That usually happens because there is not enough room on the SD card. try deleting some stuff and try again.
it ran for about 20 seconds and did the same thing
This is the generic error message from nandroid, make sure you haven't manually changed any file/folder names on your sd card. Also, ensure you have space on your SD card. I am getting the same message because it is not liking my ext partition, which I suspect is because it doesn't like ext4.
I think i renamed the file or deleted it and made a new one
is there a way i could make a folder and make it work
I knew someone that was having this problem. He ended up switching out his sdcards and it started working...Also which recovery and version are you using?

Make a new nandroid with what you got loaded right now, then move your old one into that folder and you're good to go. I had the same issue when I got a replacement hero and this did the trick for me

Hello,
I would appreciate ANY help on this matter. Yesterday i had no choice but to hard reset my phone. I always backup my phone every night, and thought (at the time) thank god! However, when i went into my sd card and clicked on the .exe file to restore the backup....it came up with an error message saying:
"The file Backup.exe cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Isnt this type of file meant to self restore without the original program....seeing as i dont have the copy of sprite backup after hard resetting?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
If it helps the version of sprite backup i had before everything went haywire was Sprite Backup, HTC edition V6.2.3, Build 2330 (my paranoia makes me write these type of things down elsewhere)
THANKYOU again!
as far as i experience backup procedure
hi..
.. as far as i have experience ....sprite backup procedure ( there might be alternatives ...that i am not aware of but..) on my kaizer... for past 2 yrs and now ..blackstone..(hd ) you can only restore backup through sprite program..(installed on storage card or from sprite progam that should also be installed automatic with original installation on pc..?)i have found that i could also not click on.. backup .exe directly with stylus (i wanted to move .exe to another file...as it would freeze phone..but had to do it with pc...(cut and paste..etc..)i had to also ,when doing restores in the past ..open sprite program and select restore from within ....etc...
thus..i suggest..
if you do not have software any more on phone...is it not possible to get copy and re install it again ..and then try to do restore... selecting your original.exe you still have on sd card ...( i have done this once or twice ..and it worked for me ..but also .. failed a few times ..!! why i dont know...?)
...also as a safety measure i would copy backup.exe to pc.(temporary also.)..and work from there..?
what about checking sprite website mabe for clues or answers...??
hope it works for you..
good luck..
unfortunately i went to their website and downloaded the latest and only version they have which is higher than my old one and it could still not read the backup file. It must only work for the version i originally had.
Thank you anyway

Hey dude,
I know the feeling, I think I may have the same version at home so will check it after work and send it
Easy Guide for Backup and Restore using ClockWorkMod Recovery
Advanced Restore of Data for installing after a Rom upgrade
Very detailed with Pictures You can follow
I love the fact I can reliably and precisely backup and restore a ROM flashed through CWR. It will backup every minute detail and restore it back to the exact condition it was in at backup...not even a single icon missing or different. Even the exact point in a song that was playing when the ROM shut down and I backed it up is restored. And I have been doing these a lot without a hitch.
I like to check out new and other ROMs and I'll backup my current ROM and then do Task 29 and flash the new ROM. I take the backed-up ROM, which is saved on the SD card in one single, specifically named, folder and archive it on my PC. Then I flash the new ROM. If I like that new ROM, I back it up and save the backup on my PC. If I don't like it, I do Task 29, reinstall magldr and the specific recovery file for the backed-up ROM and then copy the archived backup back to the SD card and flash it. Super simple and it puts it back like it never was removed. It's a helluva lot better than Titanium Backup. CWR backup is more akin to a Star Trek transporter where it puts it back exactly like it was before...lol...And it has been so perfectly reliable. Not even a hiccup has been noticed and I've done it a bunch of times.

Hi,
Great idea.
However,people being people,and noobs being noobs,you might want to change picture 11 on MS WORD sheet to "restore"and "restore" rather than "restore"and "backup".
Thanks man... its a life saver!
Thanks but this doesn't help me I get how to do this part, what I don't get is after installing my NAND Custom ROM, I can't access the AD Recovery to actually get into clock work mod, just says not found! How can I get round this please? I have searched and previously have tried flashing CWM but I LOST THE ORIGINAL ROM I wanted to backup DOH!! Thanks in advance for any help.
Thanks this is very useful.

They're stored in a folder on your SD card. If I'm not mistaken it's /clockworkmod/backup
Hello everyone. I have been testin a rom called miui, and now I found it great and I am going to keep it. The problem is that the test I made were with a borrowed 16GB SD card, and now I would like to replace it with my definitive 16 GB class 6 SD card. How can I do this without having to reinstall and configure everything?
This procedure seems to be the right one, but I have a question, does it save everything you have in your SD card?, if this is afirmative, then I have a problem, because I won´t have enough space in the SD to make the backup file.. what can you recomend me to do?.
Best regards and thank you very much for all your support
Hi Everyone, as the title suggest this is about manually backing up your data from installed apps
Theres nothing complicated about it but it is a bit time consuming to start with, ive tried this on several programs, using the following process,
Back up the data,
Uninstalling the program,
Restart,
Install the program,
Running the program to confirm the previous data had gone,
Put the backup back in place,
Finally running the program again to confirm the old data was back.
first things first, you will need windows phone device manager
http://www.touchxperience.com/
now, use the file explorer and navigate to your "Applications\data folder
within here you will find everything you have installed listed as numbers and letters
the time consuming part is trying to work out what is what. The folder your looking for within each folder is called "IsolatedStore" that contains everything as far as i can see for that app
Simply transfer that folder to your PC,
To use it again, simply install the app, then copy the backup back overwriting whats there.
Cache and History dont seem to copy but ive not found an issue as yet with this
Ive not tried this after a full reset
Ive not looked for a way of doing this with SMS messages, i doubt it will be in the same location but its possible i suppose if you can find it
anyhow, I might just give NoDo a try now that i can "backup" my important data
was also thinking that perhaps this could be intigrated in to windows phone device manager, ive tried installing and removing an app several times and its always used the same folder name, i dont know if this is the case across devices, but if it is, potentially a database could be used... just a thought
OR!
just wait for the new version of windows phone device manager
which ive just been told will contain a back up utility!
i think it will hit beta users soon-ish
backing up sms etc seems to be a big obstacle to people using WP7 full time.
Hope this is included.

yeah that is a pain, ive been searching all damn night to see if i can find where they are but so far nothing, im guessing its within some protected area or within one of the DB files which cant be copied off.
wheres the pst files when you need them, MS have always managed to hide them in odd places
anyhow, perhaps im missing something, if not, then maybe sms backup will not be apart of his program because im buggered if i can find the things!.
SMS backup
Sorry to bump this thread but I thought I would add a link to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16490860&postcount=29 where you can backup SMS.
Just for completeness!
Is there a way to backup system and then restore it back after coming back from Android.
I really like WP7 but like switching back to android to try some new android nand roms/apps etc but was wondering if it was possible to restore system back to 7720 with all aps without having to go through all the updates again etc?
I noticed backup option in the cab sender but assumed this is just for apps/settings?
As far as I know, zune has already made some backups (before every update) and you'll maybe able to restore it after flashing the rom...
But I would suggest you a dual boot if you often want to try new android roms... Much easier this way than constant flashing of wp7...

So I can restore straight back to 7720 via Zune without going through steps of separate updates?
Yes dual boot is an option but you cant use Android "roms" when dual booting, You can only boot "builds". It would be good for trying out Android apps but I like trying out new Android nand roms.
Ill re-flash to Android and see how I get on next time I want WP7

The backup option does restore apps, settings texts etc. but needs a ROM in NAND to backup to, and is fussy about partition size. So I would remove any partition, then backup and send a partition and storage unlock your card, before going to nandroid.
Because you know your SD works. you can do the one shot and leave your phone for a couple of hours (and give people grief for wrong postings), then restore. then setup any partition.
when all is running good, do another backup just in case.
you thanked me prematurely!
To remove a partition, a hard reset is required,
I've just tried it so thats no good.
so you would think that you have to set up a partition first, then backup, then storage unlock, then nandroid, then flash rom, then upgrade via cabs, then set up same partition, then restore.
But there seems to be only the latest restore available, and when Zune upgrades, it creates a restore point, so may overwrite our backup. This may explain fussyness.
Anyway, I am testing this ATM.
The backup is stored in C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\d28adbc9 - aeb87692 - 70440b17 - bbf75b0f\RestorePoint, and is a file named something like 432F7761-9CC0-4CB0-BF3B-E9E6C0198BCD.
It is overwritten on zune update and cab sender backup. I have copied the backup file from the last time I was on BTTF mango, but am still unable to restore it(errors 801812E0 in Zune and "can't restore phone" in cab sender restore).
I am thinking it is either the partition (Although the different size error is absent)or the fact that it is a new ROM (therefore a new phone) that makes the restore impossible.
There also is another file in the folder called activeID.DAT
I don't know what this is but its presence or absence has no effect on my inability to restore, although it wasn't there when I made the backup from the last ROM.
I am putting this info out in the hope that someone can find a way to do what Microsoft has patently failed to do.
Edit; thanks lantern20, I am on Windows 7
On WinXP it's located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update

Robbie P - any progress with testing?
Does restore work from a clean install + partition (to original size), before allowing Zune to do any updates? If so that would be hugely helpful.

See my post after the one you quoted.
The problem is that after updating the ROM, a hard reset is needed to apply the developer/chevron unlock (therefore you lose all data). Hard reset is also needed to apply or remove any partition.
Finding where the backup is stored on your computer helps to stop the file being overwritten by zune but I have not been able to restore.
It may be that you can only restore to the same set-up (flashing), as each new flash may set up the memory uniquely.
I will be changing my software radio next week to 5.61 (and therefore the ROM arrgh!), so will give it all another go then.

Great - really interested to know whether you can flash from scratch, send the same partition cab as before, hard reset to activate and then successfully restore to get straight back to 7720 (without using Zune at all). I will watch this space.
was there any follow up on this?
is it possible to 'image' the nand with wp7, try Android (or even another wp7) and then restore the image back again?
i had no problem transfering the wp7 special partition from card to card so that part would be ok.
Hi,
I got a phone for development with rom version kh2, and now i had to give it back. So i bought an used omnia 7 and now i want to transfer the backup of the first device to the new. The new have a rom KI4.
I modified all the guids in the zune backup and recalculated the sha1 hash on the manifest file. The zune restarted the phone, did something in the backround which took a lot of time and then without restoration, restarted the phone again. Nothing happend.
Is somebody now why?

Sorry but I don't think you can move backups between phones. Something to do with encryption I think...
Unless somebody can prove me wrong?..
Also, why do you want to put the backup on the new one?
Because im lazy to install everything again, and i have game stats on the backup.
I actually did that a while back.. After I got a replacement phone from Samsung. Go to the folder where the backups are stored, note that if you copy the backup there and connect your new phone and launch zune the backup will be deleted, so copy it there after doing that. Press update in the settings menu in zune, and select restore. Its a few moths since I did that, and they might have done something with the new phone in order to make it work, but it might be worth a try.
Could someone elaborate a bit more about what files to change?
Thanks

If you download the mango development beta manual, you will find out where the backups are stored on your hard drive.
I know where the files are. I'm just wondering if there is a difference between Mac and Windows as i have a directory (named with the guid?) and (depending on backup size) several hundred files in it.
The manifest seems to be missing tho...
