cant nandroid backup... any reason why?

[two_cents]

I get to the part where it would restore the .android_secure part and it gives me this error this is with 3.0.2.4 and I can properly wipe and such...

"error while making a yaffs2 image of /sdcard/.android_secure"

and this prevents it from making a md5 sum so I basically hve no backups at all, is anyone else having issues with this? I'm going to try and toubleshoot back to 3.0.2.2 and see if i can get that to back up but if anyone can help it would be appreciated

I can make nandroid backups no problem. Do you use Clockwork recovery?

uh... your intelligence exceeds you

as for OP, I would try, if you haven't, in rom manager, hitting menu, delete cache, then menu again, settings, delete recovery, then reflash 2.4 and see if you can backup then.

I have uninstalled 2.4 installed 2.2... same thing.. all while delete recovery every flash... still nothing... not being able to nandroid means having to start from scratch if I get a loop... I dont know when this started to happen but my past weeks nandorids are all screwed up... and I deleted the 1 nandroid I had that worked cause I thought the newer one was good

ok to anyone having this issue it seems to be a problem with my sd card... I plugged my sd card into my computer via a card reader and the "there may be errors on this storage device" came up... I did a nandroid with my 2g sd card just fine so it not an error with CWM atleast...

scanning for errors on my computer brought up a bunch of errors within .android_secure and corrected them and now I can backup... it said the errors are from removing the sdcard while its being written... how can we do that when its under the battery? and I only did a battery pull when I got a ten minute hang on bamf 1.2...

hope this will help someone if they get the same error
