Root Backups

[DGarmon]

I was wondering if the BH2 has the capability to use Apps like ROM Manager or Nandroid Backup. I know you have to have Root but didn't know if these apps work. I understand that you must install ClockworkMod Recovery with these apps, but wouldn't this override BH_Man Recovery? I'm currently on Warheads at the moment till Take 5 comes out. I just would like to know if we can successfully create Backup images of our phones (System, Recovery, Cache or Kernel). This would be a really nice feature. I currently use Titanium Backup donate, but it mainly works on apps and such and if I'm changing out between 1.6 no twix and 1.6 Galaxy, I always have some kind of issue with titanium not working right.

Thanks,

as of this point in time, no, the BH2 cannot use Nandroid. unless there is something that has popped up within the past couple of days that i have yet to fall upon.

this is the only way to create a backup as of now... http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-behold-2/54424-creating-custom-roms-backups-odin.html although i see you have read this since you have posted on this thread

you would first have to make a yaffs image of the data / system / cache
split the boot.img ( Kernel / Ramdisk ) but I'm not 100% sure it would work.

But yes, you can make a backup of the Phone using those Methods as well.
