After yesterdays backup start during boot I enabled "Only Backup if device is charging" option to prevent this from happening (at least when rebooting off charger)

But now even the scheduled backup didn't run last night (phone was on wireless charger)

I hope [MENTION=4535362]H3R3T1C[/MENTION] finds some time to polish the app, it seems to have a few bugs that needs to be solved to make this a reliable backup solution :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
I'm looking into the problem now. Post a test build for you all to try out soon to see if problem is fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
Ah, great. As i said some pages ago for me app runs good one time, scheduled backup avery day, rentention on "hold last 2 backups".

But next time it started it deletes one backup (maybe new backup itself) and shows "unknown location". Had the same on SGS2 and Galaxy Tab 2 (on last i set retention to keep only one backup and delete after running..., after running there was no backup left).

Are there logs and where can i find them (if you need)?
[Android Apps and Games] efan3719:
Along with the reboot making the back up, the back up has been running randomly during the day. I have it scheduled for 3AM. Just double checked but for some reason it ran a few minutes ago at 3PM. Perhaps it's confused about AM versus PM?
[Android Apps and Games] Krowbarr:
I sent an Email from the app along with the log showing that on my Galaxy S2 (SPH-D710) it gets to "creating the md5 sum" and just hangs forever on that never completing the backup even after I waited over an hour with it running.

dunno but restoring a backup restore only the rom and not the data :/
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
Ok guys I think I fixed the scheduled backup running on boot problem as well as the random scheduled backup up running bugs. Please try the version I'm attaching to this post and let me know if the bug is fixed for you guys.

Try using a different busybox then the one that is provided with the app by going into settings, clicking busybox and selecting Use busybox provided by system.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Thanks, Installed on both phones Galaxy S2 and S4. I wil let you know.

Any change you also looked at the retention issue I'm still having on the S2. Backups are never removed on that phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Krowbarr:
I'm happy to say that it's working for me now. Did two backups and both complete smoothly. Also my retention setting worked correctly. Thank you:D:thumbup::thumbup:

Installed and rebooted. No backup at startup. Looks good. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
I have not yet looked into the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I'm also happy to report that on both my phones last nights backup ran as scheduled and no more backups at boot.

The only issue I'm still facing as reported earlier is the retention not working on my S2.

Things I tried sofar. Switching between app's and systems busybox and deleting old backup before and after the new backup. But no luck sofar.

The only settings difference between my S4 with working retention and the S2 is that on the S4 I use TWRP and on the S2 it's CWM. On both phones the backups are made to external SD.
[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
Testing the new version, but its like before: sometimes it runs fine, sometimes it stops with "Save Location Unknown" and deletes all older backups, same with scheduled or custom backup. So app can see and use my sdcard (cause deleting old backups), but something is wrong. Both of my devices has SlimRom (SGS2 + Tab2), both have same problem. But Obackup running fine for months, so that couldn't be rom or hardware related issue.

Edit: I changed backup name and it runs, maybe some problem with backup naming set to custom name?

Edit2: Ah, seen it in log, something with path exists, sure, app couldn't write same backup in same folder, that seems to be the problem. Maybe you can add an automatically timestamp after custom naming, like custom name - year-month-day-time ? I think that would make custom naming useable ;)
[Android Apps and Games] siddarthsmallya:
good app

Nice app...the developer responds to our mails..thank you
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
What is the full path of your CWM folder on your S2?

Thanks for pointing out the custom naming bug. I'll see what I can do to fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Here you go. If there is anything elese you want me to test or provide please let me know.I really want to help and solve this.

My cell didnt have the path..after i contacted the developer i got one for mine...but i want to know what are the advantages if i have a path for my cell.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I did a quick backup and although the retention is set to "3" I had 4 backups after the run (al made by the app).

One thing I noticed on my S4 is that backups made in recovery are stored to the same path but are also not deleted by the retention police. I don't know if this is by design and have anything to do with this issue but wanted to mention it to be as complete as possible in describing the bug.

[Android Apps and Games] ColeTrain!:
About to try this, looks great. The name contains "online" I was thinking it was going to a cloud or something. I guess the online is because you can do it while online and not in recovery? I assume that is correct, let me know of I'm wrong! I'll post back after the backup!

You can't stop the Coletrain baby!
[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
Some new problems with this app: Sometimes scheduled backup didn't start at given time, sometimes it needs hours to finish (if screen is not on). Maybe some problem with a proper wakelock to wake cpu from deepsleep?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
There is a test version 2 pages back, did you try that one.

If the backup takes longer with screen off than you probably have something on your phone reducing CPU performance while screen is off. Not much this program can do about it.
[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
Isn't that the same version as 4.2.3? And no, nothing reduces my cpu performance, cpu goes in sleep mode it should if screen off and no app needs power. With Obackup i see a wakelock in bbs if scheduled backup runs, with this app not. Don't know if that was a problem, but seems that app didn't wake up the cpu and so needs very,very long to finish backup.
[Android Apps and Games] Cyclu:
When I launch a backup with "Quick Backup" it don't use my default backup settings, I need to use "Custom Backup"

Just for info what's that the new file "dedupe" in system/bin and in sdcard/onandroid?
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
dedupe is a tool used to help make nandroid backups in CWM v6.x style also know as CWM Incremental style.
[Android Apps and Games] Cyclu:
Thanks for the explanation! You have a solution for my "Quick Backup" problem?

Edit: I attached two recovery logs, one executed with the quick and second with the custom backup. I hope, that can help you.
[Android Apps and Games] IberianPrince:
I've been using this app for a long while now, firstly with an S4, now with a HTC One.

It's now with my HTC that I'm having a problem. I'm trying to restore a backup using twrp, I've used 2.6.3.3 and 2.6.3.0, both will restore boot then signal a red failed message.

I've checked md5 sums, everything appears okay.

I have no idea why it's failing, but I'm hoping there's someone here reading that could throw some knowledge my way. I can only assume it's a problem with how the app is backing it up, but I never had this problem on the S4 with cwm recovery.

Any help is appreciated, from readers or developer.

What happens afterwards? Does it stop the backup process?
[Android Apps and Games] IberianPrince:
To be honest, I had to cancel the process because it was taking too long. But clearly something isn't right...

I have everything available on my device for things to run smoothly, a near to stock rom, stock kernel, rooted with S-off. But when it comes to running these backups, either of the apps, it will either hang on a backup with the above message, or twrp fails the restore process after installing boot.img ?

New version of the app released!

Version 4.2.4

* Fixed user reported bugs.

* Added ability to set custom name of backup as build display id string.

* Time for scheduled backup is now displayed in 12 or 24 hour format depending on your system preferences.

* Default partitions can now be set in default settings for selective backups.

New version will be visible in the play store soon or it can be downloaded in the first post!

Try a clean install of the app with this new version to see if that fixes the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] IberianPrince:
I decided to go a different route and do a completely fresh Rom install. I left the busybox and root that came pre-installed in the Rom.

I then flashed the latest CWM recovery for HTC One, rebooted, and started an OBackup... All worked well, backup completes in 7 minutes without any errors or faults.

Now I need to try and test reinstalling the backup, see if I still encounter a failed restore. Then to test Online Nandroid and see if their backups fail.

My only conclusion so far is an incompatibility with twrp, seeing as another member posted the same issue earlier.

Have you tried running Orange Backup? It has its own busybox and might help you verify where the actual problem lies. If you need to move files around in /system (such as replacing busybox), you might be able to do so by loading the AROMA File Manager from your CWM recovery boot.

Please make sure you are running version 3.0.7 of the app. If you are, go into the settings, click Select Shell, and select Default Shell.

I've tried playing around with Online Nandroid Backup and Nandroid Manager and both are great, but a real pain in the ass to get working properly - I would have thought that considering they are both developed by the same person that there would be some really good integration. There isn't, at least from my experience so far.

Any backups created with Online Nandroid Backup can't be read by Nandroid Manager for one. Every time I create a backup I need Update Folder Permissions before the latest backup can read. Orange Backup and ROM Manager can see the backups without an issue though.

Any backups I create with Organge Backup or in recovery, Nandroid Manager can read without a problem.

In Orange Backup, if I hit the restore button, it actually open Nandroid Manager and shows me everything that can restored - yet if I open Nandroid Manager directly, no backup can be seen. Something is not right here.

By default, Online Nandroid Manager doesn't put backups in the default CWM backup directory - I've had to specify it (/data/media).

Online Nandroid Backup also wouldn't download the required files it needed over WIFI. I had to turn off WIFI in order for it to download.

Is anyone else having these little issues or is it just me? I've had a fairly average experience with both apps so far where as Orange Backup 'just works'.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Ok, I've given up on these online nandroid backups. There are so many inconsistencies and random stuff happening I just can't be bothered with it at the moment.

It's not as convenient but I'm going back to doing offline backups for now. It has worked for me time and time again and never once have I had an issue. I will check out online backups again some time in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
I can't confirm any of this.... Both apps are running great :)

Btw., there is a thread of the online nandroid script developer:

[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Late reply, I know, but note that if the busybox in Orange Backup works for you, you could extract it (from /data/data/pommedeterresautee.twoborange3/files/busybox) and use that as your systemwide busybox. Obviously, making a good nandroid backup first is advisable.
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
OK, finally got this working perfectly.

Made a backup and restored fine as far as I can tell. Took a little while longer to restore data then usual. It looked as if it had frozen at one point but I let it sit and finally it complete.

One thing I've noticed with nandroid backups is that kept Google music doesn't seem to get backed up. After a full restore, all music needs to be downloaded again. Is there anyway to backup music as part of the nandroid?
[Android Apps and Games] ameer1234567890:
If you could help me test it, I could add this feature to the next version (codenamed shifu) of Online Nandroid script.

This version works as expected, thanks again for the quick fix.
[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
Thx for new version, will test it soon.

With older version sometimes i have some problem with scheduled backup after long deep sleep, described it before in this thread. This problem is adressed with new version, too?

One more question: Now we have possibility to use id string, thats good. But if using custom name like "SlimRom" (i dont like long id string like xx.xxx.x.x..x.xx..x.x..x ;)), its same behavior like before? Means that if using schedule with that retention didn't work while folder exists?

Ideal would be custom name + time string like SlimRom-01-01-2014. Btw, new id naming is ok, app getting better and better.

I just created a backup that was supposedly saved in Android /obb but it's not there. Looked all over for it. I know the backup completed because I see my storage space decrease 2gb.
[Android Apps and Games] rickpub:
Just installed this and manager pro versions today. Have high hopes, but a twrp backup that usually takes 10 to maybe 15 mins max is taking over 2 hours to 2.5 hours... Tried both internal and system busy box. Any thoughts? Backup size shows up as being around 5.3 gb. Seems to breeze through boot to system then bog down on data for hours.

Btw, running a sprint galaxy s4 with Sacs custom rom 5.3.

Edit: just tried a cwm backup. It took about 33 minutes of which 6.5 minutes were the md5. Total size 5.2gb. Screen was on the whole time. Will try twrp again out of curiosity.
[Android Apps and Games] rickpub:
Tried twrp again. Took 5 mins to backup boot, recovery, and system. Canceled backup after 1 hour of it backing up data. At that point total backup size was still under 2 gb.

Forth time insanity...lol. at least yesterday it worked once though it took well over two hours. At least cwm appears to work. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
