So I'm having a problem with Nandroid. It seems that every time I try to perform a backup, I get the same message:
Code:
Performing backup..
Error running nandroid backup. Backup not performed.
I even tried re-flashing the recovery, and that did not work either. What's going on?
I had this problem before. Turned out I had too many Nandroid backups saved on the SD card. Try deleting the older ones.

Im running fresh 0.5.3 and have the latest amon recovery, i can do a ext+nandroid backup fine but when i try to restore after i reboot, it gets hung on the
htc screen and will not load. Ive tried several backups and it will not work when restoring. Any ideas?
Make sure you're wiping the data, cache and dalvic before restoring the backup.
Are you sure the backup is getting created?
I know SteelH was posting yesterday about the NAND + EXT backup not even working with amon recovery.
I personally don't even know what it does, but all my backups are just "NAND backups and seem to work fine.
I'm assuming you used Amon_ra to create the backup and you're using Amon_ra to restore?
I created a backup with amon_ra and tried to restore with Clockworkmod and the backup doesn't even show up and vice versa. I found out by trial and error that backups created by clockworkmod have to be restore with clockworkmod and backups created by amon_ra have to be restored with amon_ra.
I don't know if that's the case for everyone, but it sure is for me. I'm running whitslack's 1.47 and Evolution V9.
Back to the Nand+Ext, maybe SteelH has figured it out, maybe send him a pm or search for his posts in the Q&A forum from yesterday.
make sure your batt has enough power
I am fully charged when i nandroid. It creates the backup and restores it but when i reboot it freezes on the htc screen. So this is a bug with the amon recovery image then? It would be nice to be able to backup & restore my ext apps because i use apps2sd. I could use titanium backup but nandroid is faster.
hi !
i ran into a problem and i couldn´t find a working fix(if any) by myself, hope the community can help.
i had an issue with corrupted efs. i was able to restore efs from an older backup i made with twrp - phone is working again.
i then restored my latest backup which is made with the online nandroid backup app.
it restores but all my apps, settings - everything beside custom boot animation is gone.
when i open the backup in the nandroid backup manager manager, i am able to restore apps manually, so they are present in this backup.
in twrp, normally it says "backup completed". this does not happen, at the end of the process the ui resets(teamwin splashscreen showing) but no error is shown.
already wiped, flashed stock rom and twrp again with odin.
thanks for helping

it´s the international 9005, snapdragon.
i use x-note 6.0 rom.
problem solved.
it didn´t have anything to do with the efs corruption.
all online nandroid backups i made were faulty.
tried several things to make it work.
seems like reinstalling busybox finally fixed it.
I made a nandroid backup using TWRP 2.7.0.0 of a CM11 M6 install. When I try to restore it, all the apps show up but there's no data for any of them. They all act as if it's the first time I've run them. Also, all my "Accounts" have disappeared so when it first boots, I've to log into Google & Cyanogenmod again. But system settings and wifi are all there.
What I've tried:
- Tried to update to TWRP 2.7.1.0 and restore again, but no joy.
- I tried to restore the backup I made before I updated to CM11 of a CM10.2 (I think) install and that fails with no error message while restoring /data.
- Restoring app data using Titanium Backup from a nandroid backup. It crashes halfway through, though.
What I'm going to try:
- Restoring again, wiping cache/dalvik, installing same rom + gapps over the restore.
- Restoring app data from the nandroid backup using Nandroid Manager.
- Restoring apps + data from my Titanium Backup backup from about a week ago. It's not up to date so I was hoping to avoid using it.
Any other ideas? What could be causing it?
It looks like this did the trick: - Restoring again, wiping cache/dalvik, installing same rom + gapps over the restore.
I got the advice from this xda thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616143
Now I've to wait and see whether it's stable. Doing a TB backup now. I'll make an ADB one after this one, as well as another nandroid one, though I've had nothing but trouble with the last four-five nandroid backup/restores I've done.
Long story short, I tried to install MultiROM on my Nexus 6P, and it failed. So I tried to restore my backup using TWRP 3.0.2.0, and it keeps failing at exactly 7800MB with the error E:extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255. I have seen posts talking about checking the log when this happens, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that.
What exactly do I need to do to restore my backup?
I guess I should add some detail. I first tried booting to recovery and restoring the backup. The phone rebooted into a boot loop part of the way through the restore process every time I tried that. Then, I tried flashing the phone completely back to the stock image, and then restoring. I got the error 255 above. Then, I tried flashing back to stock completely, wiping Dalvik/cache, and restoring the backup. I still get the same error message. I tried restoring everything except userdata, and the phone reboots part of the way through the restore.
I could easily reroot, reinstall Xposed, and reflash TWRP if for some reason my system backup partition is corrupted. However, I don't want to lose my data partition at all. That was the whole reason I made the backup in the first place.
I'm getting enablefilecrypto_failed error after restoring nand backup in TWRP. Is there any solution? I know I can format data and install any ROM but I need some data from that backup.
How can I at least restore some data like sms, contacts from this backup? It seem Titanium Backup PRO cannot extract anything from it. I can't extract it with 7zip either (I read it somewhere it's probably TWRP's method of packing - f2fs.win000/win001/etc files, with matching sha2 files). Does it mean TWRP incorrectly encrypted this backup or is it incorrectly decrypting while restoring? I didn't get any error while backing up nor restoring (besides above, but that's after not while)
I'm also not sure if I had Magisk in this backup or not (maybe incorrectly uninstalled, which I tried to do apparently and lost device certification after and couldn't use gpay before said bootloop)
Failing to update Magisk was the reason that forced me to restore nandroid backup in the first place. But I'm getting above error even if I try to restore it from MIUI or any other lineageos.
you have backup, so copy it to PC, format data, install ROM and restore backup
My first sentence: "I'm getting enablefilecrypto_failed error after restoring nand backup in TWRP"
Solved it by uninstalling Magisk after restoring backup, even before first reboot
