Wouldn't just be easier to boot into CWM recovery and do the backup from there? I don't have a comfortable feeling about being abe to restore

my backup after reading 96 pages of issues with the online backup app. I mean, the whole premise of this app is to save you time but so much time seems to be spent on getting it to work. I tried the app and it told me to "get Identified" and then opened a window with several applications listed to choose but i have no idea what i'm supposed to do. I'm reverting back to offline mode.

It was wonderful till restore worked. Now scaring feeling is always there whether restore will work or not and most of the time it doesn't so yup, offline for me too. I went back to v9.20 script too but unfortunately that doesn't work too.

restore?

Please forgive a dumb question... I got this installed and did a backup with no problem. The question is how would I restore if needed? I know I don't have the recovery program and can't figure out how to get it. Device is Verizon Galaxy S4 SCH-1545 with Android 4.4.2. Rooted with towelroot. I tried the Nandroid Manager but just got tons of permissions errors, don't seem to have whatever it requires.

Lots of articles point to using Goo Manager to install TWRP but that seems to no longer exist. Can anyone point me to the easiest and safest way to get a recovery app installed?

Errors when attempting Google drive upload
[Android Apps and Games] wonsky21:
Is there any place I can download 4.4.2 apk, except Playctore (it keeps getting me a 403 error, and there's no working solution)?
[Android Apps and Games] freeekbert:
First of all you will have to install a custom recovery to your recovery partition (removing the stock recovery). You can choose between TWRP and CWM.

No matter which one you prefer you will have to flash it to your device either in recovery mode or via USB debug mode.

Here in the forums you can find guides for both ways, just have a look in the forum for your respective device.

I just did a quick Google search for your device and the first result seems to suit you: http://true-android.blogspot.com/2014/01/install-cwm-6045-advance-edition-on_6514.html

The Nandroid Manager is a helpful tool but it won't work to its full potential (e.g. full restore) without a custom recovery.
[Android Apps and Games] hshah:
Just be glad... mine takes 12 hours!
[Android Apps and Games] Yeti47:
Mine creates all the backups fine, but when it comes to rename the _old directory (must admit no idea why it creates an old dir?) it deletes them all. So all that's left is a log file and an empty md5 file. It much use as they are...

Anyone got any clues?

Thanks

Edit: have tried the obvious, like removing and reinstalling, coming of beta, replacing scripts and shells but no change

Edit2: Fixed by editing the onandriod script and disabling the replace option. All works now, as it only runs every few days no impact.
[Android Apps and Games] hshah:
I modified the script a little to stop it listing all the files and now my entire backup finishes in less than 10 minutes :D
[Android Apps and Games] RiceRocket954:
Care to share what you modified with everyone else that is having the same long DATA partition B/U?

Sent from my deodexed rooted Note 3 running 4.4.2 NC4
[Android Apps and Games] hshah:
I changed this part from:

if $bb [ `$bb echo "$part_size" | $bb egrep "^[0-9]+$"` ]; then
full_size=$part_size
else
full_size=-1
fi
maxfilesize=2047
splitfilesize=1024
if $bb [ $full_size -gt $maxfilesize ]; then

To:

if $bb [ `$bb echo "$part_size" | $bb egrep "^[0-9]+$"` ]; then
full_size=$part_size
else
full_size=$part_size
fi
maxfilesize=5120
splitfilesize=1024
if $bb [ $full_size -gt $maxfilesize ]; then

Probably not the best way of achieving what I wanted, but I didn't want to make extensive changes. What this part does is it checks what the partition size is and then compares that to the maximum file size limit. I have stopped it calculating it as -1 and increased the size limit.
[Android Apps and Games] RiceRocket954:
[MENTION=271749]hshah[/MENTION] - Thank you so much for the code change!

I have made the same change and made a backup (haven't tried a restore yet). My /data partition B/U used to take 2+ hours - this time it took ~9minutes.

For all those experiencing the same issue I have the complete updated 9.50 script attached (unzip first). Replace your old script (I renamed the old script to "onandroid.old") with the updated script.

The onandroid script is in "/data/data/com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup/files/onandroid" - permissions are rwxrwxrwx
[Android Apps and Games] hshah:
Great, glad it works for you too. I haven't tried a restore either but I did browse the backup with Nandroid Manager and everything looked good :good:
[Android Apps and Games] wreckwriter:
Thanks for the reply. I had all this on my old S4 which was MA7 but I THINK this option won't work for the NC5. I'll do more research to verify. Again, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] HaTrED_:
I'm having some trouble with schedule backups and greenify (i suppose!).

Every time i set a schedule backup, the app is able to do it but only on the first time... the next backup procedure is missed and i can't figure out why!.

When a new schedule backup procedure is defined, set date and frequency for backup, i get a message from greenify telling me something like:

"...has been coalesced to optimize battery..."

I think that this feature from greenify is, somehow, interfering with scheduled backups but... i'm not sure, i'm still doing some trial and error tests but i would like to ask you guys if someone has faced this before?

Is there a way to automatically delete old backups from Google Drive?
[Android Apps and Games] SJMarty:
Two others replied and also confirmed this behavior. I also searched this thread and I was able to find the problem reported as far back as September, 2013.

There has been one or two additional releases of ONB just since my post but unfortunately, neither addressed the UTC issue. I have tried system and app BusyBox and both shell options with the same results. I have reported the bug using the reporting mechanism within the app (twice) as well as posting here.

:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
It's not app related. I'm seeing the same thing happen when I make a backup using only the script and execute via terminal emulator.
[Android Apps and Games] Rapper_skull:
Also, are backups uploaded only on Wi-Fi?
[Android Apps and Games] HaTrED_:
Well, after some tests i can assure that this app doesn't work for me!

- TWRP backups seem to perform very well, although they take more then 30 minutes to complete, with MD5 & compression, but when i try to restore them i get a recovery loop and log doesn't show any error!

- CWM backups, are substantially faster, +/- 10 minutes, but they don't restores quite well too... in this case the log tells me that android.secure is missing.

Going back to old, but gold, offline backup... for now it seems to risky to lay out my backups with this app!
[Android Apps and Games] SJMarty:
It worked correctly with OBackup.

Can you post the command you are executing?
[Android Apps and Games] SJMarty:
I can confirm this is not a problem with the script

I ran the "onandroid -p" from a terminal emulator (the "-p" says to name the backup using the phone timezone). A backup was created with the correct file name.

I ran another backup, this time with no parameters, and the backup was created with the UTC name.

Including folders from /sdcard folder?

Using the Online Nandroid Backup app, how can I include my "sdcard" folder or parts of it in the backup (which I send to external SD card)? I would like to ensure that sub-folders, such as DCIM, Notifications, Ringtones are all backed up.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
You can't
[Android Apps and Games] Snah:
I just installed the app because I want to be able to send backups to my FTP. Doing the backup (CWM) went fine, 8 GB. But then ONB starts zipping the file before upload and my device runs out of storage space. Any way to turn off the zipping?

[Written by my thumbs on a state-of-the-art Nokia 3110.]
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman248:
Well, I'm about at the end of the line with this app. Even with just the data partition, it wants almost 200MB and climbing every day more than I have available, which is absurd when it really only takes a fraction of it. I don't have much else to clear out, so I'm about done with trying.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
You clearly don't have clue what you are doing and the tools you are using. How can it be the apps fault that your data partition is over 200MB and growing every day :rolleyes: Actuality 200MB to backup the data partition is very little, for most of us it's at least 4-5 times that.
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman248:
You clearly don't have a clue as to what I said. The app thinks my data partition is 5.4GB. It's only in the 2GB range. But it requires 5.4GB when performing backup, but takes 2GB something. My required space was more than 200MB than what I had, not 200MB in total. Try reading before insulting.

Nexus 5 restoring issues

I've been doing backups with this app, and decided to test a few alternate roms just recently. Upon trying to get back to my original setup (through a twrp restore), I've run into countless issues.

It seems a restore is spewing the contents of data.ext4.win into the /data directory and not maintaining the correct directory structure. Similarly for system. When I do a manual extract on my desktop it appears ok, however trying to do it over adb even though it restores the correct fs structure, there are still large issues when booting (apps are restored, and I can see a background, but other than that it is almost a factory wipe).

I'm using a Nexus 5, TWRP 2.7.1.1, and it's too late at night for me to continue concentrating on this. I've pushed a factory image, but would like my data back... I've tried Nandroid Manager Pro to restore items from the backup... it's incredibly slow (took 3+ hours to work through the apps+data), and was still ineffective. I've also tried this on two other backups.

Any advice that I can work off of?

Namdroid Backup and Tasker Plug in

I am having an issue running via the Tasker plugin.

Running the backup via the app and directing it to the external_sd card is ok

How to delete a backup before a scheduled backup?

Every time my phone attempts to do a scheduled backup, it fails instantly because there's not enough space on the SD card with the previous backup still on there. Is there a way to delete automatically the previous backup so there's enough space for the new one?

[MENTION=510787]Developer[/MENTION]: With new version you added an option to put the location of the temp zio file when uploading. Good, but doesn't solve the problem for me.

[Android Apps and Games] docinthebox:
Nandroid backup works very well run on a schedule set up in Tasker. The only problem is that in the Tasker configuration of the backup the Upload to Google Drive, although checked and configured, does not stick when saved. I mean, I save the configuration in the Tasker action, but when I reopen the configuration panel from the Tasker action, the Upload to Google Drive is unticked.

What might I be doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] intuition34:
According to twrp (when I reboot to recovery) the data partition is about 4 gb. . Is this the problem.

Still, I let it run for over 18 hours on my note 3 and it was still adding to those lists. . That sound right?

If it is 4GB, it should stop making the file lists. Try this:

if $bb [ `$bb echo "$part_size" | $bb egrep "^[0-9]+$"` ]; then
full_size=$part_size
else
full_size=-1
fi
maxfilesize=2047
splitfilesize=1024
if $bb [ $full_size -gt $maxfilesize ]; then

To:

if $bb [ `$bb echo "$part_size" | $bb egrep "^[0-9]+$"` ]; then

full_size=$part_size

Online Nandroid Backup Problem

I have the latest version of Online Nandroid Backup (9.50) I have used this app many times to create backups and it never failed until recently. I created a full backup (TWRP) and saved it to my ex.sd card. I booted into recovery, and did a full system wipe twice and then deleted delvik cache, and then rebooted. I then installed the PacRom Rom, and after rebooting into the new rom, I started received alot of errors with it. So I booted back into recovery and then wiped everything again and rebooted. Then went and proceeded to install the backup of the system I had before PacRom. Everything went ok until the system booted up from backup. It's like it only installed a clean ROM, my apps, pictures, sms messages, etc, was not installed? It was just like installing a clean ROM, so I went back into recovery and performed all the wipes and proceeded to do everything over, and the same thing happened again. None of my apps or settings are restored, just another clean ROM. I have checked and made sure that all the partitions was checked before restore and they was. The weird thing about it, I can go into Nandroid Manager, and explore the backup, and all my apps, sms messages, and all my settings are there! Why is the restore not restoring everything back the way it was, I'm so confused and don't understand why I haven't had this problem in the past? :crying: Any help would be greatly appreciated!!:laugh:

Thanks :good:
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
The app has been updated with the following changes:

* Added upload only when charging option to Tasker plugin and scheduled backups.

* Fixed bug that prevented the Tasker plugin from not working.

New version will be available in the play store soon. New version will also be available for download from the first post.

I have that problem, too, on my old phone and my tablet never had any problem, but last time i tried to restore my phone i got same as you, clean system, data partition not recovered.

Since that i take nandroid in recovery before flashing something, that works. And till someone confirmed that twrp/onandroid works again, i never trust this app again ;)

I today tried your app the first time. I noticed that the backup it takes is not the same size then original nandroid backup. Is this really working as expected? And if I try to do a incremental backup I get this error.

i've been addressing this issue for a long time already but still not fixed. i honestly don't know if the problem is in the application or in the script, but in my experience with previous version of ONB which is 4.2.2, everything works fine for backing up partitions.
