Okay, so this is a script to backup the nandroids on your phone.
Requirements:
I thought of this as kinda an automated process, so a cronjob.
It seems to be working with both AMON RA and CLOCKWORKMOD recoveries. I sent it off to marc12868 to see if clockwork works with someone who actually *has* clockwork installed [if he says it doesn't work, then i'll fix it]. I just set up a folder to mimic the folder structures. It should work.
If you want to run it each time, which works, then you only need to change the two variables phone and backup. $phone is just where your device is mounted. Mine was /media/0A00-1234 or something like that. $backup is the (you guessed it) backup directory.
Steps
Okay, so if that's your first cronjob, it'll ask you to pick an editor, 2 (default) is fine (nano), but if you're hardcore go with vi
then add this line to it (at the bottom)
Nandroid Backup Script:
I'm sure there are a lot of better ways to do this, but I don't know them. :vroam:
more words
:five:
Requirements:
- Linux (it's a bash script)
- USB mode for your phone

Steps
- Save this script somewhere ($HOME/nandroid.sh)
- grant it execute permissions (chmod +x nandroid.sh)
- either run it (./nandroid.sh) or
- get it working with cron (below)
Code:
crontab -ethen add this line to it (at the bottom)

Well, I tried this several times on my computer and with my phone, seems to work fine. It'll backup the nandroid folder to the backup folder (after tar.gz). It also removes all the contents of the nandroid folder, so you might want to copy one back over (after un tar.gz'ing it)....
but, if it sees that you already have a backup of a nandroid, it won't copy them so - that's nice.
Code:
tar zxvf 2012-04-30.tar.gz
Let me know how it goes. And if you just want to try it, you can skip the cron step and just do it via terminal .... ./backup.sh
I'm still tweaking the one I am working on along with a ton of other things I'm doing.
