HI.

I have Hybrid touch 6.0.2.1 installed, and i liked, it's very cool.
TKs for this.
But when I need to backup all my data i can't recover all, because i use the internal Storage like System data.
And the backup can't read that partition.

It's any think i can do to workaround this?

The next version will have several new options, including one to backup the internal partition.

Thanks for the update, some great new features.

Is there any trick to getting this version to backup internal storage? I've been to Extras and enabled the option but it always says 'backup of internal storage disabled. skipping.'.

Here's a poor pic of the messages...

Odd, its working fine on my local build, maybe i forgot to push something to the repos, hold on

Edit: Pushed all the stuff, tested and working here, re-release should happen in a few minutes. If for some reason it still doesn't work for you, i'm gonna ask you to a few things
Also fixed the backup order so folks that backup emmc don't end up backing up the current nandroid thats taking place.

Edit2: My internal build until its on the OP - http://db.tt/yGhjkgxX

Same problem with that build except the 'backup of internal storage disabled. Skipping' message is now at the top of the log instead of the end. Tried it twice with the same result. Let me know what info you need.

Is it working for anyone else or just failing for me?

Edit: Also, are the 'toggle' options in the Extras menu actually meant to toggle the setting on & off? Because when I use any of them they just enable the setttings and if you use the again you still get the same enabled message, they don't toggle to disabled.

Yeah they are, each option when enable writes a small file to /emmc/clockworkmod/.  Can you check if you have that folder in your internal storage and some of those files? They should be hidden by default. ".backup_internal" or ".restore_internal" is one of them.

You can also enable/disable the option and then go Advanced Options -> Show log and post the results here.

I have the same issue concerning toggling on/off; it seems to only want to toggle it 'on'. (with newest build R4)

Also I found another glitch; when going to delete an old backup, nothing happens. So built-in delete function is not working (for me).

Nevertheless really appreciate your work, keep on the good work Fagulhas!

[Cyda]

I've just looked at the log after selecting the 'toggle enable internal storage' option and it gave the error that the file/folder doesn't exist. I checked the internal storage and there was no clockworkmod folder so I created one manually, tried another backup and it seemed to work fine. After creating the folder manually the toggle function also works. Seems the problem is the folder not being created.

I don't mean to criticise the great work you are doing but wouldn't it be better to store the .backup_internal file etc in the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder with the .default_backup_format file?

I also checked the delete from external sd function and strangely it works fine here.

Edit: Just doing a bit of testing with this and thought I'd test a full restore. So I format /system, /cache, /data and /emmc before restoring the backup (as a way to make sure everything works)... and thats when I realise that I just wiped the preferences from the /emmc partition and can't enable 'restore internal storage' because the clockworkmod folder doesn't exist. I had to do a restore without internal storage and then boot up, create the /emmc/clockworkmod folder and then go back to recovery and then restore the /emmc partition. On the plus side, the restore worked fine.

Thats how originally i was planning to do, store all the preferences at /sdcard BUT that means users with no external sd card were not gonna be able to activate them either. Never occurred to me we could have a problem with the folder not being created, thats why it was failing for all of you and not for me. Cheers for the debugging.

I may just end up choosing another partition for the option files that most don't touch (/cust) if more issues appear.

I might be missing something but isn't that actually a good thing? I mean why would a user with no sdcard need to backup/restore the internal_sd with cwm? And given that they could enable this feature how well is cwm going to handle backing up the internal_sd partition to itself?

The same applies to all the other options Cyda, not just for the emmc backup toggle. All the extra options work by reading the files created by each and activates the code in question. Once they are removed, the options are disabled.
