I'm trying to clear up a confusion in my mind about how to really backup a rooted Nexus 5.
(For privacy reasons I use a firewall, etc. and do not sync with Google or the cloud).
- I know that Titanium Backup will backup all the installed apps and their data.
- I know that a nandroid backup (I use twrp) will backup the android system and apps.
But there seems to be gap here - unless I am mistaken. Over time, most users add new folders in the sdcard for downloads, documents, genealogy, and the like. I tend to think of a nandroid backup as similar to an "image backup" in windows, but I suspect it might not be because the nandroid backup does not backup these newly created folders. Am I correct? Does a nandroid backup these additional sdcard folders? I think most people assume they do, but a friend just told me they do not and he lost a lot of data because of that erroneous assumption. I hope he is wrong!
Does a nandroid backup the system and the entire sdcard - or not? If not, why not? I'm not a programmer but it would seem to be a simple thing to include any additional sdcard folders? What am I missing? Is there a technical reason why a complete backup is not possible in android?
