I regurlary took nandroid backups on my pc with TWRP (adb backup --twrp) of my phone, one day i needed to restore one and i found out i wasn’t able to, the restore would stop midway and i needed to completely reset my phone…

Probably the corruption could have happened because i originally took the backups on a PC with a Ryzen processor, that’s what i managed to figure out.

Anyway now i wanna make sure to have safe and healthy nandroid backup, is there a way to check this without having to try to restore on an emulator every time?

    How? It’s extremely improbable that AMD’s CPU would be the one to mess with your backups.

    I’ve never done a “nandroid backup”, but assuming it’s a disk image that you got, you could try to do a mount -o loop,ro your_image_file /mnt/some_folder_where_you_want_it_mounted if you have access to a Linux distro.
