is there any way to manually backup by copying all the apps and user data and restore it when necessary without using the nandroid backup and titanium
You can dump the data partition to sdcard using terminal

Can u be a little more specific?
Titanium backup works awesome for backups if you have root,if not then you will have to do a directory crawl with a pc and back up that way.

i upgraded my rom (paranoid android) and it has android 4.2 on it. but with multiuser support, the sd card contents got redirected somewhere else, but it didnt take my files with it. so now none of my apps see my files. i need to know how to get them into a readable place.
You should have done a backup with titanium before installing the new rom,then you could have reinstalled titanium and restored appa and data.The multiuser file system is a pita,install your apps from playstore and then find the directories they hold their data and transfer it manually.Time consuming but unless you have a nandroid of you 4.1 that you could install to do a titanium backup on thats the way to go.

I made a nandroid already. My apps aren't the problem. I only need to get to my old sd card contents. That has my app backups from rom toolbox.
So you need to move your rom toolbox backup from your old sd to your new backup location so it can restore?
You will have to use a file manager or pc to copy paste from old location to the new one ,finding the new one might be a pain but I believe the old one should be sdcard/romtoolbox folder.

I figured out where everything was. My old sd card stuff was under "mnt/shell/emulated" while the new sd card was under "/sdcard". kind of a pain trying to find it.
Good to know.
Cheers

I was wondering... If you do a factory reset in cwm, will it remove the contents of the virtual SD card? I would hope it wouldn't, but want to make sure.
Also wondering if it would erase the contents of the cwm backup folder, since that's been separated out now.

No if you do a factory reset in cwm it wipes only the /data and cache partitions so you can then flash a rom which overwrites /system, so everything but /sdcard gets wiped.
And what about the cwm folder? I haven't heard of it changing.
It's always been /sdcard/clockworkmod/

With the nexus 10, the clockwork mod backup folder is in /mint/shell/emulated/clockworkmod
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

weird, I went to find my clockworkmod folder and it's not in my sdcard. =O
I also can't find "/mint/" maybe you meant /mnt? but even then it's still not there. I did a nandroid backup, but I cannot find the folder.
Mistype, /mnt/
I know that alot of apps can't see that directory, thats "by design" from what i've seen... i'm using ES File Manager, have it set to root permissions, and have it set to up to root, and i'm able to see it there.

So I made a backup using CWM (I am running Paranoid Android 3). If I flash a different ROM, can I use this to restore all of my data? And were are the backup files located? Thanks.
Use titanium backup to restore apps and app data but do not restore system apps or data.
Your cwm nandroids are stored in /data/media/clockworkmod

So does that restore the internal sd card as well?

No. The ONLY way to backup your sdcard is to copy it elsewhere. PC USB otg or something. NONE of the backup utilities actually backup your sdcard

I tried backing up my efs folder to my sd card using philz recovery but when I do it and then reboot and go to the backup that I made the folder is blank. What is the best way to backup my efs folder?

I managed to back it up with terminal emulator but im not sure how to restore it if I corrupt my imei or anything like that so if anyone knows an easy way to restore it that would help me a lot lol

OK I have 2 backups that I made.
Efs.img
Efs-backup.tar.gz
I know I can restore them using terminal emulator but im just wondering if these were done correctly.
