You were saying in a previous thread that you got a bunch of errors after installing busybox in /system/bin instead of /system/xbin . Could you share those errors?

- Thread starter thatsupnow

Yes, it seems to have worked. Check if you have backup in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder.Is this work for me,then. What the next iv should to do
What you did, which made it work?
Maybe it just don't work for cdma?? That sucks you keep getting the same error over and over

Oops, I thought I read SD-ext in the list of areas to backup in OP. Well then, it seems everything is working perfect for me with this. Great work.
But it would be great to backup the SD-ext since the XPlay has such a small internal memory and many users have a partition. Edit** Is there a way to send just an SD-ext instead of just the whole backup? Thanks.

Exactly what I was thinking. You know how you can copy a file while it is being written to? I believe it is being copied to the SD card, then converted to img.

after a restore all my apps were gone and because it didnt backup sd-ext all my apps went straight to internal and on top of that i cant even SEE any of my apps!!! nothing got backed up but the rom??????? and and and app storage but no apps????? back to the old fashioned way
thankyou for being a smarta$$. this mod is useless to me atleast but to others who dont mind manually restore sd-ext then whatever. its a good mod though. and i did see the op not mentioning the sd-ext but i got so excited that i didnt really take that in.
If you can send me a previous backup of your sd-ext, I can work on adding that functionality.
Oops again,lol, I just looked in the clockworkmod/backups folder again and saw that the ext4.tar is separate from rest of backup. Should I just pm u a dropbox link or send another way? The file is about 28mbs.

17Hey there guys I came across this useful tool today when I was poking around the ARC section it lets you make a nandroid without having to boot into recovery. This isnt my work Im simply passing it on so I hope he doesnt care too much about me posting this here.
***ALL crdeit goes to ameer1234567890***
Nandroid backups are usually performed in recovery mode. This means you would have to turn off your phone and reboot in recovery mode, which wastes a whole lot of time rebooting and a lot more time offline. For me, this has been a killer as I do regular nandroid backups. Having to reboot in recovery and finding missed calls, sms from my wife and friends is totally not accepatable for me. So, I set to develop an online nandroid backup tool which can do nandroid backups without switching off my phone.
Today, I am releasing it to public, as it may serve good for some others too. This tool is specifically for Xperia phones, but should work with any model of android phones.
This tool backups /system , /data , /cache & .android_secure partiotions to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory. The date format used for folder name is the same used by CWM itself and nandroid backups created with this tool can safely be restored using CWM. If you would want to have a custom name for backup folder, pass an argument with the name to the script and it will use the name.
Feedback (especially ideas to improve) are most welcome.
Requirements
1. Rooted android phone
2. A terminal emulator installed on phone
3. Busybox
4. A working CWM based recovery installed
5. Some patience
Installation
1. Download and copy zip file to SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Choose install zip from SD card, select zip and flash .
4. Reboot!
Usage
1. Open terminal emulator
2. Type su to obtain root
3. Type onandroid
4. Wait and watch

As usual Im not responsible if your phone explodes, catches fire, etc, etc so please read everything and try not to post stupid questions like " does this really work?" cause it wont be answered. I wouldnt of bothered posting this here if it didnt work. Have fun guys!!1
This tool (prior to v3) does not backup sd-ext partition. In the first post, you can see what the tool backups.I tried to do a restore from the online nandroid backup I made and even though it said "restore complete" my SD-ext(4) partition would not load its shortcuts and widgets. The funny part is link2sd didn't even detect any SD-ext as if it wasn't backed up. I thought it said that it backed up SD-ext during online backup, but not sure. I'm wondering if it might help to factory restore before restoring backup. I may try that to see and I'll report back if noone reports similar problem.
Edit**During backup I was not doing anything else with phone other then watching the amazing online backup screen. Also I tried to "re-create mount scripts" but never got option from link2sd even after reboot.
