Backups

---

I'm running the EOS wifi nightlies and my backups have averaged around 240Mb on my 32Gb card. I've upgraded to a 64Gb card and flashed CM9 to try it, made a backup and it was 3Gb on a new 64Gb card. Wiped dalvik cach, cache partition and wiped data, reflashed nightly 112 and gapps, made a backup and it's still 3Gb more or less. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried all 3 of the good recoveries with just minor differences. Is there a recovery that will let you format the whole partition?

Come on guys, someone must have an idea.

Not sure, but it must have something to do with the size of the card you're using. I had an extra 1Gb card and I put it in the Xoom and did an nandroid and it came out 974Mb opposed to 3Gb on the 64Gb card.

Do you always talk to your self like this?. It should have been, It may be the card (I am) using.

I am aware that sometimes CWM adjusts the size of your backup according to the amount of space a person has left on their microsd card. You might also want to make sure it is not backing up the internal storage of your xoom (aka /sdcard).

It's on /mnt/external1, just larger than expected.
