Question about what a nandroid backup actually backs up.

[greydarrah]

I just read in the rootz codename thread that a nandroid backup does not include your radio files. That surprises me. I always thought a nandroid was a complete and total mirror of your device at the time it was made. What else does it not include, or was the dude that said that incorrect?

Radios are separate from the rom/OS image. Nandroid makes a backup of the rom/OS image + your apps (and data). Whatever radios you have now will not change until you change them manually.

It should (presumably). Experiment and find out?

Just to add.. it will not backup your internal storage (SD card)
