I used "Nexus 4 ToolKit" to backup my nexus 4. After backup, I only found a backup folder in my pc (C:\Google Nexus 4 ToolKit\backups\backup)
Now, I want to use CWM to restore it. However, I can't find the path (/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup) in my phone.
Then, I used the backup function in CWM to test my phone. And then, I tried to restore it. It worked, but still don't have the path (/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup) in my phone.
Now, I only want to use the backup folder in my pc to restore my phone. But, I can't put the backup folder to make CWM detect the backup.
What should I do to restore my phone by CWM?
its in root/data/media/clockworkmod/backup
not in emulated sdcard/0

hi guys
i had nand backup with cwm. now i want to copy all backup data to my pc( as i always did for my SGS).
but i cant find the folder of backup...where can i find this backup files so i can keep it safe and release some space on my phone?
thanks
ClockworkMod stores its backup in a location you can't access from the computer. It saves the backups in /data/media/clockworkmod. You will need to copy them onto the sdcard before doing the transfer, or simply do an adb pull from that location.
F.Y.I. TWRP recovery saves your backups right on the sdcard.
there is an app in the playstore called cwm backup manager (not affiliated with cwm). it will copy it to the SD card. then just zip it on the device with Astro (or another program of your choosing) so you can copy it to your PC.
I am ready to switch from my 'old' xt907 to my 'new' xt907. both are on stock KK 183.46.10, rooted, unlocked, with TWRP 2710.
to have an exact carbon copy i figure i will need to :
1) copy my OS with all my hacks, exploits, tweaks, etc
2) copy all my applications with their appdata etc
to accomplish (1) i have used TWRP to create a backup of all 4 partitions.
is this enough? all i have to do is flash/recover it on the new phone?
to accomplish (2) will Titanium Backup do the job? can this even work or am i dreaming?
will i be able to also backup my Xposed framework apps?
and then what? i just copy the backups to the TiBu folder on the new phone and restore?
TIA
follow-up
how should i save my apps/appdata? do i
1) backup in TiBu and then create the system backup in TWRP and use that an i'm done? or
2) backup in TiBu and take those backup files and copy them to TiBu on the new device after it is restored with TWRP, then restore the app data with TiBu?
If you have twrp on both all I did was make a twrp back up to external SD then copy whatever I wanted from internal storage from device A.... Then restored the back up on device B... Your app data and all will be restored

thanks, after some trials and error i ended up finding this page and the instructions were flawless. http://heavyjumbo.com/2013/10/13/mi...android-phone-to-another-using-twrp-recovery/
I did a stock slot backup on my old phone to sdcard. I see it present under twrp using file explorer. Safestrap cant find it. I click restore on the replacement phone and there are no choices listed. Suggestions
You will have to make a backup of your current rom to recreate the folder that has ypur backups then move your old backup to the new backup folder switching phones changes the mame of the backup folder
For those who have rooted their tablet take a look at Online Nandroid Backup and the corresponding Nandroid Manager applications in the Play store. The backup app provides a clockwork recovery type backup that can be saved to internal storage or to your SD card. I have not tried the cloud option.
The manager app allows you to review your backup and to perform a restore.
What I have not tried yet, it to consolidate the backup into a zip file. If this works the we could use the combination of the bakcup app and the Cyanogen recovery to restore previous backups from the recovery mode, and work with any custom ROMs that become available.
Again, this does require root, but that is very easy to obtain.:good:
I N910C and I used the ROM Stock N910CXXU2DPF4 and after updated the N910CXXS2DPG6 version, Titatinium Backup does not recognize the old folder backups, to restore power, even if the internal memory or SD card.
Even if I use the function to detect the Titanium, it does not detect.
I first have to make a backup, either a file or all, for Titantium recognize the current folder.
Use the 7.5.0 version. Titanium Backup
Can someone help me?
