nandroid help

im having trouble locating the nandroid folder i searched around and it said its in the root directory but i dont see it can anyone help me? i already partition my sd card thanks
It's just called 'nandroid' in the root of your sd (fat patition), and contains several sub folders. If it's not there, it ain't there. If you partitioned after making a backup all files on your sd will be gone because they were formatted during the process.
the nandroid folder isnt in the root directory and im able to see it in the recovery screen and use it to restore
edit:
solved if other people are using clockwork for backup its under clockworkmod then backup

[Q] Best way to move from SD based CM7 to emmc CM7 without loosing apps or data.

What is the best way to move from a SD based CM7 to a emmc CM7 and not loose any apps or data? I've been running off the SD card for several weeks and am ready to move to the flash based setup but don't want to loose any data or apps. I may also want to be able to dual boot into the Nook 1.2. Currently running CM7 41, OC Kernel 04/04/11, and dualboot menu all off the SD card.
Thanks,
jmak
+1. Little help?
Thanks!
titanium backup your apps/data, then install fresh copy on emmc, then restore all
I thought about doing the reverse, emmc to sd but that thought went away after a few minutes

How do you use titanium backup to do the restore since the backup is stored on the original SD card that was used to boot CM7? Do you have to copy the backup files to another card to do the restore?

yes,
-do the backup,
-copy the sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder to your computer (via adb/cifs-wifi/dropbox/ESFileExplorer/whatever)
-install your prefered ROM
-copy to sdcard/TitaniumBackup from your computer's copy
-batch restore (i'd buy titanium pro if you have many apps, if not, it will ask to confirm restoring one by one)

[Q]

I just started dual boot stock 1.4/ cm7 and i am wondering how do I run the restore from titanium backup to get my apps back ? I am a n00b so this was my first time since autonooter trying anything. I did make a back up and it is on a seperate sd card. would I just copy the titanium folder onto the cm7 card ?
easiest way is to adb the titanium folder... you have to put it on what CM7 sees as the "sdcard" which is partition 4 on the SD card in that configuration.

storage question

every time i do a cwm back up it saves to phone storage not my sd card and it dose the something for titanium back up help.

I don't know if cwm can save the nandroid backup on the sdcard, but in twrp recovery on the backup page you can select where to save the file. As far as titanium backup, go into your preferences and select your sdcard for the backup location.
Yes. In oudhs cwm recovery, you can choose to backup and restore to external card. In titanium, you can go into settings and choose the physical SD card as your backup path.
