I have the 2nd issue. When I wake up, the app was still running and it started at 4.00 AM. If I go to Nandroid manager, the backup only has ~2 GB instead 3.X-4 GB, so I think it didn't finish. If you ask me to open the app, I just can't: clicking on the notification does nothing.

In first instance, I thought it was my fault because I own a Galaxy S2 and made a repartition of the internal storage (5 GB for data!), but it's strange because quick backup and backup in recovery are working.
[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
Sometimes i got this too, if i turn screen on then it finishes normally, so it seems that sometimes app doesnt wake up cpu from sleep so that backup is very slow and needs hours.
[Android Apps and Games] erik07:
in the latest version (4.2.4), .android secure is not saving even though the log after every backup says it did save (reached a 100%). had same issue with 4.2.3. so now the latest stable version for me is 4.2.2. can we figure out the problem here? thanks. :)

[MENTION=4535362]H3R3T1C[/MENTION]

i need help... i did two backups with this tool, one yesterday, one today, set to TWRP backup.

tried restoring it and it restores just fine, but after boot there is still no data back.

now look what i found in the backup (tar) files:

data.ext4.win000 -> folder structure missing '/data', everything in root directory

data.ext4.win001 -> folder structure right

data.ext4.win002 -> folder structure missing '/data', everything in root directory

i can also see this in the recovered file system. all files which belong to /data/data are stored in /data

so i need to find a way to either fix the files or extract everything directly without loosing the permissions and stuff..

-update: alright, i solved it by extracting the tars via recovery shell in the right directories and fixing permissions... but this could be a serious bug in this app, just wanted to let you now.
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
Sorry for the late reply guys. Been very busy with work and getting ready for school. I'm working on bug fixes for the app now. Expect a new beta soon!

The new version will use Partial Wakelock to hopefuly fix the problem of backups taking hours to complete when doing a scheduled backup.

Is backup retention policy set to be enforced before or after the backup has completed?

Can you send me the backup log by clicking View backup log and hitting the share button in the action bar after a nandroid backup has completed?

Try changing the used busybox by going into settings, clicking on Busybox, and selecting use busybox provided by system.

The reason that there is a missing /data in two of the backups is because the files are a split archive of data.ext4.win. I think the reason it did not restore data correctly is because data.ext4.win001 should of been the first one restored instead of data.ext4.win000.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I tried both before and after, same result, nothing was deleted. I will send the backup later.

Hi.

I have an s4 running danvdh 4.4.2 ge rom.

I restored a backup yesterday, and the rom does not load at all, but rebooting constantly takes me back into philz recovery each time.

This happened on every backup I restored that this script made.

I restored a backup made by philz and this worked fine, the rom booted up as normal.

I'm using default backup options except I backup to external sdcard. I'm wondering if there is another option I need to tweak or if I need to install a patch?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Log attached, I hope you find something.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
A few things you can check.

Does your backup have the boot and recovery partition included, and does the "system/partlayout4nandroid" file exists on your phone.

If not you need to flash the device patch either from the app by selecting the correct device or download it from here and flash

And remember that it needs to be flashed after every ROM flash, or you can use scripts to save and restore it at ROM flash (but thats something I don't have to explain to you ;))
[Android Apps and Games] hawkerpaul:
Yes it backs up both boot and recovery.

However I don't have that file in system.

Thanks mate I'll try the patch again
[Android Apps and Games] hawkerpaul:
I found out the problem...I was using the wrong patch.

I'm on a GE rom, and when downloading the patch it defaults to gt-i9505g, and understandably so.

However, this just causes constant reboots into recovery after restoring a backup.

I downloaded the gt-i9505 patch instead and this works perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
An understandable mistake, good you found the source of the problem.

And thanks for the update.
[Android Apps and Games] hawkerpaul:
Thank you mate, for pointing in the right direction.

I have an EVO 3d with 4ext

Previously offline backup on rc5 recovery - 2.7 GB

Online nandroid , v4.2.4 9.20 - 2.7 GB

Now with rc6 recovery - 2.7 GB

Online nandroid, v4.2.4, 9.20 - 1.1 GB

I'm afraid the backup might not work, as it might have missing data (due to size difference!)

all options set to FULL backup clock work

No incremental or specific partitions

i think its missing some data partitions (the big ones)

goodmorning I have a trouble I did a nandorid with online nandroid backu (4,7gb) and with orange backup (6,2gb). I compared the log and with online nandroid there is not the android.secure partition. I tried to backup only this partition but it is only 4kb:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] jcsy:
i think we both are facing the same problem.

missing a partition completely from backup (identifable by the size difference)
[Android Apps and Games] brotbuexe:
Thanks for the app.

I use stickmount and a external usb stick via otg as backup target.

Can you please add a directory browser to select the storage target?

On my N5 and N7 (4.4.2) Stickmount mounts to /data/media/0/usbStorage/sda

Aside this all looks fine. I just didn't try a restore yet, really have to do it before I need it and it does not work...

Possible Bug with CyanogenMod 11 Nightly

Hello, first off your app is boss, I believe in this app of yours. But i'm experiencing this problem with CM 11 Nightly and Aokp. I was able to backup my stock android that was jellybean and restore it just fine. I decided to backup these two other roms. They happened to be Aokp and of course CM 11 Nightly, and were both 4.4.2 KitKat. Went through without no error during two backups with Online Nandroid Backup. And I went to check to see if my new backups were there in ClockworkMod Recovery, and they were not there, only the stock one. Please correct this if in wrong subject of forum. :silly::silly::silly::eek::eek::eek::rolleyes::rolleyes::crying::crying::crying:

I would appreciate any help soon! Thanks, DJ.

[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
As stated before for me app seems to lack a wakelock, so scheduled backups run for some hours or never finish. Now i switched to twrp based recovery and used twrp backup, but for this schedule is absolutely unusable, hangs and never finishes, folder is blocked and i couldn't delete it, need to go in recovery for that. Anything new from developer? Payed for this great app and want to use it, but till now i have to use obackup for scheduled backups...
[Android Apps and Games] ratson:
if I select TWRP as backup format the data partition takes hours to backup while with CM option it happens in a few minutes. the slow only starts when /data is processed. what could be the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
/data normally is the biggest partition, and if you set the use of compression it will take longer....

CM backup generally is bit faster. But maybe you have similar problem like me, backup running fast but only if screen on and manually.
[Android Apps and Games] ratson:
could you please give us an option to have the percentage progress instead of the dots?
[Android Apps and Games] ratson:
cm backup happens in like 6 mins, TWRP goes fast for recovery and system partitions (like 3-4MB/sec) and /data is slow as hell (1-2KB/sec) so there must be something broken with TWRP backups.
[Android Apps and Games] lokitooxd:
The best app for backup :D
[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
Hmm, maybe some corruption with data partition? Have you tried to use efsck script for that? Dont have this problem here, for me its just slow if scheduled....
[Android Apps and Games] ratson:
the time consuming part is to list file names in ...\tmp\list0 it seems like a list of all the files in the data partition, which builds up really slow... after the list is complete the partition is backed up with proper speed.
[Android Apps and Games] paour:
I tried changing the settings (shell, busybox) in an attempt to get a correct backup, but every time I make a backup, only a few files and directories are backed up.

Root is detected and used (SuperSU), and I can see in the root log that the backup runs without obvious errors, but it just doesn't back up everything (20mb out of almost 8gb). And what it backs up changes a bit too.

I'm on CM 10.2 on i9300 and using cwm dedup backup mode.

Edit: here's the log, such as it is:

The same thing is happening to me but with TWRP on my 4.3 Stock rooted note 2. It is the US Cellular Sch-R950 which it automatically detects and I have flashed the correct partlayout4nandroid. It seems to restore my nandroid fine but then it reboots back into twrp. If I flash a different kernel it will boot to stock rooted rom but it is fresh like I just took it out of the box.

Didn't see that post before, but did i miss something? Couldn't find a new beta to test.... And as i stated before, it seems that not only a partial wakelock can fix that, as with charger phone didn't go into deepsleep and it should work or am i wrong?

Btw, no panic, just asking while that post was bit older ;)

completly changed the way i backup now, amazing app, very powerful backup, bought both apps to get the pro features AND to support this project, so damn convinient, having a MIRROR backup, especially if your a tweaker and a flasher.......also found out about the amazing incremental backup alternative to the normal bckup, through this app, quicker, and smaller...after the initial bckup, dont know how i did without

Brilliant app:good:
[Android Apps and Games] NAZUnlimited:
Great app. It deserves 5stars.

But one suggestion, in custom backup, at selecting the partitions we want to backup, it could appear just the partitions layout of the phone (just like in the patch) and not a global partitions list of multiple phones.

[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
Thx for the new version, setting wakelock seems to be a good idea, but it doesn't resolve my problem. Tested it, but again backup process stucks and doesn't come to an end.

I can't manually stop process, i can't see content of twrp folder, filemanager stucks while reading. I have to reboot phone, after that there i a folder xxxsx_old, which i can delete.

Manual backup works as it should. If i use Orange Backup all runs fine, scheduled backups works, so i think its not phone or config specific...

Edit: Tested without twrp compression, that try was successful....bit weird as manual backup with compression works normal, needs more time but thats quite normal...

I would appreciate if anyone could please help me figure out what is going on with TWRP backups on my XT1060 Moto X DE. Everything works fine on my Nexus 7 2013, and CWM backups work fine on both devices. For some reason though TWRP backup will keep going and creating data.f2fs.win files until my SD runs out of space. Whether there is 7GB left or 20GB, that is the size the backup will come out to within 190MB of being completely out of storage.

The first attached picture is a TWRP backup from recovery, the next three are a singlle backup done in Online Nandroid.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] nihilista:
Lets quote myself ;)

I said twrp backup without comp (scheduled) works, but it did only once. This morning same thing ever, backup has started (scheduled at 8:00) and at 11:00 not finished. Twrp folder blocked, rebooted, deleted new backup folder (which was empty). So maybe its problem with retention, but as i said before, if i start backup manually all is fine....yesterday i restored a backup and all works.

Now i will look for schedule with obackup, but i remember it allways works, so what is the difference between 2 apps that do the same and use same script? Is there any log for scheduled action and where can i find it ? Maybe that could help?

I have a T-Mobile Note 3. I just installed TWRP 2.6.3.10. The application will not back up if it's set to /sdcard (internal storage). It works if I set it to my external SD card but /data is taking forever to back up. I also have a Nexus 7 2013 with this app and TWRP 2.6.3.1 installed. Back ups happen on that device in only a matter of seconds.

Should I just use CWM?

EDIT: Switched over to CWM and it only took 3 minutes to back up. Going to test to see if it actually has data. Don't know why TWRP 2.6.3.1 works but 2.6.3.10 doesn't.

Nandroid Backup Restoring

I understand a rooted device is required, though not a custom recovery to use Nandroid Backup, but what about restoring...do I need a custom recovery to restore a Nandroid Backup image?
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
Yes, of course a recovery is needed if you whish to restore a whole backup.

m.
[Android Apps and Games] cableghost:
Thanks [MENTION=4662107]meduza2[/MENTION].

To be clear...a Nandroid Backup image can only be restored using a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, correct?

Is it also correct that I need an unlocked bootloader to install a custom recovery? I ask because though my phone is rooted, the bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked, and I also wish to keep my stock recovery for updates, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
Yes, the recoverys you mentioned are correct! Usualy the boot loader should be unlocked but it depends on your device. For my mobile it was`t necessary for example.

What to do the all the blobs dirs&files?

I have 19.6GB blobs on my N7100 with 20GB sdcard so it's almost full with blobs dirs&files.

I make a daily CWM incramental backup with Clockworkmod backup type to my mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/clockworkmod/backup

But with every backup I get the same daily dirs at the mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/clockworkmod/blobs

I deleted some old backups with Nandroid Manager Pro but the blobs dirs/files remain on my sdcard.

I also use TWRP recovery almost every day to update the n7100-NIGHTLY Omni 4.4.2 rom version on my Phone.

How do I remove clockworkmod blobs without losing my recovery options? Must I switch to the TWRP Backup type?
[Android Apps and Games] laughingT:
You can set the default backup format to tar, (or tar.z if you prefer compression). You are using the dup format which leaves the blobs. The theory is it saves time and space to use dup. I didn't find it made much difference to stay with tar- I complete a full tar backup in 4 minutes.

ONB pro uses dup for incremental backups. (Hey, BTW, the app mispells incremental). Do full cwm backups in tar format, and delete the stray blobs from your storage.

If you do the backup with cwm from recovery, there is a menu option to clean up unused data. That should remove any blobs not used in the recent backup.
[Android Apps and Games] laughingT:
Scratch my earlier comments. Xda mobile app wont let me edit right now.

If you stop doing incremental backups, but full cwm, you wont get blobs and can delete earlier blobs, once you have a full tar backup. You can limit number of backups to keep. Mine is at 4 and that takes about 7 GB on my card, less if I compress them.
[Android Apps and Games] Ancientsthe:
Switch from incremental backup to full (3.4 GB) backup. Lost the blobs files but not the restore and my space is normal again. Backup only took 17 minutes. Thanks!
