Thanks. Do i need them to get into recovery mode? Or ROM Manager can do it on its own?

Do you have a habit of answering your own questions? You are correct. Use ROM Manager backup as a failsafe in case you want
/need to jump back to where you left off before flashing the new ROM. It is essentially the same as the NAND backup.

No those files are no longer needed provided you completed all the steps successfully. ROM Manager will boot you into Recovery. So will an app from the Market called Quickboot. Of course there's also the manual way of booting into bootloader and then selecting Recovery but those two apps make that way pointless.

Thanks. Hehe, I am 5 days old in Android world and overwhelmed by choices. Thank you so much for answering my idiotic questions.

One more question. Is ROM Backup different from nandroid backup? To be on safer side when testing a new ROM i should first backup using titanium, then ROM manager and then nandroid. Have i answered my question...lol

Donniezazen good question, I was wondering that my self. I've downloaded both titanium and rom manager but have been waiting to get the specifics on what to do before trying it. I figure Titanium then Rom manager but not sure what boxes to check within the apps. I believe Rom manager serves the same purpose as nanroid, not sure.

I also want to know if Titanium can be used across different ROMs and from 2.1 to 2.2.

IF there's a difference between nand backup and ROM backup I havent found it so I'll say no. I've read that you can take the files from one and put it into the folder of the other so that leads me to believe they are the same.
After flashing a new ROM I'd just pick one nand or ROM Manager backup and Titanium (reasoning explained below). If you were uber-paranoid you COULD run all three but it's not necessary.

Titanium backup--while you can take it ROM to ROM within the same OS version if the ROMs were completely different some data may not transfer well.
You can however use the Titanium backup to carry your apps from 2.1 to 2.1 even if they are vastly different ROM OR from 2.1 to 2.2 (provided they're written for 2.2). While there may be some exceptions, for the most part most of your system data wont transfer from 2.1 to 2.2. Contacts and Calendar backed up via gmail being the exception (without using Titanium)

@Jspecrx7-within Titanium the choice is yours. I'd backup EVERYTHING then when you go to restore you can pick and choose what you want to add back into the new ROM.

I tried about 8 times to root using the "rooting for n00bs" guide, (which is an awseome piece of work, Thanks again!) and I am not new to any of this. I got every error and then some.

This is a good app but if you have 1.47 it most likely wont work fully for you. if you dont get the dreaded main version is older error your all set. if you do get that error pm me I will walk you thru the process as long as you have an hour or so its not very easy
