i just got atrix .I am coming from nexus one so i backed it up everything with titanium. Switch sd card to atrix and titanium hasnt found any back up files. checked with astro and titanium folder on sdcard is empty. i switched sdcard back to nexus and all files are there. i noticed even more files in different folders are not showing in atrix.
can anyone give me head up what's all about? ideas? thanks
in titanium backup you need to change the location of the backups to /mnt/sdcard-ext/titaniumbackup
by default it points to the onboard storage /mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup or the symlink /sdcard/titaniumbackup
+1 on this. Almost updated after backing up to the internal SD.
You need to redirect towards the external sd card.

I was confused for the first few days when I would tell an app to backup its settings on the sdcard and then later they couldn't be found. I just realized that HTC has the internal memory mounted as /sdcard and the MicroSD card mounted as /sdcard/ext_sd/
This is a great idea IMO and I always wished it was this way on my Incredible. I always hated how on my Droid and my Incredible that all my settings files were crapping up my sdcard instead of the internal memory (which I rarely ever used for storing stuff), it made it a pain to find things when you were placing the MicroSD card in other devices since you had to hunt through all the settings folders.
The more I use this phone the more I like it.

Direct link is sdcard2
This messed with me for a lil while. I was trying to restore backups of my launchers and other stuff.
Had to mount it on my comp and move needed files to the internal sd and left other junk on ex sd.
now im rocking 7gb internal and ~20gb external. wtf am I going to do with all this space?
I'm not a fan of it by any means. I think they should have made internal SD2 and let the actual SD card be sdcard. Titanium saves everything to the internal memory now because of its name, which is stupid. And I don't see anywhere to change the directory Ti saves to, just the folder name. So anytime I do a backup, I have to copy the folder from internal memory to the SD card. I'm not sure what else is performing the same actions, hopefully not everything else.
This also really complicated folks like me with Exchange accounts that require encryption of your card. Since the internal memory is now listed as a sd card it encrypts the internal drive too stopping others programs from writing to it

Only think I have been able to figure is everything is saved to the internal sd and you have to manually move it to the extra sd.
Imagine all the people that arent tech savy. They are going to fill up the internal and think they have no more room.

1st, make sure that whatever from Titanium that is on /sdcard is moved over to /sdcard2 then in Titanium:
Press Menu button, scroll down to Backup Folder Location and press that. Press "DETECT!" and then press "WHOLE DEVICE" It should locate the spot on /sdcard2. After choosing that, press "Use the current folder" and you should no longer have to manually move stuff from internal to external.
What I have yet to try on this phone is to move my apps and pictures to the internal "sdcard" then use a program like "MyBackup Pro" to run scheduled App, Photo, and Data backups to the External card (I don't believe Titanium will backup your photos which is why I say use that). That would mean that not only would my apps, pics and data be stored in its own partition internally, but I would have a true redundant backup location in case my phone craps the bed.
I'm running 3.7.5 and don't see any option for Detect, all I can do is change the name.

You can change the Titanium backup directory (you'll have to do it during temporary root). I did and pointed it back to where my backup files were on the SD card that had been in my Incredible. It's possible it's only available with the paid Titanium version (but that is an app I didn't mind paying for).
Hey guys, I just noticed that my Titanium Backups are stored in sd storage as opposed to the ext. Sd storage? What did I do here?
Have you tried going to Preferences | Backup folder location | Press back button and look for:
/mnt/extSdCard
and look for your Titanium Backup directory?
edit- you have to "Reload application" in TB for the changes to kick in. I just confirmed this on my rooted GS3 with backups made using a GS2.

Mine are stored in /mount/sdcard instead of /mount/extsdcard, when I go to preferences to change it, it won't allow me to "write files to this location? The only thing on my external sd card storage is my camera folder with my pictures in it? But I forgot to put the sd card in my phone until a couple of days after I had it, but I can't imagine that has anything to do with it? Also, I'm only using an 8gb card, but it has 7.39 of 7.40gb available?
Hello Folks!
i just bought a 32gig micro sd card for my S3. inserted it, formated. everything goes well. but now i have problem. is there anyway to change the settings of touchwiz, so it downloads and installs all apps on the external sd ? and how do i change the backup location in titanium backup ? titanium backkups take up quite some space, so it would be great if they can be stored AUTOMATCALLY on the external SD. Btw S3 is rooted.
Thanks Guys
Titanium Backup
Go on menu, then Preferences
Then Backup Settings, Backup folder

For the first problem you have go to the mods section and search for internal sdcard to external sdcard..you will get a zip which will toggle the memories so that your internal memory will be shown as external and vice versa ..all the apps will then be stored on the external sdcard

Hi,
Since I have similar issues and more, I jump in with my own questions...
It seems that my ext sd card is only partially recognized. For instance, Rom Manager does not see it, so when I want to install a zip file from Rom Manager, it will only browse for the zip file within the internal as card. I can however browse through the ext sd card from Recovery.
I can also reach my zip file stored in the ext card with ES file explorer, click on it and open it with Rom Manager to install it straight away...
When I do a nandroid backup, I get a message during the backup process stating something like "no ext card found"
I'm just wondering how the ext sd card can be recognized in any situation? Could this relates to how I formatted it? I did a standard formatting with my Windows 7 PC, so it was fat32 (or fat).

I have the same problem with my Galaxy s, but my memory card isen't being used. Like cmd, pictures, backups all saves in the phone. My phone made the internmemory as the sdplace. How can i make everything be in my real sdcard and not in the internmemorysd?

I just picked up a sd card today for my s4. The question I had was can I just copy all the folders and files that apps have created on the internal SD card over to the external sd card without any issues from the apps that created them? ie twrp, titanium backup etc.

Titanium backup has an option in preferences to change the folder it reads. Twrp should have a restore from ext sd option, I cant say for sure though because im a cwm user. Some data will have to stay on the internal sd card for it to be read properly or you have to use an app like folder mount to move the data.
If I helped you hit that thanks button please. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
I had a rooted S5 with Alliance Rom, and just got an S9+. When backing up my data, specifically for an app called Podcast Addict, I exported a backup from within the app, and it stored on the SD card. Podcast Addict was installed on the external sd card, and it exported a .backup file and a .json file to /android/data/{App Name} on the external sd. I could have sworn that I moved it out of that directory or shared it to google drive, but apparently I did not.
I also had Titanium Backup installed, and I can't remember what directory it stored backups in, but it was somewhere on the external sd card.
I moved the card to the S9+ and went to import the backup file, and there were no files that looked like the backup file on the SD card. I also no longer see the Titanium Backup folder.
Does the /android/data folder get overwritten when inserting the sd card into a new phone, even if it's an external sd card, and the app isn't installed there on the new device?
On a non rooted phone that folder is not accessible as it is a system lvl folder as well as titanium backup will not work as well as it requires root as well. your best to put your sd back in your old device and use a program such as my backup pro to backup apps to be restored you will not be able to restore any kind of data for apps that are not linked to the playstore or game data that is linked to something such as Facebook or google play games no folders should be overwritten but android/data/app name are usually device specific to whatever device the app is on
