Backup best options

**kaiser10123** · 08-01-2012, 11:41 PM

I am returning my nexus 7 8gb for replace and wonder can I do a nan backup then load that on replacement after I unlock and root it. I am running custom ROM and kernel. Or would I just need to do a titanium backup and restore that after kernel and ROM are installed on replacement

A nandroid will work just as long as you use the same recovery as the backup was created on. If you wanted some added insurance, a titanium backup wouldn't be a bad idea to do also just in case.

Nan backup still works. You still have "external" storage that isn't erased through the process. Most tablets are like that. I don't even use an sd card with mine even though it is an option...Just haven't really needed it. Don't even use it for recovery or backups

I'll just have to back rest to computer like my manga and videos because I am returning device and get replacement later as don't want that 200$ hold so won't have old tablet when I load up new one

You can do that, or you can Nan backup and transfer file to pc...either way
