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?

Hi all
After a hard reset, I made a bad move using x Backup (wrong tab) and ended overwriting my backup file instead of restoring it
The backup file (CompactFlashBackUpPim) is located on the /Storage folder from my XDA. I did not reformat it so it has the original "14 Mb" size.
Since the new file is only 4 bytes long, I guess it could be possible to recover the old one.
Does anyone know of a way to dump the entire contents of the /Storage folder ?
any undelete program for pc will undelete sd cards connected to the pc using a sd card reader
Thanks for your reply Rudegar.
As I mentionned, the file is located in the /Storage folder.
Although it is flash memory, it is built inside the device, and cannot be accessed like a SD card (only access is through activesync).
asked in the title...
when i backup with nandroid.... where exactly is it saving the backup file/s?
cuz i just changed microsd card to 16g... so i wondered if i can still restore or i should mount the old card before...?
ok after searching abit i saw it saves the backup on the sd card...
Normally the files are on the SD-Card in:
clockworkmod\backup
There are subfolders with the made backups.

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
I want to backup an SD-card I have in a phone(my only sandisk card) to try and see how it works to run ROMs from it on my nook. But I would want to make a backup of that SD-card so I can put it back in my phone again. Is it ok just to copy and paste the entire card to a folder on my PC. Or do I have to use some special kind of backup program or write an image?
There would be no need to use any sort of special program since the only files you will be copying off are physical files i.e. photos, videos, music etc. The only time would be necessary to create a full image of a card would be if you wanted to save the information such as boot records and changes to the structure of the card, not just the physical files. But I would always just recreate the card later if I had burnt an .img to it or made it bootable etc.
Copy paste would do just fine in this instance, but if you are copying a large quantity of files, I would recommend looking into the free version of TeraCopy.
Thanks. I was thinking on apps I've transferred to SD as well and maps for navigon. But I will just copy paste the entire card then.
I want to backup SD card content (photos, music, documents, etc.) to computer. What I have tried is directly copying folders using MTP mode and ADB Backup command. Both of them missed some files.
What should be the most reliable method to get all files from SD card to computer? Nandroid won't do because I want to browse and restore only some files later.
Anyone?
