So i have twrp recovery and just flashed a cyanogenmod. Before flashing, i did a back up on sd-card. Now, I want to restore to my original rom and twrp can't find the backup file. I looked in sd storage and there is no folder called twrp, 0 and nothing in data. Anyone can help?
I'm thinking you saved it to your sd-card which is your internal memory and not to your extsd-card which is your removable card. Maybe before flashing cm you wiped your data and erased. In your recovery you want to make sure you change the save path to extsd-card.

Regarding Nandroid and apps I backed up with Titanium, do those remain on the phone when you wipe to install a new ROM or do you have to put those on your computer and replace them after you wipe?

The backups are kept on your SD card, not your internal storage. So as long as you only wipe your internal storage, the backups etc will remain.
Thanks so much!

Actually, I just looked at my SD card and no backups are there, just the movie that came with the phone.

He's wrong nandroid backups done in Clockwork are stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/....
I was actually wondering the same thing...

They are actually contained in the internal storage card but you can specify a diff directory in your external sd card if you prefer, it can be changed in your settings.
Either way they standard wipe only effects the section off the internal storage used by your phones system/data n apps and will not effect the internal storage you put in the"root" folder /sdcard, more specially in your case /sdcard/titaniumbackups (titanium) or/sdcard/backups/apps (astro) should survive.... Nandroid restores, flashes through clockwork of new roms and manual wipes of system, cache or data shouldn't hurt your astro or titanium backups.
Any full reformat of the card or as I understand it reflashing back to stock 2.1 with odin will kill your nandroid restore points but I don't know what effect that level of reflashing will have on your backups but when in doubt back up to a computer is never a bad idea.

Okay, I have yet to get mine, but will in a day or two (the Nexus 7) lol. I wanted to know if I installed TiBuPro on my N7, and needed to do a full wipe/factory reset or whatever when I am installing a custom ROM, will the TiBuPro backup be deleted since the backups will be stored on the internal storage since there is no external SD slot? I use TiBuPro on my One V just fine since it has an external SD card, but was worried if I follow steps to flashing custom ROM's and such, since the storage is internal, and wipes wipe everything if I will lose my backups?
That's a damn good question Freak, to be on the safe side I would just do the backup and then drag & drop the sdcard/TitanuimBackup folder to a computer.

Once you understand the way nexus 7 works with storage you will understand more. Im not best person to explain. so .
As long as you do not format or delete /data/media your ti backup goo manager files roms and everything else there will still remain.. The cwm/ twrp skip erasing these directories (fake sd card so to speak) . I have installed many roms with few issues..
You can also use otg storage. Go into ti backup and set the default backup folder on a otg device.. same with twrp backup files.. Just plug in the device before you run either of the programs . with twrp to use otg for me anyway.. you have to boot into recovery . plug in the device reboot recovery and it will show up...
SO Simple answer is yes you can use TI BACKUP Just fine .. just know what to not format in recovery..
So I flashed a 4.2 ROM yesterday, twice because there were problems the first time.
I then found that the contents of my SD card had been placed in a folder called 0, which was also placed in a folder called 0.
I wanted to do a nandroid restore to go back to PA but there was no package in Restore. The backup was in the 0 then 0 file. I copied and pasted TWRP from there and managed the backup.
So now I have PA running again, and all is well, apart from the fact that my SD card is two folders down in 0 then in 0.
Hope this makes sense.
What can I do to get back to the proper setup?
Thanks for any help!
I'm just taking a guess here, the double 0s could be because you flashed the ROM twice.
The 0 otoh is most probably for multiuser support. User count starts from 0.
/data should have also been affected.
This should be the correct setup afaik. Tools like CWM recovery should be updated for these changes.

I guess my only solution is to flash the Nexus 7 image back and then re-root and flash my custom ROM again? Sounds like a lot of work!
Edit: The other solution I can think of is to copy and paste the contents of my SD card using my PC, and then delete the two 0 folders. Would that work?
Bump?

Give your second idea a shot, if it doesn't work then maybe doing a factory reset, wiping everything, flashing PA and restoring your apps via Titanium or whatever. Then just pick media/docs out of your SD backup. If you do need to push a factory image Wug's toolkit is great. That's my two cents, for what they're worth (2ยข).
Just rebooted my phone (rooted s4 w/ twrp recovery, stock rom) and it said that my sd card failed (64 g samsung pro) and would I like to re-format. So I did.
Which obviously erased all data. That is where my nandroid backup WAS.
So, I did another nandroid on both the newly formatted sd card AND one on the internal memory. This obviously ate up alot of precious space on the phone.
Any advise or input would be welcome.
Will it just get deleted from the internal, when I flash a new rom?
Thanks

Only if you format data. ... I believe

As a precaution, I'd highly recommend backing up your nandroids to either your computer, or to the cloud (or both).
If you choose to backup to cloud, from my experience: box didn't work for me (because of the individual file size being too large - had to use copy or dropbox)
Edit: Oh, and the next time you have the same issue with phone recommending a reformat, try to unmount, and mount it again. (throw a reboot into the mix if that doesn't work) - it solved the "bad sd card" issue when I had it.
I am running stock rom on Android version 5.0. I have rooted and installed T WRP recovery. After I did a backup through TWRP to my internal phone storage, I cannot find the folder where the backup is stored yet my file manager shows is that the storage has been used.
Secondly, I put in a SD card and performed another backup (storing it to the sdcard). After TWRP completed that backup was able to find the folder for it easily using my file manager. I still cannot find the location of the first backup that I did. And it's taking up 10 gigs worth of space on my phone's internal memory.
Has anyone else had a problem with TWRP?
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Any input would help. Thanks.

Should be in twrp folder. Just if you can't find it, enter recovery and delete the backup in internal storage. Just keep the 1 in external.
