As someone that provides tech support for drives, I absolutely agree with you. Don't take risks with backups!  

On the other hand, I like having the latest version of everything, like experimenting and have titanium backup and a backup to my computer to fall back on.

Do as I say - not as I do

I'll do pretty much everything with everything but that one thing is crucial, always have a backup.

I can't tell you how many disclaimers i've written and how many people who have still complained because they failed to check their backup before doing something stupid.

I agree with you though, i'll try the latest but i'm also not a great keeper of old stuff so if i use a backup tool i will remove old backups before trying to restore (since i use the great work of the various devs on this forum, why would i need to restore?) and this is why the backup tool itself ALWAYS has to be flawless.

BTW, running the V6 supercharger doesn't do much more than wreak havoc on your memory management in ICS and assure you'll have minfree left even when you want it.

I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. (used with recommended settings)

You know, this diff based backup is really neat for those of us who try out multiple roms.  Atm I have backups of CM7 and CM9 and they are 1.6gb each.
In CWM6 there's a common folder shared between the backups of 1.3gb and each backup is 0.3gb each

I'm saving 1.3gb of sd card space per backup beyond the first one!

did somebody test this recent build of touch recovery created yesterday
is it working?

[targetbsp]

I doubt it because it says on the builder site that touch recovery needs an ICS kernel.

so cmw 6.0.0.7 work well with backup, restore and other stuff?
i don't trust in touch recovery, so i want to use the last stable without touch
i read cmw 6 series are more fast e make smaller backup
some can link me a flashble zip?
sorry i don't remember well, install flashable zip from cmw like a rom, right?

[targetbsp]

I dunno... the 6 series has had some bugs.  I'd want the latest version myself and 6.0.0.7 is out of date now.

ok , but the touch version has some bug? or works well with all roms?

[targetbsp]

Works well with all phone gens and revisions as far as I know.  The rom you're using shouldn't matter.

[Loki86]

thanks man, last thing
can in flash the zip file in cmw like a normal rom right? i don't remeber very well

[targetbsp]

One of the downloads lets you do that, yeah.

There's a regular 6.0.1.2 in my signature. I haven't noticed/heard of any issues.

Thanks KonstaT, by the way i have already installed touch version and works like a charm
do my backup and now i want to try your jb rom, so i ask more in the right topic

[elrond_bs]

Sorry KonstaT, but your CWM6 version (6.0.1.2) doesn't work for me.
I keep getting: "Error while making a backup image of /sd-ext!". I'm with ext2 (Link2SD), Swedish Snow RLS7 (I posted my "recovery.log" in zip, if it makes any difference).
I had CWM4 and had no problems with backing up and restoring sd-ext.

EDIT: It seems it might be a problem on my end, 'cos I tried CWM5 and CWM6-touch with the same result. I'll check my old CWM4 and investigate further.
EDIT2: Yes, CWM v4.0.1.5 works for me (as it did before), I guess I'll stick with it. Strange, I have nothing that should cause this problem, I have 1GB ext2 with ab. 300MB free.

Also I have downloaded CWM 5.5.0.4 from your post #56.
Does it support SD card partitioning ?
