Titanium Backup.
Restoring the data partition could cause ROM problems, like FCs, and stuff that doesn't worn properly.

I have installed minicm6 1.0. 2 with cwm Recovery
How can install the backup that i made
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Hmm how did you backup your files? did you used apps? If you backup using xrecovery,im sad to that if you flash your backup you will wipe minicm as well and returned back to your older rom.
I flashed a file and I'm trying do a nandroid backup but every time i tried i get this
.android_secure.img not found skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
Restoring cache.
Complete
Whats going on and can it be fixed?

It looks like you're trying to do a restore, not a backup. CWM goes through several items to try and restore. If one of those items isn't there, in this case .android_secure, it is skipped. What's the problem? Does the rest of the restore not work? The only other thing in there is the cache. There should also be system, data, boot, etc.
Got my Nexus Thursday so rooted and flashed recovery (twrp) Friday and did a nandroid in prep to flash aosp ROM but when I went looking for the file I noticed its in /data/media/tarp/backups as opposed to /sdcard/tarp/backups. Is there a way to change the directory? I created the backups folder under the trwrp on the sdcard but the backup didn't save there where I did a 2nd nandroid as a test. Do I need to fix permissions or anything?

/sdcard is a link to /data/media. They are three same file.
Just make sure you use the latest version in TWRP as it properly handles the changes in directories introduced in 4.2.

Cool. I downloaded the image from the twrp site and installed via adb so it should be correct. I guess I can install Goo Manager and make sure its up to date. I was concerned that if I wipe /data before a restore that I'll delete the nandroid.

Note that in TWRP a factory reset will format /data EXCLUDING /data/media. This means it won't wipe your /sdcard.

Yes. to prevent any issues it is advised to wipe all data before flashing. One of the things you learn to deal with when flashing custom roms.

You'll want to wipe your data partition when you flash between ROMs. You can use Titanium Backup to backup your user apps before you flash CM (it might be a good idea to copy the TitaniumBackup folder off of your phone after you've made the backup if you aren't familiar with flashing or wiping, if you wipe the internal SD you're backups will be deleted!). Once you've flashed CM you can download Titanium Backup from the market and restore from your backup.
While you can backup/restore system apps as well you'll get weird results between ROMs (which usually results in wiping and starting over again anyway), so my advice is to only restore system apps/data when flashing the same ROM.
Your virtual SD card will not be wiped.

Hi, I wanted to restore my 4.3 stock rom nandroid backup in CWM, but the recovery says there is an md5 mismatch, so I cant restore the backup. What can I do to restore the backup? I am currently on kitkat nexus 5 port.

Search on Google for the error, there are some fixes but in the worst case you'll be unable to restore it at all
