I'm getting ready to upgrade my wife's A7 to 1.3.
Has anyone been able to use Titanium Backup to backup and restore apps when upgrading to the new Dexter ROM?
TB doesn't seem to see the external sd card.
Here is what I'm wondering: Could you run TB, copy contents of the TB folder to external sd card, wipe tablet and install ROM, install TB, copy contents of folder back to internal card, and restore?
What version do you have? I have TB 3.7.2 free.
Go to "Preferences" / "Backup folder name" and type something like that
/storage/sdcard-disk0/TitaniumBackup
External sdcard mounts to /storage/sdcard-disk0

If I format my SD card and then copy over my files again (just my CW backups, music, pictures, titanim back up folder) and dont copy all the other folders (folders created by apps that were installed and system folders) and then restore from a nandroid backup will everything work correctly or will stuff crash when it looks to the SD card for the folder associated and it's not there? or would it just create a new folder?
I am having issues of slowness on my Acer A500 and I wanted to back it up and do a factory restore. I read the forums and learned Titanium is a preferred backup app. I rooted my tablet and that seemed to work ok. I D/L Titanium ok but when I try to do a backup it says insufficient memory. I then learned that it is trying to backup to internal memory and not the SD card, which has plenty of space. If I try to backup a single app it places it in internal memory.
If I look at Titanium overrview it shows /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup as the backup directory. At the bottom it shows Ext. SD card: 67.0 GB (57.0 GB free).
When I go to Acer settings/ apps / Titanium it shows SD card 0.00B.
If I look at settings / storage/ it shows SD card 53.17 GB available.
So I am stuck, unable to backup and procede with with my planned reset. Any suggestions?

Already set to the SD card. I then deleted the TitaniumBacckup folder in internal memory and when I go to Backup folder location I get a red error message "The current backup location ("/mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup") cannot be accessed.
It has a DETECT! /mnt/sdcard radio box to click on but it only finds internal folders. I clicked on detect the whole device but it does not detect the TitaniumBackup folder on the ext sd card.
I also tried using a 16gb sd card from my mp3 player and that did not work either.
Create the backup folder with yr chosen file explorer. Then open tb and choose search for backup folder.

Hi all;
Have an ATT i337 S4 rooted and I want to upgrade my SD card from 32 to 64Gb. I do have some applications on the sd card. Using Titanium Backup Pro can I do a full backup and restore to the new SD card including applications or do I have to move applications back to phone, do the backup, restore and then move it back apps to the SD card.
Thanks

If you have a pc, move everything to your pc, insert your new sd and move everything from your pc to your new sd.
You can also do this with moving all to the phone memory (make sure to make a folder inside the phone mem to prevent merging)
Even the apps? As long as I could read everywhere the apps won't work by just copying them to PC and Back....
Hi,
Just tested here using Titanium Backup normal. It successfully backed up and restored an app that was installed in my sdcard. App was also reinstalled in sdcard.
By the way, in PC you will be able to backup internal and external sdcard only! Those folders like /data, where your apps actually are, won't be able to be backed up.

I have just updated my Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) to Android 5.0 using Odin 3.10.6 in these two days.
After upgrading to Android 5.0, I found that Titanium Backup cannot backup to External SD, and it said the External SD is not writable.
I have also tried some other backup apps, they also cannot access to External SD.
As I know that in Android 5.0, apps can already access to External SD...and I have tried SDFix, which cannot fix the problem.
Any idea what happen? What can I do to allow Titanium Backup to get access to the External SD?

TB pro backs up my 5-0 to ext SD.
Try formatting your ext sd card .

I'm having the same problem and I don't think it's with the ext SD card, I'm pretty sure it's with TB.
I used the TWRP app to fix it.
I think custom ROM is the only solution.
Above answer is 100% wrong .
i used dr ketans sd fix it worked for me ,,might have to reboot after and rescan folder or make a titanium backup folder in ex sd
Need to be rooted. Modify platform.xml Here the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20869996&postcount=7
so i opted for the 16gb moto pure and am now getting no available storage when trying to download a app in the play store. After looking into what is taking up all my space it seems twrp is 4.25 gigs. Is there anyway to have that on the sd card? I have never had this problem on older phones that were 16gigs with a sd card.
When you're in TWRP and doing a backup (Nandroid), there is the option that says "Storage: Internal Storage". If you click on that, you can change it to your external SD card. In the mean time, you can copy the backup folder from your device storage to your external storage. If there isn't a folder called TWRP yet, you can make it (or cut & paste the entire TWRP folder on your device to the SD card). Or you can just do a new Nandroid and see how it works. It usually takes a few minutes longer to backup to your SD card compared to your internal storage.
Normally, pre backup, your TWRP folder should be VERY small.
You can change your storage when flashing ROMs or apps, depending on where you've stored them... Also, if you ever restore a backup and freak out because you can't find it, make sure you have the proper storage selected.

I hadn't used TWRP in ages. I got my phone yesterday and inadvertently backed up to my internal card. I went back in and then saw the option to choose my external card. I ran another backup to the external card and I was amazed that the backup took less time going to my external card than it did to my internal card. I don't mean a little faster, it was quite faster. You would think the internal would be much faster.
