is TIBU checking /mnt/sdcard or /mnt/sdcard-ext?
i had to point ultimate backup to the latter, as my backups were on my sd card and not the device's internal storage. sort of wonky that it uses a different mount point :/

This.
Most of the time apps tries to read /mnt/sdcard. But that's not the case with the Droid Razr.

I went from HTC Desire to this Motorola Attic bad boy.
There are a few apps with data I want copied over, which I backed up on my Desire. I rooted my Atrix. But it doesn't see my backups.
Is it even possible to do this, or are my backups only compatible with the Desire, or what?

i brought my backups from my captivate over to my atrix. some of the apps didnt carry over the settings, but that wasnt a big deal. did you copy your titaniumbackup folder from the old phone to the new phone?
When you copy the backup files to the new phone, there is an option in titanium to reset the application...this will find the files and allow backup

Yep. You could also get the pro version that allows you dropbox backup.

Very confused. I am having the same problem. I got a new phone today (upgraded from G2 to G2x)
I inserted my old SD card, rooted my phone, installed TBUpro (latest from market,) went to backup/restore and there are no backups there. I tried restoring all apps and data anyway. It said it was successful. But nothing changed on my new phone. (Of course I rebooted and verified the SD card is being read.)
All of my backups are in the default folder of the SD card where TBUpro placed them (with the old phone.) I'm supposed to copy them somewhere else?
For now I've given up and am having App Brain reinstall all of my apps, and Google restore my personal info. I'd still love to have my system settings and whatnot restored by TBU though. WTF?

I just saw that too..
I brought most of my apps over from my MT3GS with TiBu. The only one I really had an issue with was Angry Birds, no matter how I restored it, it would force close. I'm thinking some kind of architecture difference.
Also watch what cross platform system settings you restore. I finally figured out restoring my old wireless ap info is what b0rked my wifi.
Hi... the phone needs to be rooted, but also needs sideloading enabled.

Yes, or change the backup location by pressing menu, preferences. Use detect to locate sdcard-ext this is the removable micro sd card.

This did it. You need to go inside Titanium Backup. hit MENU key -> Backup Folder location --> Hit the DETECT! button. Then choose the desired location (it will you all the backup locations available.)
So I have an HTC rezound and before I start rooting my phone i wanted to back it up however I use a mac and the HTC sync does not work. Is there any way for me to backup my rezound on my mac?

Do you want to just backup your sd card? If so all you have to do is plug it in and click disk drive and it will pop up as if it's a jump drive. Make a folder and copy your contents in that folder and you're good. Also HTC storage will pop up too, if you have anything in there back that up in another folder and you should be good. Just make sure to eject both and not just disconnect it.

I think MyBackupPro works without being rooted.
Will backing up the SD card backup my contancts and apps and stuff or will that all be on the phones internal memory?

No, it won't. But your contacts should be synced to your google account and you can just redownload your apps.
MyBackup kinda works without root, but not well.
Before I sent my phone off for repair I did a full backup of Apps and Data. Now my phone is back and I'm trying to restore but am unclear how to do this. In TB I don't see anywhere that allows me to choose to restore from where I backed up to. What am I missing?

I hope you still have the backups created by titanium backup with you... Because there is a very good probability that when u sent your phone for repair they formatted everything... If not
Open TB app, press the menu key and open batch option.
In the restore column there wud be an option to restore you apps.... If not then the backups have been deleted!!! You will have to manually install them again... Srry

TiB backs up to /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup so you must have the SDCard you originally backed up to inserted or it won't know where to look.

From "Preferences", set your "Backup folder location" to the folder having your old backups. After that, go to "Backup/Restore" tab. Now, you can find all of those old backup entries. Either restore them individually or use "Batch" from menu.
That's it!
Perfect! That's exactly what I was looking for - thanx!

I'm not too sophisticated in all this stuff, not sure if/how to do this. I have a rooted Droid Razr Maxx, stock ROM (wanted to be able to tether without monthly fee). When I upgraded from my original Droid, I copied the sd and put the new one in the Razr. This sort of worked, but left the new 32gb card partitioned, with 8gb read as "sd card", the rear as "ext-sd card". The 8gb filled quickly, and I can't download much, even though I have a lot of space on the card. I have been backing up with Titanium Backup, hoping I can use it to fix this. I also purchased a Sandisk 64gb card, which I read (and it claims on the package) is comparable/formatted foe Android. Can I use the 64gb card, then put everything back with TB (and how)? Do I have to reformat the 32gb card instead, then get everything back on it with TB (and how)? Or do I just have to redownload apps, copy media to PC, then replace, without an easy route through TB? I'd appreciate any help, thanks.
I accidentally booted into the bootloader earlier today when trying to boot into recovery. Well me trying to be fast, accidentally highlighted the Factory Reset instead of Recovery and lost everything that was stored on my internal memory. Was wondering if a program like Easeus Data Recovery would work to recover some of the things I lost.

I'm pretty sure your files are gone

Deleting files from a linux system is much different then on a windows system... Hate to say it but your files are gone
This is like the r00t user on a linux server executing:
# rm -Rf /
You might want to check out Recova by Piriform, but Linux does a wipe, not place a delete marker on the file like Windoze. It's worth a try, but don't get your hopes up.
This is why frequent nandroids and Titanium Backups that are copied to your PC and/or flash drive are extremely important.
After learning "the hard way" once, you'll never forget to backup again, I'm sure.
It happens to all of us, and it is part of the learning process.
HTH!

You have to go in preferences in TB and set the backup location as sdcard2 and then it will be on the external sdcard. In twrp you have to select external storage and then it will save nandroids to the sdcard.

No I do have my TB and TWRP set up to save to my SD Card. What I was saying was I didn't know that you could use TB or make a nandroid to save stuff like pictures and videos that are stored on the internal memory. I thought it just made backups of installed programs, settings, ROM state....

how?
I'd recommend using root explorer to back up your pics from your internal mem. If you don't have the app I'd highly recommend it. You just choose the folder and create a zip of the folder and place it on your external sd and laptop/pc for safe keeping.

Is there any any any any any hope that my files are still there?
If I lose all the pictures I have then my heart might just rip in half.
So I replaced my Droid Charge with the RAZR and rooted it. I got titanium backup and still had all my old backup files in my SD card. Under the same folder "Titanium Backup" but it doesn't show them there in the app. Tried refreshing and all that. How do I get my old backups?

You need to specify which folder that Titanium Backup should use for it's backups.
Menu -> Settings -> Path to backup (Not sure as to what it says since I don't have english language)
I did that, still won't see my old backups.

Is TiBU looking at the right sdcard partition?
There can be a TiBU folder on both partitions. They are "sdcard" and "sdcard-ext" sdcard-ext is the actual physical sd card. sdcard is partitioned built-in storage. Or copy the folder over to the other card.
^^What he said^^
TiBu wants to backup and restore from my phones Sd card rather than the external so to restore after a reset I always have go into settings and redirect the path too the external

Sorry to butt in, but this happens to be in the field of my problem too. I wanted to flash a ROM yesterday, but also knew that TiBu provided the option to flash an 'update.zip' file with all your backups to eliminate the long restore process, can anyone confirm the exact approach to doing this with safestrap 3.05?
