not all of them, that can lead to a full disk.

Thank you all for this app.

I am still getting exitcode [2] with ash shell or exitcode [1] with Default shell. Yesterday it worked, but today it doesn't. Does anyone know, how to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
A quick "fix" is to replace the 9.50 script in /data/data/com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup/files/ (or wherever it lives on your system) with the previous onandroid 9.20. This might at least allow you to run a proper online backup until H3r3t1c and/or Ameer come up with a more permanent solution.
[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
But maybe this didn't work if app updates script automatically, there is no option to disable auto update or i didn't see it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman248:
Mine is still 9.20. How did anyone even get 9.50?
[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
I can confirm this.

After replacing onnandroid v9.5 with onnandroid v9.2 from my last nandroid backup, Online Nandroid Backup is able to create backups again.

woke up this morning and found that ONB backup script was updated to 9.50..

unfortunately, i could not create any backups after whatsoever...

solution is to locate the "onandroidv9.20.zip" backup script..

found the script from this location "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1620255...

scroll down the page and look for "attached files'..

download the onandroidv9.20.zip file..

do not flash the zip file!!!!..

do not flash the zip file!!!!..

instead,

open/extract the .zip and copy the "onandroid" script file to the "/data/data/com/h3r3t1c.onnandbup/files" folder and change the permissions to rwx rwx rwx..

problem solved..

OP will probably fix the errors and release the new update...

in the meantime..disable automatic update in google playstore for ONB..

extracting 9.20 manually corrects issues, thanks to all for the information...

However, in t/s this I did happen to notice - unrelated to all this I believe - that Nandroid Manger does not seem to be able to explore/open any of my data partition backups... It can open up all the other partitions fine, but not data. Would it be a size issue, since /data is so much larger? Or do I have a configuration issue? And now that I am thinking about it, the last time I actually used a nandroid to restore, pretty much all I got is a bare system, ie like a factory reset - no user apps at all - which at the time I though was a fluke, but now I am thinking something is amiss with ONB and the /data partition backups. Just not sure if app problem, or operator problem :).
[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
What backup type and mode are you using?

Check in Online Nandroid Backup app Settings > Default Backup Settings > Backup Type and Backup Mode. I am using type = "Clockworkmod" and mode = "Normal" .... and get .img and .tar files as backup, which can be explored by Nandroid Manager app.
