Since this app is now unsupported, the answer is probably NO, but if you're lucky enough to still manage to create usable backups with it, you can certainly upload those backups to dropbox "manually".

Nandroid in Recovery

My online search about backing up may android tablet have all indicated that the Recovery mode backup on tablet/phone is not a complete backup, that it only include apps and data. Is that information false? My understanding is that a Nandroid backup includes "everything" (i.e., apps, data, system, etc). Is that also false?

One final question: will Online Nandroid Backup save to an sd card or will it only save to the cloud?

I know that these are probably elementary questions but I am new at this.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
First, since you haven't posted much before, a reminder that it's considered very bad form to quote the entire OP.

However, the main issue is that this app has been effectively

unsupported

for quite a while and it's creator hasn't even logged in for several month. While it still seems to work for some users, it might be unwise to rely on it for any recent device or OS version.

Basic backup of user apps and data can be accomplished in a number of ways, even with a simple file manager, but that's hardly a full backup and won't help recover any kernel, modem, or system information.

From most any recovery, you can perform a full nandroid backup that includes everything needed to restore all the relevant partitions. If your device supports it, the backups can be created in either internal or external storage. For ultimate flexibility, consider a custom recovery such as TWRP, but even stock recoveries should be able to perform basic nandroid backlup/restore functions.

For specific details, I suggest you browse your device's area here on XDA.
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
3 nandroids failed to be restored while using CM 12.1.

Really, this is an abandonware now. Not recommended to new users.
[Android Apps and Games] WillyJo:
I hope that I am not being a nuisance or violating boundaries here with my questions. I could not find any forum on my particular device.

My understanding is that in order to use CMW or TWRP to create a recovery you have have a custom recovery available. I have not been able to find a custom or a stock recovery for my device (Ramos i9s Android Game). So, does that essentially make it impossible to do a nandroid (complete img file) of my tablet? If there is some way I can make an img file of my complete system could you direct me to where I might learn how to do this?

Thank you for any assistance you may provide.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
This is clearly unrelated to ONB issues, but CWM an TWRP are two common types of custom recoveries from which you can run backups and perform various other functions. How to install a custom recovery (assuming one even exists) is device-dependent.

I did find

one small thread

here on XDA dealing with your tablet. You may want to post there instead and discuss options with other Ramos users. I found a few potentially useful links (mostly Chinese) from a Google search but didn't investigate further.

If your device has at least a basic builtin stock recovery, it probably offers the ability to save/restore backups, possibly with some key combination at boot time. Someone mentions that it can be rooted, suggesting that you might be able to use alternative backup schemes, but I'm afraid that's way past my limited knowledge of your device, sorry... ;)

I too used to rely on this app when my phone was unlockable.

Hi

I've post also in the official onandroid thread about asking for my device support, but as I've installed the Play Store version, I've been asked to send my device infos by the email form as also the app doesn't have my device specs in the list.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime LTE-A SM-G906K.

Please tell me how to use this app.

Ps: the Play Store app is v4.4.5 while here on Xda I can only see v4.4.4...and o Play Store the version it's not PRO.

Is the one here PRO??

Tnx.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
As mentioned countless times, this application, which much pre-dates the release of your device, is no longer supported. The same applies to the original onandroid script. See my reply to you in that thread.

[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Keep in mind that [MENTION=4535362]H3R3T1C[/MENTION] hasn't visited this forum in months and that his apps are

effectively unsupported

nowadays, unfortunately. His Nandroid Manager has

a thread of it own

, but without logs, it'll be anybody's guess even if other members are still actively monitoring that thread. One thing you can try is uninstall the app then reinstall it, or at least clear its cache and data in case something got corrupted.

Patch Files

If [MENTION=4535362]H3R3T1C[/MENTION] has not visited for months is there still a method to get patch files uploaded for new devices? I have an Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 which the app identifies as an "idol3" however when I browse the list of patch files I do not see an entry. I've attached some code from a backup script that identifies the partitions for my device. Failing anything else is there a place I can download a patch file, edit myself and add it to MY copy?

[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
As pointed out to you several times already in this thread, this ONB application is effectively unsupported and there's a very good possibility that the backup to which you refer is simply NOT usable to restore your device.

If dialing "*#06#" shows a null IMEI, search how to get into "Field Test Mode" for your particular Note 3 variant and you might be able to solve both the IMEI and network connection issues but this is not the place to get into all those details. I suggest you pursue the matter in the Note 3 Forum where you apparently already made a related post at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62456557#post62456557. The experts there might be able to help you fix your device.

Next time, please please make a proper full Nandroid Backup from a custom recovery (preferably TWRP) and make sure you can restore from that backup before attempting any major changes.

Good Luck!

Nandroid upload to something other than gdrive root folder?

Hi! Apologies in case this was answered before. How can I define a different folder than 'root' in my gdrive for nandroid uploads? when I tap in that area, nothing happens. I need to select a folder, as otherwise all connected clients would always download these huge files and I can't unselect root folder. Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Since this app is effectively unsupported, the wisest approaches would be to either upload manually to the specific Drive location you want or move the backup within Google Drive after it has been uploaded. Remember to first check that the backups you make with ONB are actually usable, since a successful backup completion report doesn't imply that it's suitable for a full restore!
[Android Apps and Games] KiamRehorces:
Thanks! This makes a lot of sense. I followed your advice and am manually syncing/moving the stuff via foldersync app instead. Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] razzledazzle83:
Hi,

I'm having problems copying the backup folder created with this app to my computer. I'm using an Xperia Z1 Compact (D5503), KitKat 4.4.4 (14.4.A.0.157 fw), rooted, unlocked bootloader. Installed the device patch and selected TWRP as the default backup type. Save location is /sdcard, but I've also tried /storage/emulated and /data/media with the same result. When I connect my phone to my computer and open internal storage/TWRP/Backup/random figures/ it doesn't show me the backup folder but on my phone I can see it being there clear as day. I made a backup with TWRP previously and was able to copy that backup to my computer without any problems. The save location for this backup is data/media/0/TWRP/Backup/random figures/ while the save location for backup created with Onandroid is data/media/TWRP/Backup/random figure/ without /0/ inbetween but both backups show up in the same folder (?). I still would like to use this app though because with TWRP backup I cannot select /boot and /recovery to be backed up as well.

And whilst backing up it tells me that /recovery could not be found and is being skipped but I have XZDualRecovery installed. What does that mean?

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Since, as mentioned countless times,

this application is effectively unsupported

, relying on it for backups lies somewhere between brave and foolish. Please PLEASE make sure that the backups you make with it can be fully restored.

I'm not familiar enough with your device to help much, but I suspect that you have symlinks between the two location references you mention. Ideally it would be best to use the actual physical location ("/mnt/sdcard/"?) to the partition you want.

I wasn't aware of an official TWRP version for the "amami" Z1, but you should investigate why your TWRP is apparently misbehaving, especially since you'll need TWRP to restore. Unless you have a dependable TWRP recovery, any backup attempt is pointless. Alternatively you could see if there is a reasonably recent Philz_Touch version for you but that too is unsupported nowadays.

Worse case scenario would be that you can only use TWRP backups (from recovery, not through ONB) for system, data, and cache, while relying on Flashify or a similar tool to occasionally backup your boot/kernel and recovery partitions.
[Android Apps and Games] razzledazzle83:
Well, I tried mnt/sdcard as well. Same sh*t different toilette. When I plug my phone to my computer it doesn't show up in any folder.

The TWRP version I'm using is provided by XZDualrecovery explicitly for the Z1c. Although it is not supported by the devs on their site it clearly states that it can be compiled to run on any Android device and that the only reason they are not supporting every device is because they just can't afford it.

I did a backup, backing up Kernel Image, data, system etc. Although I couldn't select /boot it was still backed up, only thing that wasn't backed up was /recovery. I then flashed CM 12 just to check it out and was left with only CWMR, so I had to flash XZDualRecovery trough CWMR again and then could use TRWP to restore my backed up system as if nothing was changed. So basically it works fine. Except for backing up /recovery...
[Android Apps and Games] OldBaldy:
TWRP can't back up recovery, because it IS the recovery. Use flashify to back up and restore your recovery.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
TWRP can backup a traditional recovery partition, but which partitions it can access depends on the specific device, and XZDualrecovery is somewhat of an odd animal. Yes, Flashify is often the easiest way to backup/restore the recovery and boot partitions

How to get backups online?

I can get backups done ok but it doesn't upload them to Drive like it's set to do. Also, in Nandroid Manager, on my tablet it keeps giving me an error telling me to choose my Clockwork mod folder, which I keep trying to do but the backup save location keeps saying "unknown". How do I use this app to get a backup online? I'm lost!
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
First, never quote the entire OP, especially when it hasn't been updated in about 1 1/2 years. Then try to read at least the last few posts in a thread: this application is

UNSUPPORTED

and its dev hasn't even visited in months. To answer your "How do I use this app to get a backup online?" question, the answer is YOU SHOULDN"T. If you already have backups made from ONB, do yourself a favor and verify that you can indeed restore from them before you actually have to use them.

I suggest you consider making regular full nandroid backups from your custom recovery (TWRP, preferably). A good usable offline backup is better than a bad useless online backup... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] AnotherTrashStudio:
It's realy useful!
[Android Apps and Games] kmodek:
It won't give me the option to save to my sd card and there isn't enough internal memory for backups, that's why I wanted to try an online upload of my backup...which it has the option of doing but won't actually DO it.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Please understand that ONB is effectively

DEAD

. Even assuming that it's still making backups for you, you MUST check that those backups can be restored since a warning-free backup completion doesn't imply at all that the backup is usable. There is no point in making any kind of nandroid backup anywhere unless those backups can allow you to recover from a system failure when necessary. You'd be much better off simply using your custom recovery to make regular backups. I suggest using TWRP with ROM Manager, a combination that would allow you to have automated unattended backups to your SD card on a regular basis. Those backups will be much faster that any "online" backups scheme and still won't interfere with your use of the phone if you schedule them in the middle of the night. If you want to get fancier, use Tasker or some similar scheduler to upload those backups to a remote location, or do so manually every so often. If you only care about your apps and already have a convenient way to reflash your ROM, then use Titanium Backup (with optional upload to cloud locations). Once again: neither ONB nor the script on which it's based are currently supported.

One more question: I've rooted my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 P5210 and it has TWRP on it but when I go into the settings in TWRP and go to choose my device, the P5210 isn't listed. Any idea which one to choose? I don't have any problems with my tablet and I used Odin to root so I'm not really sure when/how in the process I got TWRP, but I'm afraid to use it since my tablet isn't listed!
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Questions relating to TWRP are best asked in a TWRP thread instead of in this thread about an unsupported app. You may want to search the forums for TWRP versions compatible with your device. For example, I see such a reference at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2442915 (untested). Try making a TWRP backup then restoring from that backup. This is unrelated to the defunct Online Nandroid Backup.... ;)

Worked on my sprint note 5 for data and system, the most important in my opinion. 60 seconds for a 3.7gb backup plus no issues after restoring it.
[Android Apps and Games] ExNihilo01:
I wanted to do a backup of the cache cause I forgot to check it off in TWRP, but it deleted the enormous backup I just made in recovery! I have it set where 2 Nandroid backups can be stored in the device at one time, but there was only one to begin with (the one I made in recovery) so the app should've just saved the cache backup along side it. I'm making a full online backup now, but I was reading some of the play store reviews where people are saying that TWRP doesn't restore from ONB properly anyway, so I'll probably just boot into recovery again and make a real TWRP backup before trying out Xposed, cause I don't trust it. Let's see if this one successfully uploads to my Drive anyway (it didn't last time, but I never needed to restore) , then I can keep it there as a backup of a backup, I guess... :/
[Android Apps and Games] francwalter:

Yes, and onandroid script is developement stopped since a while.

But I found there (onandroid -ah) that I can specify partitions with -a only I don't know how to specify several partitions, so I would specify all without the ext4 partition which would make me my exclude to a invers exclude :)

So knows someone how to specify more than one? Is it with comma saparated?

Thank's
[Android Apps and Games] francwalter:
Now eventually I read partly this thread!

I wondered some months before, that a restore of an onandroid backup of CM12.0 didnt work, now I know!

I had just setup a daily backup with ONB, on my SGS4 with CM12.1, because I bought a big 128 gb sd, but now I will cancel this and will try ROM Manager, TWRP Manager, Flashify or do manual backup in TWRP from time to time.

Good to know, good that I read a bit more backwards in this tread.

EDIT: I tested quickly now the three ROM Manager, TWRP Manager and Flashify and found obviously ROM Manager (Pro) the most suitable. With pro key (5.- Euros!!!) it is able to plan automatically (e.g. 4 am) a backup without bothering, that exactly and only I "need".

The next thing will be to test the restore feature, but I will first add a backup in true TWRP environement to be a bit more sure to restore.
[Android Apps and Games] francwalter:
Now I just checked the restore of ROM Manager and it is working, good!

Also I tested restore of native TWRP backup (in recovery environment) and this also is working!

That's exactly why we suggest that you only use this

[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
What I personally find "strange" is that so many people apparently trust their precious data to unsupported apps and scripts without even bothering to do some basic testing or at least checking what feedback is available in this and related threads. Nothing has changed in this app in ages and even the scripts/patches it relies on (they are NOT coming from this dev!) are only very sporadically updated. For details, consider contacting the devs of this app and the onandroid script directly and see what that have to say, if anything. I doubt that they will buy you a new device if you brick yours! ;)
