For some reason I can't find the backup I made in the clockworkmod folder... Am I missing something? Thanks for any help..

Your backup is still in the old place (where pre-4.2 saved it). As 4.2 has multi-user support you now see /sdcard/0/xxx which CWM doesn't see
So how would we go about restoring it?

This is the third time this has happened now. I flash a ROM on my N7 then i look to restore a backup and it says file not found. But I've made a backup! How the hell can i fix this?

Is the backup made in 4.1.2 and the new rom is 4.2 (or the other way around) ?
If yes, then I'm sorry to inform you that the path where the backup reside is different in 4.1.2 and 4.2 ... so there are some steps required to use the respective files. More than that, switching in between 4.1.2 and 4.2 will require you to alter the mounting points.
No I'm on 4.2 and did a backup of stock using cwm. Now cwm cant find my backup

What version of CWM.. This is a known bug on a older version. I would suggest you check that maybe even re-download and flash cwm again. Get it from cwm web site not the one in rom manager self install....
Good Luck
I got the latest one, i will flash the stock image again. Third time lucky! Thanks for your help

Just tried again. no backups found. but when looking in my SD i have a backup. What should i mount to be able to restore?
Recently I noticed after making a back up it's not saved. I get no errors but it's not in my clockworkmod/backups folder. Can anyone help?

What version of CWM? Do you have anything in that folder? Do you have a folder named blobs in the CWM folder?

Yes, that is because in 4.2 you need to look under /data/media/clockworkmod.

Hi everyone,
I would like to restore my nandroid backup (from my N4) on another Nexus 4. Both Nexus 4 are running CyanogenMod 10.1 so unlocked bootloader + rooted + CWM recovery.
So I would like to know if I can restore it without any problem ? Should I have to check the md5sum ?
Thank's by advance
Don't see why it shouldn't work, but if its just the data you need why don't you use Titanium Backup?

I have a 16gb nexus 4. I rooted my phone a few weeks ago and decided to DL flash cm 10.1 to my phone yesterday. But, it got stuck in a boot loop and I restored to the android backup I had.
The problem is, now my storage says only 435 mb free, but I had around 6gb free before. I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

Nandroid backups?

I don't think it's that. I only have one backup and it says it's only a few megabytes.

So, of I do the fast boot and recover my data, it should clear up the storage space?

Oh I misunderstood you, it is showing that you have 16gb its just that a lot of it is missing.
I would try deleting unneeded nandroids, especially if they are CWM as they don't get saved somewhere you can use a simple file manager to get to I don't think.
Also try clearing cache and davlik cache, if this doesn't work, I think you'll have to back up apps and factory reset through recovery.

But the nandroids are only 7.38 mbs. I don't think they are the cause of the problem. I was researching the problem online and I think it might be the lost.dir folder, but I can't find it.

there's something wrong then. a nandroid will NEVER be 7.38mb
Wait, I think you're right. The nandroid back up I made on my computer says 5gb. But, which system folder is it in on my phone?

which recovery did you use?
CWM goes to /data/media/clockworkmod
TWRP goes to /sdcard/TWRP/backup
I think...

Thank you so much.
I found it, deleted it, and got my space back.
But that leads me to another question. If I don't have a backup on my phone, how will I restore? Because yesterday, I was in a boot loop, and the ADB connection wouldn't work. The only reason I could restore was because I had the nandroid back up on my phone already.

If you were in a bootloop, get into recovery and choose sideload. Then you can push a rom file and flash it. Or you could just not remove the recovery. TWRP nandroid take less space.
I see. I just used CWM because I read that they were better. I'm still new at all of this. Thank you. You've been very helpful.

There is an app on the market called app2zip which might do what you're looking for. I've used it before to make a zip of Titanium Backup and it worked well. But it hasn't been updated since last year.

Titanium Backup can create an update zip of itself or of all the apps+data that you have backup up.

Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Backup your apps & data as usual
Next look under Batch Items - Recovery mode - Create "update.zip" from app+data backups.
Click on Run
You can then give the update.zip a name (or leave it as is) and select which apps to include.
Finally click on the green tick in the top right.

To create an update.zip of just titanium backup, on the front screen of TB press your menu button to bring up the Main Menu.
Scroll to the bottom and find "Special Features". Under that heading click on "Create "update.zip" ..."
Good luck.
