What parts of my phone does a Clockwork backup actually back up?

I am pretty sure it doesn't back up the Modem, correct?

Does it back up both the Kernel and the ROM?

Thanks!

Another question: Is doing a Clockwork backup the same thing as doing a "Nandroid" backup?

if not, what is the difference and how do you do a Nandroid backup?

Thanks (again)!

If im not mistaken a CWM backup and nandroid backup are the same thing, and it only backs up the ROM not ther kernel or the modem

One reply says it does backup the kernel as long as it is a non-voodoo kernel.

This seems right since the backup directory holds all the files that is from the kernel.

I am quite sure that on my phone CWM backup (in recovery mode at least) backs up literally everything.
