When making a TB backup the only files that appear in the titanium backup folder are .properties. How come it is not Tar.gz the apps?

Can u be a little more specific?
Titanium backup works awesome for backups if you have root,if not then you will have to do a directory crawl with a pc and back up that way.

i upgraded my rom (paranoid android) and it has android 4.2 on it. but with multiuser support, the sd card contents got redirected somewhere else, but it didnt take my files with it. so now none of my apps see my files. i need to know how to get them into a readable place.
You should have done a backup with titanium before installing the new rom,then you could have reinstalled titanium and restored appa and data.The multiuser file system is a pita,install your apps from playstore and then find the directories they hold their data and transfer it manually.Time consuming but unless you have a nandroid of you 4.1 that you could install to do a titanium backup on thats the way to go.

I made a nandroid already. My apps aren't the problem. I only need to get to my old sd card contents. That has my app backups from rom toolbox.
So you need to move your rom toolbox backup from your old sd to your new backup location so it can restore?
You will have to use a file manager or pc to copy paste from old location to the new one ,finding the new one might be a pain but I believe the old one should be sdcard/romtoolbox folder.

I figured out where everything was. My old sd card stuff was under "mnt/shell/emulated" while the new sd card was under "/sdcard". kind of a pain trying to find it.
Good to know.
Cheers

I don't like to backup on the sdcard because the16 Gb available on N4.....I don't like to use dropbox or whatever else neither....is it possible to backup on external ssd using titanium or rom toolbar?
thanks
You can back up to internal, transfer to SSD and delete from internal.
Use Carbon Backup (made by the same guys as CWM) - awesome app if you are just looking for a simple backup and restore function.

I use titanium and then just hook up to my pc and download the back up..
Then I delete out from the phone. I do the same thing with the recovery console backups.
Titanium is awesome though and you can upload backups to drop box, Google drive, etc but I always use my pc. It only takes a few minutes when using usb.

So I made a backup using CWM (I am running Paranoid Android 3). If I flash a different ROM, can I use this to restore all of my data? And were are the backup files located? Thanks.
Use titanium backup to restore apps and app data but do not restore system apps or data.
Your cwm nandroids are stored in /data/media/clockworkmod

So does that restore the internal sd card as well?

No. The ONLY way to backup your sdcard is to copy it elsewhere. PC USB otg or something. NONE of the backup utilities actually backup your sdcard

With most ROMs I flash, my tb backups work but a select few they won't show up. I go to preferences and manually select my backup location ( i see it has all my backups in there). Yet tb won't show my backups ...
Any ideas

I tried backing up my efs folder to my sd card using philz recovery but when I do it and then reboot and go to the backup that I made the folder is blank. What is the best way to backup my efs folder?

I managed to back it up with terminal emulator but im not sure how to restore it if I corrupt my imei or anything like that so if anyone knows an easy way to restore it that would help me a lot lol

OK I have 2 backups that I made.
Efs.img
Efs-backup.tar.gz
I know I can restore them using terminal emulator but im just wondering if these were done correctly.
