porkbrains (nice, btw ),

Apologies...I had a reply formatted for you and thought I had submitted it...

Unfortunately, I think you have lost your stuff... I don't really know the total ins and out of the Nandroid backup and restore, but I can't understand why it would have reported as successful and created those zero-byte files (I do/would believe that the last function of the backup would be to create the nandroid.md5 to calculate and the MD5 sums of the other files in it--very strange that it and the data.img would be zero bytes in size).

I'll try to dig around some this weekend and look at the backup scripts in more detail to see exactly what it is that they check and do at what points...didn't think we'd need a Nandroid backup checker/verifier, but maybe we do. I'm actually working on something along those lines anyway, so maybe I can whip-up an app that will do this...

Sorry that happened to you...
