Root Cant make CWM backup. Problem backing up /data image?

[Rob_i_Am00]

Im trying to make a backup. Im using simplicity rom with most recent kernel. But i get most of the way thru a backup and get an error saying could not copy /data image. Any fix for this besides reformatting the sdcard?

Might it simply be a free space issue?

There is plenty of space. From what I've gathered so far the only fix is to reformat

yeah... seems like it. try using titanium backup to back up all your apps. and whatever else you feel you need to save. then factory reset (clean to install new ROM). (if you just format /data, it will format the internal sdcard as well.) wait... if you do that it formats your /system partition as well.. guess you'd have to reflash your ROM as well. man... i wish we had twrp... and i wish I had the knowledge to do it myself... ugh.

Just wanted to say i eventually figured out my "Low storage" notification, as well as the not being able to backup /data in recovery. I had to reformat the ext-sd(sdcard0 i think). It started being corrupt badd. I couldn't even install a couple apps without low memory. And i had the Simplicity ROM on my sdcard1 so i just rebooted into recovery. Formatted the internalSD thats built into the phone then immediately flashed Simplicity ROM while i was still in recovery. It installed and rebooted and it was fine. Just a heads up as i was passing by the forums
