If you did a full backup with CWM, it backs it ALL UP!

What parts of my phone does a Clockwork backup actually back up?
I am pretty sure it doesn't back up the Modem, correct?
Does it back up both the Kernel and the ROM?
Thanks!
Another question: Is doing a Clockwork backup the same thing as doing a "Nandroid" backup?
if not, what is the difference and how do you do a Nandroid backup?
Thanks (again)!
If im not mistaken a CWM backup and nandroid backup are the same thing, and it only backs up the ROM not ther kernel or the modem

One reply says it does backup the kernel as long as it is a non-voodoo kernel.
This seems right since the backup directory holds all the files that is from the kernel.
I am quite sure that on my phone CWM backup (in recovery mode at least) backs up literally everything.
I am using clockwork mod touch edition, and I have a full system backup using it. If I decide to flash cm9 to the device and then decide I want to switch back, can I then restore to this backup using cwm? Or do I have to flash to a stock Rom first?

u can restore using the backup u created earlier
Ok so the restore also includes the Rom backup then?
yea, that is the main purpose of recovery
Cool, thanks. Just trying to understand more about what is happening when I do these things. Cheers!
don't forget to wipe cache/dalvik cache. u should be fine
Can anybody tell me how to make a complete backup of rom(stock or custom) including kernal?

you can make a CWM backup and make a flasheable zip with the kernel, just google it, if you are using the latest merruk kernel i can provide for you

Before flashing any rom including Omega you should do a full wipe in recovery for best results.
Omega rom does NOT delete everything from your device, none of the custom roms do that.
Good luck and be sure to wipe before flashing...................

If you wipe it all then all is gone from internal sd.
But you have to full wipe for good result..
You should root the stock rom and backup all user apps with TITANIUM BACKUP and then wipe and flash Omega rom.
After flash you just inatall TITANIUM BACKUP again and restore all from backup...

So I have a twrp backup and I have been playing with different kernels. Now I want to go back to the kernel in my backup. How can I reflash my old kernel without doing a dirty flash? How can I extract it if possible from my backup?

I believe you restore the boot option under TWRP but I'm not 100% on that if someone else could chime in
Yes. boot restore will not affect rom and it is what holds the kernel.
