Just curious...

Is it possible to have multiple NANDROID backups at once? The only thing I can see that would resemble this is via ROM Manager, where it let's you do multiple backups but I'm not sure if these are NANDROID backups.

It would be cool to have all ROMs installed and as backups, so that it's easier to go from one to another while testing and deciding on which one to use as your daily driver.

I have three different nandroid backups on my SD card currently.

You can have multiple backups in amon ra or clockword. Clockwork/Rom Manager let you rename backups.

Sweet! So you did them straight from Recovery or via ROM Manager?

Yes, that's the beauty of it. Just wipe and restore to any setup you have backed up. However many you want, however different.

Man, how have I lived without doing this! hahahah I guess because I've been living on CM6 ever since the first nightly was released. But I am going to give it a shot too. Thanks.

Yes.

Open up your nand backup file, usually named "nandroid" you will find the last 5 or so backup with date and time used to name the files. The Recovery program may have a limit on how many it keeps at once (i.e. last 5...) However if you're trying to back up specific ROM's you may want to copy and paste these to another area of the SD Card so that they are not overwritten in subsequent backups. You can then move them back (in the event that they are overwritten) to the nandroid folder to restore.

You can use nandroid to make as many backups as you want as long as you have room on your SD card. It is also safe to rename by mounting your SD card and going to the nandroid folder and renaming each one.

Right now I have a Sprint 1.47 rom with root access, a DC 3.2.3 rom and the latest CM6 nightly all as Nandroid backups. Once the official Froyo update comes out and is given root access by someone here I will replace the Sprint 1.47 with that and have those three backups.

I use Amon's recovery and I renamed 4 of my backups a few days ago. They won't restore now, I'm getting the "run from mobile-sh" error
