Location of CWM back up in PC?

Since we have limited amount of storage, i would like to know where is the CWM back up stored so that i can simply move it to my desktop and move back when needed.
this way i saved a few hundred MBs and is able to have multiple backups.
I tried connecting via USB and searching thru the directory but couldnt find it (even enable hidden files)
i know the path is sd/CWM/backup
but i cant seem to find CWM either...
It use to work on my sg2 when i save it on my external sd
any idea?
Thanks,

It's in root folder "/mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod" for me.

not there either for me....shell folder is empty

/data/media

On my 8gb it is in the shell folder. Some root browsers won't see anything in that folder for some reason. Esfile explorer with root privileges wouldn't see it but root explorer would. I used the nexus 4 tool kit to adb pull the backup from the shell folder and onto my PC. Again using the toolkit to push it back onto the phone

Thanks @ tohg2
Does anyone know how to get to root directory from the comp?

a. Try this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999214
b Simply use a root explorer and cut the clockworkmod folder from "/data/media" into "/data/media/0", then the PC will see it. You will need to cut it back to /data/media if you want to Clockworkmod Recovery to see it though.
c. Copy it using ADB by typing: adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod "C:\clockworkmod"

You can't - you'll need to move it from the CWM folder to somewhere a PC can see it and then copy it off from there...ball ache, I know, but it's the only way I've done it since moving to 4.2

damn, it was so much easier on my sg2. internal sd, such a pain in the....

Cannot find clockworkmod folder. Read all XDA threads already.

Hello guys,
I want to flash a custom ROM and I have made a Nandroid Backup using the latest clockworkmod.
I cannot seem to find the clockworkmod folder on my phone. Funny thing is that when I use restore option in the CWM, it shows the path of the backup as sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Already tried checking data/media, but my data folder doesnt have a media subfolder.
Any suggestions?
PS: I use ES File Explorer and I did check the 'Hidden Files' option in it. Using CWM 6.0.2.3
PPS: I had flashed CWM 6.0.2.3 on 6.0.1.9
-Thanks!

try /mnt/shell/emulated/

emulated doesn't exist in /mnt/shell/
Should I try reflashing the CWM?
I have storage/emulated/. Even that doesn't contain cwm folder though.
So weird.

No; it'll be there somewhere. Poke around.
Are you sure ES file Explorer is set to allow / (root) exploration?

Root Explorer wasn't enabled x_x. Sorry, first android ever! Haha!
Yes, now I can see clockworkmod/backups in the mnt/shell/emulated. Thanks a million.
Emulated folder contains almost all the folders/files that are present on my SD Card. Could you explain what is emulated folder though and why isn't the cwm folder just stored in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups? I have a nexus 4.
And off topic but: after I take a nandroid backup, I should probably save it on my computer right? And of course, that begs another question. How can I find this file through windows explorer?
Further, how do I manually explore paths (by typing it in) on the android. Or do I have to keep changing home directory in settings?
Sorry for so many question. I know what its like to having to answer to noobs

You can't use Windoze explorer AFAIK.
I use adb. Since you've rooted your phone... adb must be set up. Open a command window in Windows (run cmd -w) (I don't use Windoze so you're on your own a bit here) and type
Code:
adb shell
You then can use 'ls' and 'cd <directory>' to see what's there and move around.
You'll probably want to use 'adb pull <foldername>' at some time to get the backup onto your PC. Google around for adb commands. I've spoon fed you enough to be getting on with.

Get rid of CWM and use TWRP. It's much better and stores backups in the proper location (virtual SD) which you can browse with Windows

Your clockworkmod backups will be in /data/media/clockworkmod

Yep, time for me to research on my own. Enough spoon feeding.
Instead of using commands, I just copy pasted the backup created by CWM to my sdcard using ES Root Explorer so that I could see it using Windows Explorer.
Will give TWRP a try in the future though.
The question about ES file explorer was, how can I explore the file system by typing in the path manually. For example, in windows you can manually type in the path in windows explorer and it will take you there.
EDIT:
The copying thing doesn't work. I think I will have to flash TWRP.
EDIT 2:
Tried again and it DID WORK!!! (the copying thing) Using TWRP is obviously easier though.

With Nexus 4, Google have seen fit not to implement a USB browsable file system.
It seems to be the trend for Android. I don't think TWRP will help much.
The only way to 'easily' get stuff is to master adb. Although in linux there's this.
Perhaps someone else has a Windoze alternative.

CWM Recovery Issue

I have been reading about how people (including myself) are having issues mounting the SD card with CWM Recovery 6.x.xx and I was wondering where (if it exists) I can find an earlier version for my Nexus 4. The problem I am having is when my phone is connected to my computer, I cant find the Clockwork Mod file to remove the backup from the device. I have the 8GB N4, so I really want to remove it, put it somewhere safe and not have it take up precious space.
If anyone has any thoughts or other solutions, please let me know. I am also having the same issue with TWRP2 (cant mount while in recovery).

Just download Astro file manager from the Play Store and find the backup and delete it. You can also delete the backup from in recovery as well.

I have Root Explorer and can't find the folder on my /sdcard. If I could, I could take the backup and move it, but it doesn't seem to be visible.
I have been thinking, do I need to be rooted to be able to access the folder, or see it for that matter?
And as a side note, I tried TWRP2 and I can see the folder with backups made.

I had this same issue as I'm using CWM 6.0.2.0. For whatever reason, they changed the saved backups location to /data/media/clockworkmod now so you can't access it by plugging in your phone because the backups aren't on the sdcard. That's also the reason you can't find it. To my knowledge, you can do two things to get them to your computer:
1. Use ADB to pull the clockworkmod folder to your computer. I still haven't completely figured out how to do that yet as I don't screw around in ADB shell too much and I'm not sure if you have to mount the filesystem before doing it. I'm sure if you search around, you could find the ADB solution.
2. (This solution sucks but it works...) If you have a file manager (like X-plore) and root access, you can copy the contents of /data/media/clockworkmod folder to the sdcard location on your phone. Once it's there, THEN you can access that copy when it's plugged into your computer. Then just get rid of the .nomedia file in the folder and move it from your sdcard to your PC. Simple but takes forever for the files to copy depending on how many backups your moving and how big your blobs folder is.
If someone knows a better way, I'm definitely all ears. Really don't like how they changed CWM to this new style. Makes it a pain to offload backups from your phone to your PC.

You have an option in cwm uder the backup menu to remove the backups or unused data. It works for me.

Didn't even know you could do that. I always just boot to CWM, never use the ROM manager app. That sounds like a paid feature or is it on the free version?
Edit: Yeah, it's a paid feature but I'm seriously considering going this route since it's so damn handy. If I can't figure out how to ADB it, I may just buy the premium version. Thanks bro.

He wants a copy of the backups on his PC before he removes them.

Sorry for my incomplete answer than. I found mine using a root explorer
/mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Thanks for all the great tips/answers/comments. I will see what I can do in terms of finding where the backup is stored on my phone now (since it seems there could be two places).
Cheers!!

Hatzy, you can pull the backups using insecure adbd by chainfire [app]. Otherwise, you can only pull sdcard. Or, i believe you can pull via the path /mnt/shell/emulated..

So, after doing some looking... I thiink my best bet is to use Rom Manager's new Download Server feature. I'll give it a try and let everyone know how it works out!!

Can't see all the files/folders in windows explorer

have a recently rooted nexus 4.2.2 and did a nandroid backup using clockwork recovery. clockwork stored it into a directory which i can't access by just plugging my phone to the usb cable of my pc. i do see folders, but not that particular folder. i have usb debugging option turned on also. i just wanted to transfer the backup files to my pc for storage. is there a way to do this? thank you.

You can't see it because windows can't access those folders. You can either move the backups using a file explorer to a folder windows can access, pull the files using ABD or if you have the paid version of ROM Manager you can download the files to your pc using a browser.

I figured it was something of that nature. However I have downloaded different file explorers including the es file explorer and I still can't see the folders on my phone even, not just pc. But when I boot into clockwork recovery and browse through there I can see those folders. I'm at a loss.

yes, i did that as well, but it still doesn't let me see the directories that i see in clockwork. the directories i'm talking about are in /sdcard.. they are
- 0/
- clockworkmod/
- legacy/
- obb/
the only ones i can see are 0/ and legacy/. if i go to 0/ i can see what i normally see in the pc windows explorer. there is also a folder called clockworkmod/ but it only contains the folder called download/ and a couple of files under 100kb.
also, when i'm viewing the folders in ES file manager the sdcard folder has a little shortcut arrow on it instead of a solid folder like most of the other ones.

I can't speak for the intricacies of Clockworkmod as I have never used it, but after doing either a TWRP backup or a Titanium backup on 4.2.2, I have always been able to copy and/or view these backup files using any of the following methods, as well as verifying that they are equivalent (Same exact number of files, same exact file sizes):
1) Copying the files from the Nexus 4 to Windows 7 64 bit Professional using Microsoft Windows Explorer.
2) Copying the files from the Nexus 4 to Windows 7 64 bit Professional by performing an "adb pull".
3) Viewing the files with the Android ES Explorer app (With the "Root Explorer" option turned on and changing the top directory to root or "/").
4) Viewing the files in TWRP.
I also use the full path to the files (when possible). As I recall, there were instances where not all the files were visible if I didn't use the full path. Replacing /0 with /legacy on Android 4.2:
TWRP BACKUP
/data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/<PHONE SERIAL# HERE>/<FILE BACKUP SUBDIRECTORY HERE>/
TITIANIUM BACKUP
/data/media/0/TitaniumBackup/
In fact I just performed all four of these methods a couple of minutes ago because I was originally having problems with Android 4.3 (Not all files being transferred over due to the known permission changes with 4.3), and I wanted to double check that everything is still working properly now. What solved all my issues with 4.3 was to update all my programs to “4.3 friendly” versions (You could see if this resolves your 4.2.2 issues as well):
1) Installed the latest version of TWRP.
2) Unrooted using the latest version of Superuser.
3) Installed the latest Android SDK and then ran the SDK Manager to insure everything was up to date.
a) Deleted my Windows driver and installed the latest Google USB driver from the SDK.
b) Used the new updated platform tools to perform fastboot, adb, etc.

the thing is i can't see the directories that the files are in. either in file explorer or in windows. i need to get more familiar with adb and maybe do it through that, but its strange because i should be able to see them in the explorer. so essentially i have a nandroid backup on my phone that i can't really access to move it or delete it. i can only access it through clockwork recovery. also, all the stuff i used is the latest versions i.e. sdk, drivers, etc.

Then I am at a loss if you tried all the things mentioned. If it is a permission issue, then adb should bypass that problem. The adb executable is located in the platform-tools subdirectory of the SDK. You run the "adb pull" command from a "Command Prompt" window while located in that directory. The nandroid copy will take quite a while, so wait until it is finished (For example, my latest one was 330 MB in size).
While the phone is in recovery, here are some examples of grabbing the TWRP and TITANIUM backup files and putting them into the directories TWRP_BACKUP and TITANIUM_BACKUP respectively (That I previously created) on the windows "C" drive. As before, you would probably be replacing /legacy for /0:
adb pull /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/<PUT SERIAL # OF PHONE HERE>/<PUT DATE OF BACKUP HERE>/ C:\TWRP_BACKUP\
adb pull /data/media/0/TitaniumBackup/ C:\TITANIUM_BACKUP\

Clockworkmod puts the backups in a secure system folder with the path mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup. In ES File Explorer hit the "/" at the top which will open up "device" and now you will see all of your system folders. Root Explorer is a simpler app to use as it only has two directory options, root and storage. I bought both apps a long time ago as I liked that ES File Explorer lets you connect to a lan to upload/download files through wifi.

all you need to do is go into your file browser on your phone and then move the file somewhere else while still connected to the pc.. should be good then

Copying Titanum backup folder to windows

I am trying to copy the contents of my Titanum backup folder to my computer by connecting my phone (LG G2 Running KitKat) to my pc via the usb cable that came with the phone and then enabling MTP transfer mode which works for the most part but when I explore the Titanum backup folder from my pc, there are no files visible despite the fact that they are clearly visible when exploring the same folder from the phone itself so my question is what do I need to do to make these files show up on my computer as well so I can complete the transfer ? I am running windows 7 pro and have the correct drivers for the device installed on my computer and have root access it that matters at all.
TIA,
MTCell

Well that's something with tibu and what you need to do to get them to show up is move/copy them to another folder on your phone(sometimes I move emu from the new folder to another folder to get them to appear on pc)

Thanks, I just copied and pasted them to a new temp folder on my phone called "TIBU" and the files are now showing up in windows and transferring as I type this. I can then just delete the temp folder and have a copy on my PC as well as the original backup on my phone. Silly extra step, but it works. Thanks again.
