GSCHUCK asked this in another thread, didn't see a reply and would like to know something about this myself so I copied the post and am asking here. Thank You.
gschuck>"Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this. We talk a lot here about doing nandroid backups. Heck, I've done them myself and restored from them. My question is which flavor of backup should I be doing and why? With thunderc, whe have Nand backup, Nand backup + .android_secure, Nand + ext backup, and Nand _ ext backup + .android_secure.
I have not set up an ext partition so I assume I can ignore that. I have moved applications to sdcard so I am guessing I need .android_secure. Thus I have been doing Nand backup + .android_secure.
Is this thinking correct? Should I be doing something else? Under what circumstances would you just take a nand backup? Only if you never move any apps to the sdcard?
Thanks in advance for shedding some light on this. "
