Nandroid + EXT Backup question

[Guest twe]

Hi guys, was wondering if different size memory cards would make a difference when making a backup via Nandroid + the ext and using that on a 2nd T-Mobile Pulse phone?

I tried this and was getting forced closures all over the place. I even tried the repair ext partition option. Both cards have the same size ext and both ext4. One phone has the original 2gb memory card and the other one has a sandisk 8gb card. I haven't tried using the original 2gb card in the 1st phone yet.

Should I use something else for this instead of Nandroid?

Thanks.

You could copy/paste the files of the ext partition using linux.

Maybe Nandroid stores some information about the FS in the backup too.

Thanks for the reply, is there a Windows alternative? Never used Linux much or have it....

...is there a Windows alternative?

There are ways to mount a linux partition under windows... but i guess its easier to download Damn Small Linux (only 50MB!) and run it from an usb stick.
