Also, I don't see any settings in ROM Manager to switch as well ...

it doesnt show in mine either. but if you bot to recovery it will show in the restore. id imagin the files are hidden so we dont accidentally delete them. if you want to delete... you can in recovery.

Yeah, that's true. I extract my backups and keep it safe, that's why I'm trying to find it physically.

es file explorer. go into settings and give it root permissions. supersu will pop up. grant. then tick favorites button. hit the '/'. you will be in root folder.

if you are like me and are not familiar with the emulator commands.
copy from root folder into sdcard somewhere. download is probably easiest. then use airdroid to transfer to pc. airdroid also lets you text from pc, through webpage, so you dont have to look at phone while busy onine. pretty neat app.
I can see the backup zip in ES Explorer, but it is not visible to windows when I connect the N4 to it. I can see all other photo files, and I even moved the zip to the DCIM folder, but I cannot see therefore I cannot make a copy of it to keep in my laptop.
how to switch cwm to create them in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups instead of /data/media/clockworkmod? i know it is possible becouse some time ago by default it was created and visible to system and know it is not (i did not change any settings, probably)
btw: on external sdcard they are created normally

Hello guys, I have a question about the nandroid backup on Nexus 4
See I got my Nexus 4 the other day, and I flashed Clockworkmod Recovery 6.0.2.0, then I made a nandroid backup. The recovery said this backup was stored in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. But when I return to my normal system I cannot find this folder(using root explorer). I can see that 1 or 2G space was used by something but I cannot find this folder no matter how, although this folder does exist. Later I found out that Rom Manager can get access to this folder.So is the recovery using a special way to hide this folder or what? Hope you guys can tell me something about this. Many thanks XD

Look in /data/media/Clockworkmod.
NOT the /sdcard/data, but in system root.
This recovery folder is only accessible by Clockwordmod when it is running. It cannot be displayed in file explorers for safety reasons, such as accidental deletion. But this folder can be accessed with a PC when your phone is connected to it, in order to take a backup of the folder. Hope this helps

Anyone else notice older versions of CWM backups were sometimes over 1gb and these new ones are only about 50mb?

Yes, that's a new feature that tries to combine the backups and only re-backup newly changed data
Forgive my ignorance guys, but if you wipe the data partition, do you lose your backups? I want to get this straight before I root my phone that will apparently never be shipped to me.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

No you don't as the data partition is separate from the backup folder. But just to be sure, make a backup of your backup on your PC :cyclops:
Does TWRP also stores their back ups here too??

I think you can copy your data/media/clockworkmod to your SDcard(with root explorer or something like that), then plug the phone to your PC, move the clockworkmod folder to your PC. I did it this afternoon
how do i go about doing a nandroid backup? steps please
so nandroid backup? save the backup folder to PC, then i can flash a custom rom like matrix1, and how do i get back all my apps/folders again? just put back the backupfolder?
can i just connect to my PC and copy and paste ALL OF the nexus4 drive? is that backing up as well?

Is this directory stored on the internal storage? In other words, when I do a wipe to I flash a rom, would this directory be included in that wipe? I mean, it sounds like a stupid question. And I would expect it to be located in the internal storage, but I don't wanna do a wipe and install the rom and now I'm stuck without my backup.
what would be the quickest process to copy a nandroid backup from my nexus4 to a computer?
and when i wanted to paste it back onto my phone, how would i go about doing that to restore from it?
Hi

Re,
In your file explorer have you a setting like "view or show hidden folders / files"? If yes tick the option maybe...
Also look at /data/media/clockworkmod/backup.

Hello fellow S4 owners. Quick question, since this phone is a tad bit different from my Evo Design. I noticed on the S3 and S4 that most files are set by default to save to the phone's memory. I've rooted my S4 and backed up my data with Clockworkmod and now I can't find where it's saving these backups to lol! Just bought the phone 2 days ago and out of 16GB, I only have 1GB of free space left and want to transfer them to my SD.
Even when I go to Astro/Root Explorer, still can't find them on the phone or SD card, yet when I choose the "restore" option through my recovery, it knows where they are and displays them. Thanks in advance!
Well me I like using solid explore from the play store you have a trail .there you should be able to file any folder hit settings go to file and check hiden file then restart app you should see any folder thats hide if it hide it self . But I do believe it didnt and you just might need to check with anither file manger . And I havent rooted it yet I usually wait about two weeks to root my phone only cause I want to see what my phone could do with out root .
I will tonight if you havent found it byvthen let me know I'll more then will to help .

just an FYI, the only thing I've been able to do as far as freeing up space is delete the backups from the phone's memory. there was an option to delete in recovery which is pretty nifty. now all of my phone's memory is cleared and I backed up my ROM again to the SD.

Yeah that is pretty nifty..but you shouldnt have to do that I mean delete file that you wanted. Was you able to find them ? cant wait to my kids go to sleep..lol... but try solid explore its a great file manger .
if you are using the standard CWM then it will be saved to /data/media
agat/OUDHS/TWRP should save to sdcard

ok then, make sure you are on teh latest one and it will save to the proper internal sdcard location. otherwise it will go to /data/media or if your microsd is formatted to fat32 it can go there

Hi guys, the problem I have is after a few times of plugging in my Nexus 7 to my PC, it has seemed to 'Wipe' the SD partition. Both the PC and device (File explorers and terminal) report it has been cleared, with obvious new files created by some apps on startup.
I have/had a backup on said SD partition,when I boot into recovery, Clockworkmod recovery still shows that I have these backup file... I then get a Md5 mismatch error when trying to use it. (I have attached a screenshot of where CWM displays my backup)
What I want to know is, do I get this error because the file isn't there? Is there any way I can restore my SD partition by some sort of witchcraft?
Thanks in advance, Dan
That's not where CWM stores its backups though. The actual location is /data/media/clockworkmod/. This folder is not accessible from the computer.
