When I try to backup all things in the twrp recovery (3.1.1 official) then I face some error like "Backup data do not include any files in internal storage such as pictures and downloads" so can you tell me how to fix this issue??

I was performing a nandroid backup with CWM recovery but I keep getting
no /sdcard/.android_secure found Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Dose it mean if i try to restore this backup I'll loose my all applications?
I don't know how to fix it.
Someone who have nexus4 please provide me .android_secure file
My phone information
Nexus4
Stock Kitkat 4.4.4 with
Xposed installed
I flashed my i9500 with TWRP 2.8.1.0 using Odin and it wrote an undeletable backup onto my internal memory. To get rid of that, I backed up the "BACKUPS" folder and formatted the internal storage only for it now to cause the entire internal storage to be write protected to my android apps. I can copy and delete stuff to it through PC but my apps wont work, those that require to download pics and videos or make backups to the internal storage, web browsers can't download anything to the internal storage yet I now have over 7GB free space.
It's clear TWRP is write protecting the internal storage selectively (first it wrote protected the storage to both the phone and pc, now to the phone only). How should I sort this problem out?
I have also just tried using root explorer to change permissions to the internal storage but it doesn't work. It's failing. Titanium backup shows its own backup folder is unwrittable. It cannot be changed by Root explorer
I just tried fixing permissions in twrp but to no avail. I uninstalled Clean master only to try and re-install it and it won't install now, it gives a failed install error. Kingsoft office continually shows "stopped working" and fails to work completely. All this started with flashing Twrp. I can't view pics in whats app or send them, neither can I edit documents. Any help to rid of this issue will be gladly appreciated.
People please please avoid twrp at all costs!, i have now lost all my data and apps are all failing. I deerly deerly regret why i ever flashed twrp recover in the first place!
I seem to have solved the issue after a very grueling experience.
TWRP has its flaws and it is quite notable here. Here is how I have gotten around the issue:-
Immediately after I installed TWRP I made a system backup of the entire phone as of its state at the time.
I copied it to my pc and tried to delete the backup that TWRP had made. It was completely write protected, nothing could delete it.
I then decided to use TWRP to format my internal storage after backing it up. Then restore the data back which I did successfully.
Little did I know what had happened. TWRP had assigned the internal storage attributes that even Root explorer (paid) could not undo.
The internal storage had become unusable to the system and user apps.
Slowly my apps began to collapse one after the other failing. From frustration I tried to salvage the data the apps held at the time so that I can factory reset and restore but Titanium backup could not access its own folder. That's where all the frustration begun.
I later flashed CWM and accidentally formatted all my data instead of the data partition.. this was now hell.
One last try which was about 5 hours later I returned TWRP recovery, wiped the data partition and got hold of my prior backup with TWRP, restored it and am 9 hrs back from total loss of data. So the internal storage now has its initial attributes prior to the predicament.
Am actually back exactly to where all this mayhem began when I decided to delete the "BACKUPS" folder and there was absolutely nothing else that was wrong, which now I will attempt to delete hoping that I won't experience deja vu.
This is a problem worth reporting to TWRP developers and I don't know how
TWRP recovery Fix Permissions
I couldn't delete back ups from the internal storage at all. I couldn't even copy saved back ups from my pc to my Note 3. I went into TWRP recovery, under Advanced select Fix Permissions
Now I can delete folders in the TWRP main folder with a ES file explorer or on my PC via usb cable.
Never had any problems like this with TWRP on my S4+. For me the backups taken and its folders can be handled just fine, copied, deleted, moved etc. Must be som compatibility issue with your setup.
I’m getting “CreateTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255 Backup Failed” on my BTV-W09 using the greatslon TWRP US version while doing a backup. I’ve tried internal storage and external SD card. Haven’t tried an external USB drive yet though. Flashing SuperSU worked fine with this TWRP, I did get the error about the 3rd modem but this may be because this is a Wi-Fi only device? I’m going to try it again and then try pulling the recovery.log to see if this gives some indication of the failure. Is anyone else receiving this error?
I received this error last night in my data section as I was creating a nandroid backup in my preparation to install the xposed framework. I was backing up to the external SD card and what fixed it for me was to delete the existing TWRP directory and make sure compression was not checked. After that the backup completed successfully. I did receive the 3rd modem error, but like you, I believe that is due to not having a cellular modem (WiFi only). I also received an "unable to unmount system" error at the very end, but I don't think that is any cause for concern.
Thanks for the feedback johe. I checked the recovery logs and the backup was failing on different files each time on the data partition. So I added a larger SD Card and the backups work now. So turns out it was just a space issue. The backups take a lot more space than what I thought originally, presumably for caching.
Two problems -
1. Whenever I try to make a system backup and wanna write it to the sd card via TWRP, it always fails. I get the error 'backup failed. Cleaning backup folder'. Just this and no error code. However if I back it up to the internal storage, it works just fine. Also I'm rooted btw.
2. After backing up, I cannot move/access the TWRP folder created in the internal storage. As you can see in the screenshot, whenever I tap on the TWRP icon, I get that error popup. And I've granted superuser permissions to es file explorer.
guys please help!! this is the error im getting on TWRP
Hey Guys,
I deleted Data in twrp and now there's nothing left in the internal storage than the twrp folder. So no system folders like /system, /music etc. I tried to flash two different roms. First there was an error occurring about the missing /system folder. Second time it worked without error message. But the ROM still won't load. And if I connect to the PC in the internal storage of the phone there's still only the twrp folder, no system folder and stuff.
So any hints how I can get the system working? I'm using twrp 3.3.1-0 and as os I tried lineageOS 16
Thx a lot
Sebastian
Can you try to press "Format Data" in the Wipe menu? Don't press Advanced Wipe and don't swipe to factory reset.
If it doesn't work you can try "repair or change file system" in Advanced Wipe
