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.

Hi I need help, I want to copy a TWRP nandroid I have from my PC into my nexus tablet data sdcard to restore a backup. Accidently messed up my build.prop file. So want to restore nandroid but my backups are on my PC. How do I copy them over while in TWRP recovery? Thanks!

If you have a microOTG cable and an SD key/reader. TWRP supports reading storage from a "usb-otg" source. If I can remember you need to turn that option on in the TWRP file mananger settings. It was not too hard to find.
Try copying the TWRP backup from the PC to the SD. Then attaching the microOTG cable, SD key/reader to the N10. Boot into TWRP recovery and do a restore from the "usb-otg" directory. Scroll down to the bottom of the directory list and you should see "usb-otg". Select it and select your backup.
Under mounts and storage there should be a Mount SD card and you can connect you tablet to the computer Mount it and copy them over

Hello
I made a full backup with philz and transferred it to my pc. Tried to delete the backup folder from my internal sd card but can't. Get this message:
Cannot delete backup: the storage is write-protected. Remove the write-protection and try again.
BTW, I'm on stock kk 4.4.2
Thanks for your help
By default, CWM and Philz protect the nandroid data from being deleted since they utilize an incremental backup scheme rather than the older image file setup. For example, let's say you have three nandroid backups: A, B, and C. If the nandroid data wasn't write protected and you delete backup A, you would screw up ALL your nandroid backups. A is the master backup. When the recovery makes backup B, it only backs up the changes made between A and B. If you then made backup C, it would back up the changes between A AND B, and C. Since the possibility of screwing up all your backups by deleting the oldest is a major problem, CWM and Philz write protect the storage.
Go into Philz, then enter the backups menu. Delete the existing backups using its delete function, then select "free unused storage data" to recover the space. After doing that, switch to TWRP 2.8.6.0, as it doesn't make incremental backups and thus doesn't write protect the storage space. Also, unlike CWM and Philz, you can place the backups on your MicroSD card..
Done....thanks very much Strephon
hi, i have the same problem and it work, thanks!
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:
So I had problems with my phone and I decided to go back to pure stock marshmallow but before I could do that I ended up moving all of my data folders from internal storage to my micro SD card then I ended up flashing twrp using fastboot I backed up my Marshmallow Stock ROM and flashed AICP ROM with magisk it was successful, then I downloaded titanium backup gave it root permissions then i went into the Backup/Restore section and couldn't see my backups. In file manager in my internal storage I'm able to see the Titanium backup folder and my backups as well I went online and it said to go Main menu, preferences, backup folder location and I'm able to see my backups there. I even tried moving them to my SD card and but when I go into the titanuim backup folder it shows a grey "Use the Current Folder" so I ended up moving titanium backup folder to internal storage clicking "Use the Current Folder" but in the Backup/Restore section there are no backups what can I do?
