Hey guy I was wondering how to properly backup using CWM instead of having to SBF flash. When i pressed backup i saw internal and external sd card and I'm curious of which one to backup incase I mess something up and need to restore to the point where I am now
Internal SDCARD....

Okay and how do you go about creating a new backup? just do it right over it?
because i heard that it takes up a lot ofspace
Shouldn't the real question be: why is this in the development section?...

think it creates another folder for the new backup... .What I do is, do the backup and move it to my external sdcard or copy it to dropbox or pc until need. The backup should be around 1.5GB...
nevermind..i got it
Does anyone know where the backups are saved to? I did a quick search but couldn't find it
Clockworkmod in the internal sdcard
Mine are saved in Clockworkmod folder on my external micro sd card
Moved to proper forum.
can anybody tell me how to enable sideloading so i can install CWM
i'm rooted with the OTA update

Am sure this has been answered but couldn't seem to find an answer So if it has provide the link please...
Anyway Am still using the 2gig sd card that my hero came with but wish to use a bigger card..The only issue is I use App2sd card... On WinMo there was never an issue you simply just copied all the data over to the new card a hey presto it worked. But with android it does seem that simply(nothing ever is) when using Apps2sd because of the dam partitions.. So my question is this how do I move EVERY THING over to a new sd card inc the partitions and the data within them???? I doin't wish to have to reinstall 300+ apps noiw that I have the phone after 2months FINALLY working properly..
regards
Lohtse

I installed Wuiu the other night and now when I try to restore a back up that I had previously had saved on my phone it just says "no files found" What did I do?! Did the ROM update my CWM and now the files are not compatible or what? If this is the case how can I find out which version of CWM i had and how can I get that back?
If I guess correctly, what happened is the sd cards are now mounted differently. You just need to find the backup directory with astro or some other root able file manager and move it to the correct sd card. I can't remember if the external is emmc or the internal one is. But whichever is which you just need to move the backup folder to the correct sd card. Sorry I can't give more detailed instructions, as I don't use wiui but if I remember right its based on cm7 file structuring.

In cwm, there should be two option to restore from. Go to backup and restore and then the third or fourth option down should be restore from internal.

While in CWM try both locations, cause Entropy and Siyah have it named differently.
Hey so when you make a backup in amon ra does it matter if you backup android secure sd or android secure internal sd?
Should i have only one checked or both or non? if one then which one?... thanks

You should check the one that has it located on your phone or just check both to be sure

thanks and also just curious what is in those folders anyway? short answer or long answer knowledge is good
umm i think its just backups of like your .apk data... dont quote me on that
.android_secure I believe the folder used if you install any apps to the SD card vs internal storage. Since we have 2GB internal, most likely you're not using it.
I have a rooted i9300 running Paranoid Android 4.1.2. My problem is when I use my root file explorer to move my nandroid back up made with rom manager to my external SD card and go look for it when I'm in recovery mode I get the message NO FILE FOUND when I select it. The title of the back up is there but apparently there is no file there!! I'm a touch confused as I have another SD card I keep all my ROMS on just to be safe and they were all moved there using the same root file explorer.
move the whole folder
I'll give it a try, cheers.

FAIL..!!! lol
I moved the whole folder again and it has made no difference!! majorly confused now.
Gonna just try and copy the folder and move the copy to my external SD card. Kind of defeats the purpose of what I was trying to achieve by having all my roms and back ups on my EX SD to keep space on my internal storage lol
Make a backup on Ext SD card then copy previous backup to the same location .
jje
To clear it up, try copying the whole clockworkmod folder, not the whole backup folder
Will give all of the above a try thanks folks.

I had started playing around with the Syhah Kernel and set up two different Roms (Omega and Darky) works very well however i ran out of internal memory.
with some investigation Clockworkmod was sucking up almost 5Gb so i deleted all my backups to find it still sitting around the 5GB mark deleted Rom Manager and Clockwork fully and got my memory back
Then re-installed Rom Manager and Clockwork, it still sits around the 2GB with one backup so was thinking
I love CWM because if I stuffup I can just reflash the phone back to a backup I guess similar to System Restore on a Laptop?
Why so hungry on Memory and whats a better solution?
Have you looked into 4ext?

Yes just did
Not compatable with the Galaxy S3
I like Clockwork but it would be far better installed and running off the external SD card?
i'm in the same case as you, siyah kernel and 2 different roms installed. Keep getting low storage messages etc with clockworkmod occupying 5.04GB in my system!.. anyone else has any idea?
Bit of common sense is in need here.. You have two roms of course a nandroid backup will take a lot of memory depending on what you have installed. It could be up to 3gb. if you want to make a back up make it no one is stopping you.
After you've backed up connect your phone to your pc and go into your internal or external memory card, depending on where you've backed up to.. Then find the folder Clockwork folder and click to go inside then backup and inside that backup folder there should be a folder with the date. Back that up to your pc..
Once done you know it is on your pc and if you want to restore just put that folder back into clockwork/backup and just restore simples..
The other option is to backup to your external card..
However if you have the new V6 cwm installed you want to backup the whole clockwork folder..
Yes correct you can move that backup file and I have tried that where the memory is used is with clockwork mod

I don't understand how clockwork recovery uses any space after i backup my folder on my pc i delete the whole clockwork folder. And it never comes back to waste any space. Unless i back up again..
