Is it possible for me to rename the backup that I create using the Droid 2 Bootstrap. It lists only dates now but I would like call them Apex, ginderbread, etc.... I looked under file manager but I could not find the droid 2 bootstrap files.

Thanks
Josh

Ok I did this and now when I try to restore my backup it says checking MD5 sums and then MD5 mismatch. Did I do something wrong.

Did you put any spaces in the file name?

Also are you going to backup and restore in bootsrapper and clicking restore? You can't flash it like a ROM or theme.

I've had this problem before but thought it was just a corrupt backup. I guess I need to go in and rename my files without any spaces this time! :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, spaces (or any other shell command's special characters) will "break" the ability of the MD5 check when restoring a Nandroid backup since the whole pathname of the nandroid.md5 file is passed as a parameter to the md5sum command. If the name is broken-up with a space or otherwise shell-interpreted character, the md5sum utility can't see the name of the nandroid.md5 file and will report an error.

Cheers!
