How To Backup / Restore ROM on CWM Recovery

Backup ROM, how important?

As always reminded to you when flashing mods or ROMs, you are the only one responsible for anything you have done on your android device. Tweaking a stock android software corresponds the risk from which you are the only one to decide whether to take the risk and continue or not.

For a knowledgeable android user, taking risk is normal. Why? Because they have already prepared for anything worst to happen, they could easily fix anything and redo the process. As long as the user prepared a ROM backup of his own device, he can fix most any android issues and problems that may possibly occur on his device after making some changes or tweaking it.
