1. Does zips for flashing made for CWM recovery compatible with TWRP and vice versa?
2. When i made backup (with TWRP) and try to copy him to computer windows explorer cant see him (even with hidden files turned on)
But when i look over FTPDroid i can see backup files and able to copy them.
Why ?

1- Yes if the zip has CWM-File.zip
It is STILL compatible with TWRP
2 - What file type is the backup?
PS - I LOVE THE FACT YOU CALL YOUR BACKUP A HIM !!

TWRP recovery
.Win is actually a backup filetype, but never seen it in terms of Android.
I would try to make a backup with TiBackup or ROM Toolbox or MyBackup
Try one of those and the filetype output should be a correct backup format.

I could not find mine either.
Some people said its in media > data > clockworkmod
What i did was go back to recovery, select back up options and then chose delete.
That deleted them manually.
You should try that.

Thanks guys, the only way I managed to do so is from the Recovery itself under Delete options, nothing found in my file manager, or even a root explorer

Right, this is very weird...
I made a Nandroid backup (compressed) on TWRP for this first time, it completed successfully and then I powered off and turned the Nexus 4 back on. However to my surprise, I could not find the backup on my SD card. I checked everywhere (data/media...TWRP folder...etc). I even checked the entire phone (with root explorer enabled), nothing. However the backup was successful because my Available Space has fallen by roughly 1gb, the size of my backup. Does anyone know whats going on here?
Thanks in advance, really appreciate your support.

Hmm, unfortunately I don't get that. This is what I see.
Could it be because I am using a theme on my TWRP (the Holo one btw, which no one else has reported a problem on)...
Edit: Okay, I think I solved it...I went onto the root of the phone again this time, searched the data folder and was able to find Media -> Backups (see below). Why is that it appears here rather on the SD card data folder?

maybe because you compressed it? i dont compress mine.
Thanks for the help Simms, but after digging around on XDA forums, I found the cause and the solution (posted here):
jasonwc said:
There was a weird bug with TWRP that put the FIRST backup in /data/media/TWRP/backups (read: wrong). After rebooting the recovery, all future backups will go into /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups, which is where you want them.
Here's what I think happened:
1) Your first backup was stored in /data/media/TWRP which is not where TWRP looks for backups. So, TWRP showed no backups.
2) You ran a second backup which showed up correctly in TWRP, and was stored in /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups.
3) You renamed the most recent backup, and then checked /mnt/sdcard/TWRP/backups, and assumed the renaming actually moved the folder. I don't think it did.

I have TWRP installed but when looking through what's taking space on my phone via DiskUsage, it says there is a clockworkmod backup folder that's taking up 2.4GB of space. No matter how many times I delete it, it reappears again for no reason.
This is what I mean:

When I delete it, the "Freespace" section boosts up to 3+GB. Is there any way to get rid of this? I think I did something wrong when installing recoveries (I had clockworkmod installed at first but promptly replaced it with TWRP)

I couldn't delete the folder so I went into the folder itself and deleted the files individually. Is there a way to completely delete that folder? Using DiskUsage and the Root Browser on Rom Toolbox Pro doesn't seem to delete it. I don't even use Clockworkmod anymore hmm

If you're rooted you should be able to delete it. See if you can change its permissions to read/write. Just delete the clockworkmod folder and subfolders. Don't try to delete /mnt/shell/emulated

That was odd. It didn't work (even if im rooted or changed the permissions) but when moving it to the sdcard partition, it deleted it from there it was successful. Now, its gone and its contents are gone so I have an extra 2.4gb to use on my phone now. Thank you for the help! It's been like this for months.
Hello I found this interesting thread where you can make a nandroid backup without booting into recovery! Credit goes all to the developer..
Here is the link to his thread

Nandroid backups are usually performed in recovery mode. This means you would have to turn off your phone and reboot in recovery mode, which wastes a whole lot of time rebooting and a lot more time offline. For me, this has been a killer as I do regular nandroid backups. Having to reboot in recovery and finding missed calls, sms from my wife and friends is totally not accepatable for me. So, I set to develop an online nandroid backup tool, namely Online Nandroid, which can do nandroid backups without switching off my phone.
Today, I am releasing it to public, as it may serve good for some others too. Originally I developed Online Nandroid specifically for Xperia devices, but now I am releasing it for all android devices.
This tool, eventhough called "Online Nandroid", does not upload/save backups to any online/cloud services. Online here means that it does backup while phone is live or still running Android.
The short name onandroid is meant to be pronouced as o-nandroid or o'nandroid and NOT on-android.

To make life a lot easier just go to Google Play and get Online Nandroid Backup * ROOT

The GUI developed by Thomas Otero makes it much more user friendly (and of course he properly credits Ameer for his work). It even checks for updated versions of the script.
Backups are really there.
Thanks!

You said that you are using twrp right?
Then why you are using CMW backup app instead of twrp? You are using two different recoveries..
I think titanium backup uses cmw but i guess it should work with twrp too I'm not 100% sure.
1. Make your backup data zip folder using titanium backup
2. Boot into recovery and flash it using twrp or cmw.
I recommend you to backup the entire rom with twrp first then try it out just incase anything goes wrong
Sorry I didn't understood your message.
I am using twrp and twrp backups are supported by Titanium Backups.
And I made a full backup with twrp. And Titanium backup can't find that backup on my sd card. But backups are really there.

It's not working for me either
Try using nandroid manager from google play it should work
Nandroid Managers is ok.
But I would like to make tibackup do the same.
Moved TWRP backup to Internal Memory and Titanium Backup found it.
Problem solved.. kind of.
Have the same problem, requested a fix from Titanium Backup team - let's see...
If you copied files to computer:
It adds .zip extension to tar.gz files
And .txt extension to properties files
That's why program cannot recognize them.
U should delete that extra additions from file names
