I tried backing up my efs folder to my sd card using philz recovery but when I do it and then reboot and go to the backup that I made the folder is blank. What is the best way to backup my efs folder?

I managed to back it up with terminal emulator but im not sure how to restore it if I corrupt my imei or anything like that so if anyone knows an easy way to restore it that would help me a lot lol

OK I have 2 backups that I made.
Efs.img
Efs-backup.tar.gz
I know I can restore them using terminal emulator but im just wondering if these were done correctly.

is there any way to manually backup by copying all the apps and user data and restore it when necessary without using the nandroid backup and titanium
You can dump the data partition to sdcard using terminal

could you please elaborate and tell me how to do it
I was wondering... If you do a factory reset in cwm, will it remove the contents of the virtual SD card? I would hope it wouldn't, but want to make sure.
Also wondering if it would erase the contents of the cwm backup folder, since that's been separated out now.

No if you do a factory reset in cwm it wipes only the /data and cache partitions so you can then flash a rom which overwrites /system, so everything but /sdcard gets wiped.
And what about the cwm folder? I haven't heard of it changing.
It's always been /sdcard/clockworkmod/

With the nexus 10, the clockwork mod backup folder is in /mint/shell/emulated/clockworkmod
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

weird, I went to find my clockworkmod folder and it's not in my sdcard. =O
I also can't find "/mint/" maybe you meant /mnt? but even then it's still not there. I did a nandroid backup, but I cannot find the folder.
Mistype, /mnt/
I know that alot of apps can't see that directory, thats "by design" from what i've seen... i'm using ES File Manager, have it set to root permissions, and have it set to up to root, and i'm able to see it there.

So I made a backup using CWM (I am running Paranoid Android 3). If I flash a different ROM, can I use this to restore all of my data? And were are the backup files located? Thanks.
Use titanium backup to restore apps and app data but do not restore system apps or data.
Your cwm nandroids are stored in /data/media/clockworkmod

So does that restore the internal sd card as well?

No. The ONLY way to backup your sdcard is to copy it elsewhere. PC USB otg or something. NONE of the backup utilities actually backup your sdcard

Hey all.
I want to restore a backup i made earlier. But when i try to restore it it says md5 miatch.
I found a f8x for it but for that i need to reach the backup in the cwm folder om my sd. The only problem is. That the cwm folder shows up empty...
I set hidden folder to show and everything
Why is this?
Kind regards

im pretty sure clockworkmod has recently changed the backup directory to /data/clockworkmod/backup/
youre gonna need root to access the folder.
