hi i recently updated from twrp 2.7.1 to 3.0.0 twrp recovery on my xt1022. although i am getting some new options in this version when trying to make nandroid backup.
i am getting these partitions option :
system
data
cache
boot
firmware
efs
i know about all the partitions except firmware. what is that partition there for? should i take its backup too with a normal recovery ? whats its function? also the data partition is very big than before. does it take backup of all the app data on external sd too?
please help any help would be appreciated

Can TWRP recovery create a nandroid backup that's >2GB and restore it successfully ?
I created a nandroid backup with CWM on my gs3 and when I needed to restore it,it failed to restore /data.I searched around for the reason and found out that if one of the ''tars''(which in most cases is /data) is more than 2GB,CWM won't restore it properly.Luckily,I found out that titanium backup got an option to restore apps and data from a nandroid.So the question is:does TWRP recovery has the same problem ?
No. TWRP splits the /data backup into multiple parts and restores it perfectly. Right now it splits into parts of 1GB size each even though it can do 2GB parts (it's mentioned in the changelogs why), but the TWRP team is working on eliminating the 2GB limit entirely. So yeah, it is the better recovery.

So I've finally managed to install a CWM recovery for my spreadtrum phone. Went on to do my first nandroid backup but I noticed near the end of the procedure it said sd-ext partition not found sd-ext not backed up (something to that effect). I know I have an sd-ext partition because I am using link2sd (using fat32 for partitions). My question is what will happen in the event I restore that backup? Will the linked apps in the sd-ext partition need reinstall? Is there any potential problem that may occur if I restore? Thanks in advance.
I knew there have been roms that not only install the rom but also wipe and create all the efs partitions correctly as stock?
Since I installed recovery, all stock partitions all got deleted and it created a cluster-f of a partition table.
I just want this phones storage to operate correctly so I can store music and roms and kernels and have them all appear the same in Android/ Windows/ and CWM...
Any help?
THANKS
TWRP for the OPX brings up the partitions below:
System
Data
Cache
Persist
Boot
Recovery
EFS
I wondered which ones I should be backing up for standard nandroid backups? I used to do System, Data +/- Cache on my OnePlus One. I did EFS once and backed it up externally and on the SD card, but never restored it.
Do we need to backup all partitions every time?
More importantly, do we need to restore all partitions if restoring an older nandroid of the same ROM or one from a different ROM?
Many thanks

All recommended.
You can store your backups on SD card and forget to worry about the sizes.

Hey guys I accidentally wiped some stuff in TWRP and now I need a backup that I do not have, so if someone can backup CUST, DATA ( excl. storage ), OEMINFO, PRODUCT, PRELOAD, PRELOAD IMAGE, VERSION, ODM via TWRP and upload it to AFH or Mega I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
