I am wondering if there is a way to delete my nand backup? I no longer have root access so I don't have any idea how to delete it.
Can anyone help me with this? I have been looking every where, but I can't seem to find anything about this.
Thanks

U will have your nandroid backup in internal or external memory depending on where u have saved it
example if u have CWM there will be a folder clockworkmod that has the backup delete that and done
My nand backup is in my internal memory.
So should I just delete the clockworkmod folder delete my nand backup? When I opened the folder, there's nothing in it. (Dunno if that's because I dont have root access anymore?)

Wrong folder or you don't have a nand backup.

My Vibrants USB connector is screwy and im going to ask for a replacement. Once I get my replacement, how I do transfer my info?
Contacts and Calendar will automatically get transfered from Google.
With Titanium Backup - do I just copy that folder over from one internal SD to the other and then proceed to reinstall apps?
What about other app data, etc.. Should I just copy over folders from one to other? Would that work?

I'll just echo shrivel and say you should be fine doing that however you will probably need to download the actual apps as the all's don't save with Titanium. Basically when you go to the market and download an app the apk is saved and installed on your phone what titanium will do is save all the data once you make a change to your phone say installing a Rom it wipes the data and uninstalls all of your apps. But it does not delete the apk so when you use titanium to restore it looks for that apk to reinstall it with the same data and setting. If you completely wipe your phone or copy the backup file to a new phone titanium will be looking for the apk to reinstall but its not there.
I know that was kind of long and if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

I'm doing this right now and cant seem to get it to work.
I have titanium and a friend backed everything up to my ext. sd card.
How do I get titanium to pull it off of the sd card? Or if I transfer it to the internal card in a folder (which is what its in) how do I get titanium to see the folder?
I can see the folder with astro on the internal card, but titanium doesn't see it?
What am I doing wrong? any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

your backup folder containing all the backups should be named TitaniumBackup and placed on the root of your internal sdcard. or you can specify the name of your backup folder in the preferences menu in titaniumbackup.
also, titianium backs up your app+data for you, so you don't need to re-download it from the market. if you want to backup other stuff like call log, text messages, home screen icons, phone contacts etc, use 'mybackup pro'
I feel like an idiot, How do I get to the root?
Do I have to use a computer to do it? or can I transfer the files there from the sd card or the internal memory?

In astro if you press the home button it should take you to the root of the internal sd. Top should say that you are in directory /sdcard. Just move the TitaniumBackup folder to there and it should work.
EDIT: The home button in astro BTW, at the top under the notification bar, not the android home button on the bottom of the phone.
titanium backup folder is there and all the files are in it.
When I open up the app titanium back up, go to back up/ restore and then hit menu, batch, I don't see the files that are in that folder only whats on the phone as it came from tmobile (none of my apps and files)
What am I doing wrong or failing to do?
If your going back to the same kernel/ROM you can do a nandroid backup of your system files as well.
Hey guys,
could you help me out restoring my settings with titaniumbackup, here's my problem:
I backed up my settings on my previous rom (DHDrom SD), then flashed to cyanogenmod7, but to get rid of all the garbage on my SDcard(like stupid pictures and sounds used in wmapplications that appear in my android gallery and music application) i wiped my SDcard clean (i did backup my SD on my computer). But now is the problem that titaniumbackup obviously can't find the backup file anymore because i wiped my SDcard. So...
Is there a way to fish up my backup file from the SDcardbackup on my computer and get it properly onto my actual SD so that titaniumbackup could use it to restore my settings?
im sorry for being a nb
Thanks!

Hi,
Looking at my own sd card ,I've got a TitaniumBackup folder and a TitaniumBackup-3.7.3.2.zip.
See if you have anything like on your pc backup, restore them to the card,and see if that restores your settings.
nope didnt work the only thing i can find with the name titanium in it is an empty folder in the data folder
The default location for Titanium backup is /sdcard/TitaniumBackup. If that folder doesn't exist or is empty, then it seems your backup is lost.
Okay and couldn't it be hidden in the root folder somewhere because titaniumbackup always asks for root access? Because I used the free root version of titaniumbackup?
Anyways thanks for answering!!
I have always restored my apps using titanium backup after flashing a rom. Now when I open titaniumbackup, I dont see the name of the app anymore.. I see "com.blabla.blabla.blabla" + when I try to restore my 95 apps, it restores in 3 seconds, and nothing happends.. I have installed busybox (click on the "problem" button)
Any fix for this ?

Not from cwm,but just replace the titanium backup zip to the root of your sd card,and the app will be able to find it...

I've got a folder and a zip called Titanium Backup on my sd card.
I am presuming that this is where the app saves its files.
If they are not there,it cannot restore anything.
Someone also had the same problem when they formatted their sd card,but didn't make a backup...
I have a folder called titaniumbackup on the root of my sd card, and all of the apps are inside there, but it still wont restore.. + it would usally recognize the name of the app.. but now it is showing "com.anddoes.fancywidget.pro-38ac4964313034e9cb560a0cd11cd623.apk.gz" ..

Mine says titanium backup(folder)
and titanium backup ZIP.
When I formatted my sd card these were the two that I restored,and everything works.
I am suggesting that if you didn't restore both to your sd card,therein lies the problem.

found it out I think.. I looked at some older backups.. they do all have a properties file.. while in this folder.. there are no properties file.. now I'm wondering how I am supposed to make a properties files out of them..
I guess I will restore that old backup, and put the apk.'s inside the apk.gz from the new backup and install them .. confusing lol

Good luck...
Hi everybody, I was about to install a new rom, and I made a nandroid backup, when the progress bar had almost reached the end, it gave me an error, so I decided to leave flash for another moment, but when I turned on the phone, the internal memory appeared full, 0 bytes free. I guess it is occuped by the backup that cwm has been able to do until the error occurred (which surely have been because of the space). So, could you tell me please, where does the backup get saved, to be able to delete it?? seriously urgent as I have not even one byte free ....
PS: I've read that should be in a folder called ClockworkMod and inside, in a folder named backup, but I havent got that folder. Also I've noticed that the /data folder of the root directory occupies 10Gb, so I guess this could be the folder, as in internal memory I have only 3Gb, the problem is that I do not know which folders and files can be deleted from there, and what must be in that folder.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks!! That was the solution. I entered recovery and in backup/restore y chose delete, then I pressed in the only option I had and that's all. Now I have 5Gb free!! Thank you very much!
Hey there. I have what I bet is a silly question for most here. Anyhow, here goes:
I have my user apps and data backed up with Titanium Backup. Am on stock Lollipop, but will flash CM12 eventually. As it requires a data wipe, my question is how to "save" backed up data in TIBackup so that I can restore everything I need after flashing?
Is everything stored in some specific file/folder that I need to copy to my PC and copy it back on my SD card after flashing CM? Or is it something else?
Thanks in advance.

Oh crap, it's the whole TitaniumBackup folder isn't it? I was hoping it was all compressed in one file, but... Oh well. Thank you for the info, case closed.
