Nandroid comes after rooting. It is on the recovery rom that you will be flashing. Go to the tutorials in the link I have called tips and tricks in my sig. Follow those exactly and then if you have problems go about 4 pages in that's where most are solved. When you boot into recovery there will be an option at the top for a Nandroid backup.

The issue he is talking about is that the instructions forgot to tell you to point to the sdcard, so make sure when you are ready to flash the recovery image, your input looks like this...

Searched, couldn't find, but I know it's out there... how do I save multiple nandroid backups? Not sure which file to ?keep/rename? from the nandroid folder on my sd card.

I just copied the whole nandroid folder. I had wiped and partitioned my SD card but copied that back onto it afterwards and it flashed fine. I guess you can rename the folder whatever you want in the mean time so that you can tell which version it is, but just rename it back to nandroid after you put it back on the card.

so basically each time you backup it will just rewrite over that folder. so as long as I changed the name of the folder, I could even leave it on the SD, and just change the name back when I wanted to flash back to that one. i'll try that.

results* guess not. I renamed the entire folder, then ran a restore expecting a "file not found" error and it went through with the restore. then I made a new backup, it made a new NANDROID folder, and when I restored, I guess it pulled the newest one, as it said. interesting.

guess i can just trust that I always have that original backup sitting on my computer so if it ever gets too bad, its there, no matter how many backups i make.
