nandroid questions

[inferno1]

so i understand what it is, and how to create a simple one and restore back to it...

but im not quite clear about making 'Advanced' ones...

when i boot into recovery, i can select backup, then i can select 'Advanced Nandroid Backup'
then i get a few options.... i decided it would be safest to check them all...
(can anyone correct me if i shouldnt be and why?)

after that i name it what i want (i chose the date) and then it creates it... cool

this (i believe) allows me to make multiple nandroids of different ROMs so i can go back to anyone i want, correct?

now heres where i got confused

to restore to a normal nandroid, you select 'simple nandroid restore(latest)'

for advanced i select Advanced Nandroid Restore'


then i get two options and check boxes...

i assume that even if i had selected all the check boxes when performing the backup, i can select which ones i want to include in the restore?

the two options are 'choose backup' and perform restore'

(i havent gone any farther then this)
i assume choose back up lets me search the SD card for the nandroid backup i want to use?

then i would select the perform restore to do it?


(btw, after typing this and reading it over again, it actually makes more sense now )

thanx

Basically speaking:

System is the Application side of a ROM
Boot is the kernel portion of the ROM
Recovery is the Recovery application.
Data is your applications that are installed
Cache is the settings or temporary files
Misc is everything else I guess.

Normally a ROM is only the System and Boot partition.

thanx, so when you perform a normal nandroid back up, which ones does it back up?


i assume the rest of the stuff i said was correct?

thanx
