When I did the backup, I had booted ReiNX previously, and also I had installed and removed a homebrew NSP. Can I get banned if I use this nand to play online with emunand? In case it isn´t clean is there something I can do to make it clean?

If you had done any CFW prior to doing a NAND backup, then your NAND backup is not clean. You will most likely get banned if you play online.

What about PegaSwitch? Iam on 3.0.0 and have been since I got my switch, have only used PegaSwitch to access HBmenu and retroarch.

Is my NAND clean?

I remember reading it’s better to use Hekate for clean back up vs sx os backup , does the sx os back up make it not clean?

Didn't know about SX OS because it's closed source, the Hekate backup are clean and don't leave any traces, are a 1:1 copy of your nand, so yes, I think that on this case Hekate are most safe than other tools.

On my experience, I always use Hekate as bootloader and nand backup/restore, no problems and no bans for more than one year.

If you've never taken your switch online you can make a fresh clean nand backup using choidejour PC version

Alright Hetake it is, last thing, what exactly should be backed up? When I did my switch a while back I only did the boot01/00 I think it was, now I'm doing a back up for a second switch and following a guide here and he's backing up quite a few other things on top of that.

I've been running EmuNAND on the first switch since it released for sx os with no issues so I'm curious what really needs to be backed up

If you used only your emunand for the CFW and homebrew your Switch are clean, don't need backup and restore nothing then, I'm talking on times before emuMMC get relased, to switch between OFW and CFW, I should backup and restore my nand whole time to secure that are clean before go online.

Anyways, you should have always a full raw nand backup of your Switch, if your Switch get softbricked, you can fix it with the backup of your sysnand.

If you only have boot0 and boot1 then you're missing the whole nand backup. Dont try and restore those file because they wont work unless you also restore a raw nand backup that was made at the same time.

yeah my mistake , I have that as well. Also just went and did the back up on the second switch with hekate and have the boot0/1 and the rawnand.bin dump. Are these the only things needed? I know once a nand is dirtied it can’t be clean so trying to be diligent before setting up sx emmunand.
