I tried that but it went back to 0 again and I had to fix the back up folder location again.. could it be that I formated data?

Usually a reflash will work most problems I've seen so far is based on various kernels acting weird with roms themselves.

Fix for no apps showing in Titanium is simple. Try the 'Problems Menu/button first.
Then Force a verify of all backups. They'll then all show back up.
You may have to fist specify you backup folder in preferences.
Yup, should set folder location to your Extsdcard before wiping.
If you did do that, then after wiping and reinstalling TB you would have to go back under TB preferences and have it redetect the backup folder on your Extsdcard, then you can batch restore whatever you want.
If you left it on the internal storage and wiped your phone then they are gone. But you can redownload them from playstore.

Hmm, I thought the default was internal sd. Anywho, my backup folder is on my external sd card and every time I wipe and format the phone and run TB theres nothing there. I have to run detect in preferences then it locates the folder on the Extsdcard.

Same here but it only finds one folder and it only has back ups from june 6th I think I have back ups on my computer tho I need to check
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Go to preferences /back up folder location. DO NOT HIT DETECT.
Press back button on your phone until you see extsdcard, select extsdcard then look for titaniumbackup folder & select it, then press .."use current folder" button at the bottom screen.
Do the same if your titaniumbackup is in internalSD.
Exit app. back up folder should now be set when you reopen TB.

So I found my back ups when I put my sd card into my computer.. they are all still on my phone the problem is when my sd card is on my phone nothing shows up on the sdcard/titanium folder.. anyone have a clue why this is happening?

You technically have 2 sdcards.
Your internal phone 'built in' storage is called in the file browser as 'sdcard'. Should be found in /storage/emulated/0/sdcard
Your sdcard that you can remove from your phone is listed in the file browser as extsdcard and should be found under /storage/extsdcard.
Make sure you're pointing TB to the right directory to scan.

Storage is listed differently in some ROMs.
sometimes:
/storage/emulated/0/sdcard etc.
or
/storage/DeviceStorage
/storage/SD memory card.
yada
but more likely it's:
/storage/sdcard0 = internal
/storage/extSdCard = external SD

It's extremely annoying that the internal sdcard is the default sdcard! All the data and backup stuff goes into the sdcard that is extendable on a wipe... every time I load up a new rom, and I wipe, my backups are gone.
I can manually move stuff each time I backup, but that's absurd.
Is there any way to fix this?

Assuming that you are using titanium to back up, there are options to set the preferred backup location.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
There are and thank god for that. But I'm talking about market apps that backup to sdcard.
For example few are...
Acar for fuel/mileage tracking
My work clock for keeping track of hours
Launcher pro settings/pref backup
Those are just to name a few
You can change this by change the symbolic link in / to sdcard so it links to /mnt/sdcard-ext. Just be careful, it might broke some apps that have their data on the internal card. If you have ash problem you can change the symbolic link back.

Or alternatively create a little "script" to copy the contents from sdcard to sd-ext. Or to save space, you could prolly "tar czf /sd-ext/backup.tgz /sdcard"
I keep getting not enough space error whenever I take a backup. Can anybody please tell me how to get around the error?

You can also copy your backups from your sdcard using adb.
Synatax:
C:\Program Files (x86\android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ ./clockworkmod/backup
This will copy all backups in tour clockworkmod/backup/ directory to the currently open location on your pc with the correct paths for organization sake.
Then just delete all or some of the backups on your sdcard using root explorer (definatly easier than using shell) to make the amount of free space you desire.
Ready for more backups and you have the backups in case you need to perform disaster recovery.
It's easy enough to just do it through the USB connection to your computer. Cut and paste to a backup folder on your computer. I only keep two backups (at the most) on my phone.

I rooted my phone just yesterday. It has 0 backups, 500 mb internal storage and 13 gb USB available. I think twr recovery is trying to save the backup in internal storage and I can't find any option to save it to USB storage

How can i move my files?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
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.

I was wondering... If you do a factory reset in cwm, will it remove the contents of the virtual SD card? I would hope it wouldn't, but want to make sure.
Also wondering if it would erase the contents of the cwm backup folder, since that's been separated out now.

No if you do a factory reset in cwm it wipes only the /data and cache partitions so you can then flash a rom which overwrites /system, so everything but /sdcard gets wiped.
And what about the cwm folder? I haven't heard of it changing.
It's always been /sdcard/clockworkmod/

With the nexus 10, the clockwork mod backup folder is in /mint/shell/emulated/clockworkmod
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

weird, I went to find my clockworkmod folder and it's not in my sdcard. =O
I also can't find "/mint/" maybe you meant /mnt? but even then it's still not there. I did a nandroid backup, but I cannot find the folder.
Mistype, /mnt/
I know that alot of apps can't see that directory, thats "by design" from what i've seen... i'm using ES File Manager, have it set to root permissions, and have it set to up to root, and i'm able to see it there.

Hey all.
I want to restore a backup i made earlier. But when i try to restore it it says md5 miatch.
I found a f8x for it but for that i need to reach the backup in the cwm folder om my sd. The only problem is. That the cwm folder shows up empty...
I set hidden folder to show and everything
Why is this?
Kind regards

im pretty sure clockworkmod has recently changed the backup directory to /data/clockworkmod/backup/
youre gonna need root to access the folder.
