In theory you just need to change backup serial numer to be the same as yours

Yes, I had done this to my old opo 16gb backup to my new 64 GB and also my moto osprey backup to my friend's osprey with no problem.
First mack one backup folder for TWRP by doing nandroid backup in TWRP, then put your backup files in that folder , then reboot to TWRP and restore.

Hey all,
I recently backed up my G1 using Nandroid and wiped my phone clear. I don't want to restore to my backup, but I was curious how to open the files it creates on the SD card.
Basically, what I want to do is nab some data that Shazam saved (some song IDs) but I don't want to restore to the image. Any ideas?
Nevermind Just created a new backup of the fresh install and swapped over to the old one, got the info I needed and flashed back.
Hello
Perhaps a silly question, but are the nandroid files that are stored in the nandroid folder on the SD-card, the only files that nandroid needs to put back a back up?
I want to perform a second backup without loosing my first backup (taken just after rooting).
Thank you in advance,
Erwin
You can perform as many backups as you like
Each backup has a different name, do not overwrite the previous
Thank you both for your responses!
So I ca assume it is safe to store the nandroid backup files on my computer in order to save space on my SD-card?

Yeah 10char
Could someone please explain what nandroid is.

Hello,
nandroid is a backup tool. It is run from recovery mode, and makes a copy of the internal memory of the phone and saves it on the SD-card. It can also backup the apps installed on the SD-card in the same manner. It is often used when flashing new roms to the phone, since it provides a means to fully restore the phone to the previous state.

So if i did a nandroid back up on my phone it would back up everything onto my sd card and then restore it to its original state (ie nothing).

Yes, the nandroid image on the SD card is an exact copy of the relevant parts of the phones internal storage, so when doing a restore everything will be back as it were before. If, however, you have apps installed on the SD card using Froyos apps2sd (which stores the applications on the ordinary fat32 partition of the SD card) those applications is not backed up. Nandroid includes functionality for backing up apps installed on a ext partition, though.
Personally I use Titanium backup to backup applications when I'm changing ROMs.
Br,
Henrik
Does Nandroid overwite previously made backups, or will it make a new backup every time? In case of the latter, can you choose from recovery wich backup you want to restore?
(Before I flashed my Hero, I made a Nandroidbackup of the original ROM. I don't want risk loosing this backup when I make another Nandroidbackup.)
I think it overwrites, but i'm not sure.
No, it doesn't overwrite the old backups. You can choose which image to restore.

Tanks for your reply!
I am ready to switch from my 'old' xt907 to my 'new' xt907. both are on stock KK 183.46.10, rooted, unlocked, with TWRP 2710.
to have an exact carbon copy i figure i will need to :
1) copy my OS with all my hacks, exploits, tweaks, etc
2) copy all my applications with their appdata etc
to accomplish (1) i have used TWRP to create a backup of all 4 partitions.
is this enough? all i have to do is flash/recover it on the new phone?
to accomplish (2) will Titanium Backup do the job? can this even work or am i dreaming?
will i be able to also backup my Xposed framework apps?
and then what? i just copy the backups to the TiBu folder on the new phone and restore?
TIA
follow-up
how should i save my apps/appdata? do i
1) backup in TiBu and then create the system backup in TWRP and use that an i'm done? or
2) backup in TiBu and take those backup files and copy them to TiBu on the new device after it is restored with TWRP, then restore the app data with TiBu?
If you have twrp on both all I did was make a twrp back up to external SD then copy whatever I wanted from internal storage from device A.... Then restored the back up on device B... Your app data and all will be restored

A TWRP backup? Put it on the root of an SD card, insert it in the phone, start TWRP and restore from the SD card.
Actually I just dragged it in to the pc...now though it have quite 1 or 2gb size...it is showing empty...I think I forgot to follow ADB fastboot pull push command..if still possible to restore then it would be great...

Sorry, I have no idea what you are saying...
If you backed up your TWRP directory (XXX storage/TWRP/BACKUP), copy it back to the "new" TWRP directory on the device... it is not a single file, you need the whole backup directory for your device to restore.
When I took backup of boot efs persist...then I copied it in my pc...and formatted Moto g5 plus...but now since I have that backup file in pc I copied it in mobile ..then I tried to restore but it is not showing there... although it has stock persist boot efs inside that file...my question is how can I restore it...

You have to put it back in the TWRP/BACKUP folder
