Hi,

If you want to back up your sd card,take it out,put it in a card reader,and make a copy of it on your pc/laptop.

The backup you made in CWM/4EXT has to be saved somewhere.
It cannot make a copy of the place it is going to be saved. :rolleyes:

:)

The only partitions you will have from a full NANdroid backup will be the following:

Boot
System
Data
Cache
.android_secure

The only other information that might not get backed up would be the Dalvik Cache, which is reinitialized every time you start the device. Your applications that are moved to the SD card are backed up in the /data partition backup, not anywhere else. The only data that gets backed up FROM your SD card is .android_secure, which is a special folder Android keeps important stuff for apps in, but your apps truly are in the Data backup.
