I'm not sure why this happens but I cannot use OnlineNandroid to create TWRP backups that are recoverable using TWRP recovery system. For example, I backed-up my tablet's system and data partitions with OnlineNandroid and did the same with TWRP (from recovery), this is what I ended up with each method:

TWRP

system.ext4.win (508 MB)
data.ext4.win000 (1.47 GB)
data.ext4.win001 (805 MB)

OnlineNandroid v9.51

system.ext4.win (507 MB)
data.ext4.win000 (1.02 GB)
data.ext4.win001 (1.16 GB)
data.ext4.win002 (30.0 MB)

TWRPs backed-up partition data is correctly restored while OnlineNandroid isn't.
Also, the contents of those archives are totally different. TWRP recovery system creates a data structure with AndroidManifest.xml, resources.arsc file, res and META-INF folder, etc... while OnlineNandroid structure is the raw folder/file structure from the partition.

Does this problem only occur with some devices?
And why is TWRP recovery system able to make "perfect" backups and OnlineNandroid isn't?
I'll gladly help with testing.

Do you use device encryption? Would you be able to share a TWRP backup file with me?

No, I don't use any encryption (aside from the unlock pattern). I can share a TWRP backup with you, no problem. Probably later today I'll be able to upload it and send you an e-mail with the link. Thanks for your time. (sorry for the different username)

I'm not sure what happened since last time I used onandroid but this time I'm getting an error while backing up the data partition:
Backing up /data.../system/bin/onandroid[1838]: /system/xbin/busybox: Argument list too long

Does this issue still persist with v9.51?
