Hi everyone,
I found twrp backup on my Redmi note 4g at data/media/twrp/backup/.... It's tooks my internal root memory storage abt 1.00gb+ I found when I searching for dump files coz my device running out of storage ,some cleaners shows my misc files has 1.00 gb+ .so I browsed all folders with root explorer (es file ex).
Note:I deleted all my backups from official location of custom recoveries(twrp,philz) from SD & ext SD card.
My question is if I delete those backup files my mob will brick?
Sorry for my poor english
You should bapckup to external sd card. You can delete your twrp backup files without problems.

hi all,
can someone upload a backup of internal sd card i.e. all the files in that are located in my files -> all files
if your storage is very big leave the android folder.
I formatted /sdcard and lost all s note templates and samsung ringtones and pics which I used as wallpaper.
Upgrading via kies restored everything

Hi Folks
Just recently brought a 64GB SDXC card for my S4.
with only a measly 9gb free space on the internal memory I brought the SD card to move items such as my nandroid and titanium backups as well as photos and other media.
I managed to move the nandroid backups ok however I also run a daily Titanium backup which still writes to the local memory. I have changed the path to point to a folder on the SD card but it fails to write to this area.
At this moment in time I dont want move Apps to SD just the other bits as this will allow me to recover about 3/4GB of space.
Does anyone know how I can force titanium backup to move or write new files to the SD card location?
Thanks
Follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524277 to make your card writable, then copy your Titanium backup folder over, and run the Titanium to set the default backup location.
I'm trying to do the same by enable RW permission for the externalSD but ended corrupted my system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. Appreciate if anyone can send me the file.
Thanks.

Got the file from the previous link. Thanks.
I was recommended a app to download called FolderMount which would do this for me, I have to say since I have used this it found an issue with my SD card and fixed it automatically, then pointed Titanium back to the SD card and it now works fine..
Something to consider..
Hi everyone,
I just received my brand new TN7. I rooted and installed CWM by using Pac's Super Tool and made some backups (and restore) of my differents mods.
Till then everything is ok exept when I tried to save my backups to my PC.
I think I looked everywhere on SD0 and SD1 but no traces of my backups. Where are they?
I'm not so new on android (Phones, tablets, other devices,...) and on each device the backups were visible on SD0/SD1.
Someone can explain me where to find them?
Hello.Tegra note is mounted as media device mtp or camera ptp,thats why you dont see all files when looking thru pc(device connected to pc).Copy backups to sd card in tablet and insert card to pc.I think your backups are on internal storage(main storage) in cwm folder.

I use ES-Explorer (in root mode) on my tablet and I see no folder containing cwm backups. Does it use a special mount?
Hello.try using root explorer.mnt-sdcard-cwm.
First of all... I wanted to start this post off by saying yes, I know I'm an idiot.
Now that that's out of the way....
A few weeks ago, I got so excited to flash a custom ROM, that somehow when I ran TWRP and backed up my system to the external SD card, I also wiped my external SD card. Because I'm an idiot. I don't know how or why it happened really. I just know it did.
I had previously saved EVERYTHING to my external SD card, thinking that was the safest place for the data... and now the past two years of my life documented in photographs are gone.
I have tweaked out on running custom phone software since the days of the original Razr and flashing Alltel firmware on it... and this is the first major screw up I've ever done.
Now... does TWRP back up that data somewhere, somehow? Or is it just system data/apps that get backed up? If TWRP didn't save it somewhere, is there possibly somewhere that the contents of my external SD card were MOVED upon installation of the custom ROM?

You should never store your sole backup copy on the same device as is being backed up as you probably realize now.
Anyway, it's not clear from your post if you were storing a redundant copy of your backup on your external SD card or if you had configured TWRP to use your external SD card as the primary folder and therefore sole backup copy. The default location is usually /data/media/0/TWRP. Try a search for TWRP folders using a root aware file browser. With any luck you will find a backup on your internal SD card.
If not, then the only way to recover would be to try a data recovery program on your external SD card. Unless you do Google /cloud backups as well?
.
Recuva does most of the work well, and there is an option to restore the directory structure too if you poke around in the settings. Puran File Recovery works where Recuva did not in recovering some images and videos.
Both I have tried after an accidental format of the SD card from the phone settings.
They are both free desktop software.
Important to take not not to copy any files over to the affected card, or even your recovered files as well. Only do so when you are sure you have recovered all that you can onto a desktop folder.

The second scenario is what I believe I did. And I think when it created the backup, it wiped the external SD to suit it's needs. Problem being that the Nandroid backup wanted 6 gigs ish of space, and I had 4.5 or so remaining on the internal SD.... don't know what stuff I had on there... but *shrug*

Thank you for the tip. I will try both of these. I think the nandroid backup wrote over the areas on the SD where the pictures were stored. You'd think it would pick the empty space before the occupied space... but I guess since it wiped it clean prior to backing up, it was ALL empty space. *sigh*
Thank you both very much for your help.
As the title says neither TB nor TWRP will recognize my SD card, the backup on it respectively. I made a Nandroid-backup with TWRP 3.0.2 on my Z3C, put the SD card into my XC and tried to restore from said Nandroid-backup but TB doesn't even recognize the SD card. Says there is no TWRP folder/backup on it. But there definitely is. I can see it in the browser. I also copied it to my internal storage and from there I could access it without problems.
Weirdly enough TWRP also doesn't recognize the backup folder. When I select to restore and select my SD card there is no backup to choose from. I'm using TWRP 3.1.1 on my XC.
Phone is rooted and running the latest fw 34.3.A.0.217 with Genesis kernel 1.05-nondrm
Is the backup faulty or could it be because of some incompatibilities with the kernel?
Backup a file so TB makes a new folder then copy your the contents of your backup into it and try again and you need to select your SD card in TWRP.
I backed everything up with TWRP to my SD card. The folder is there, as are the files.
TB just doesn't recognize my SD card at all. It only recognizes my internal storage, but not my SD card.
When I copy the TWRP backup from the SD card to the TWRP folder on my internal storage I can restore from Nandroid backup.
But I think that the backup is faulty too, because after restoring contacts and messages to test it the apps crash. When I open the telephone app it crashes and says "android.process.acore" has been closed. It says the same when I open the messaging and contacts app but the messaging app doesn't crash.

I was talking about TB and what I've done in the past after restoring my Phone to get TB to recognize my files. Browse through a few pages of the TWRP threads, I'm sure I've seen similar issues reported about the SD.

A common solution to this problem is to 'Clear Cache' of affected apps in their App Info / Storage dialog.

Yes, I have restored data+cache. Maybe that's what caused the errors. Weird thing is, no messages were restored except the drafts I didn't send but saved.

I've read somewhere that since 4.4.4 TB cannot read/write a partition it wasn't installed on. Did you mean that? To create a TB folder on the SD card so TB will have access to the SD card?
Edit: ok, so I tried this method
Code:
create a folder on the external sdcard,using the following folder-structure:
/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
If you already have existing backups, move them with a file-explorer from their current place to:
/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
Lastly, go to the preferences of TitaniumBackup, choose “Backup folder location” and choose the above specified folder.
Finish.
And it does kinda work. I do now have access to my SD card via TB. But it still says there is no TWRP folder on it. I even copied the TB backup to the TWRP folder and the TWRP folder to the TB folder. No luck.
Also TWRP doesn't recognize the TWRP backup I created on the SD card even though it recognizes the card itself.
If you copied files to computer:
It adds .zip extension to tar.gz files
And .txt extension to properties files
That's why program cannot recognize them.
U should delete that extra additions from file names
