On this phone? Internal memory or sd card, what folder? Just rooted yesterday and just want to make sure it was created correctly.
they are stored in the sdcard>clockwork mod folder>backups
Thanks for the reply. I couldn't find it using androzip for some reason so I opened My Files app and found it in the extsd card folder. Does this name look correct 1970-01-01.00.00.13?
thats just a given file name, you could rename however you want so you can tell from different back ups you may have. I rename them using root explorer
It's a bug in CWM

It's a bug in clockworkmod recovery. I have it, too. As the other member said, you can simply rename it using most file explorers until such time when the bug is resolved.

The date is actually wrong in stock recovery too, so it's not necessarily a bug with CWM, but it is on the TODO list to try and fix.
I just posted a thread on this guys, but is this cwm okay for the T mobile gs3 also? It says lte versions, but I know Tmo isn't technically an LTE version?

By "LTE" they mean US variants, so it should work with your T-Mobile GS3.

Ah crap, I was just looking through my backups. I have 4 and didn't think the dates would be off. Now I don't know what is what. At least I know that the smallest one has to be my original one, right? I guess I can just make one now, rename it, and delete the rest except for the original one.

Just a footnote to your comment...
Not sure if this is true or not on the GS3, because I have not tried it, but on past variations of CWM on other phones, if I left a space in the name I would receive a MD5 mismatch error when trying to restore a backup.
Just a heads up...
it sotres them on the internal sd card instead of external. is there any way to change that or is it just the recovery I'm using?

Good question, I'm looking for the answer to this too... Or is there a way to soft link the /sdcard on the internal storage to point to the extcard? I don't like how I can't access the extcard while in recovery--or maybe I'm doing this all wrong
If you use Clockwork ROM Manager, it gives you the option in the setting of using external SD Card. Not sure of the would work for Nandroids backups

Mine is saved in /mnt/extSdCard/clockworkmod/backup.

Or there. The idea is that is stored in one of the storage places, internal or external

If you can verify the presence of a nandroid backup....created by CWM recovery ....then you may be able to use rom manager to restore the build. As they are compatible and made by the same developer. It's odd that you can't see the backup.
Can you see it from a file manager ?? Or can you move it ??? To a folder that is seen in recovery ???
Even if you can't access the file from the device ..you could use a PC and move it that way, then CWM could see it .
However, if you used some other method to create that backup ....then you must restore using the same method or application.
Worst case ....flash a fresh build and start again ...g
you could flash twrp recovery and see if it works with that
So just picked up my Note 2 this afternoon and already rooted and unlocked it thanks to the incredibly helpful tutorials on the development forum...
So I installed the SD card I had been using from my Xperia Play, after doing one last final TB, and am a little surprised to see that none of my backups are showing up in TB. I can see all the current apps installed, it's pointing to the right directory, yet nothing from my XP is showing as an available backup to restore. Is it just a compatibility issue between phones?
I'd like to restore some game data and some kik convo's... but if I can't I can't!
Thanks in advance!
Get TB to search the entire phone for the backup directory.

it could very well be that the OP thinks "sdcard0" is the microsd.
had the same issue and thought the same thing. Had the my microSD in my droid X and i just simply put it in my note 2 without formating so when i installed TiB the app ofcourse didnt detect the back up location i had for the DX so it created on in the sdcard0 file.
heres what i did hope it helps
go into Titanium Backup
click your menu button
select preferences
scroll to Backup Location folder
click your back button on the phone and stop at the /storage folder
there you will see "extSdCard" and "sdcard0" under it.
select ExtSdCard and HOPEFULLY you'll find your Titanium backup folder

I just had this issue after flashing a Rom. I had the correct backup location set and could see the backups in the folder, but under Restore they didn't show. Finally, figured out that there was a filter on by default and it was screening out all but System backups. I've never seen a filter affect this area before, only ever used it to filter under the Backup/Restore tab, not under the Check Mark list of options. When I changed the filter to ALL, then the backups magically appeared.
Hope this helps someone else, since this thread kind of went off track.

Best is to clear TB's cache from app manager and reopen to change the backup folder search to whole device.
TB recognized all the missing apps and i was able to restore after that.

Holy moses- yes this thread got off track, but i'm glad i kept scrolling and found your reply-
I had just gotten a new galaxy s6, rooted it, and though the tibu folder was absolutely full with all my old backups from the old phone, none appeared. It turned out to be a 'filter' issue, and just clicking the green "check" in the upper right corner, and all reappeared.
thanks- i was messing with this for hours before i found your reply
a simple rename did the trick
I just had an odd experience recently (as in yesterday) and this thread didn't help. however, I found something new that might help other ppl.
A brief background, I took a backup from my first S5 (now being utilized by my wife) then copied the files from the phone memory to the SD card. After setting up my second S5 (flashed then root process) copied the backup files from SD card to the phohe memory. But when I ran TB it can't find/detect the files, so meaning I wasn't able to restore anything. What's odd is I didn't experience this when I first setup my wife's S5, all went very smooth.
After many hours of digging I finally found a solution (in my case, at least). All I did was to rename all the backup files with extensions .gz.zip to .gz and wallah!
Hope this helps.

OMG Thanks so much this has been confusing me for days....
The difference with us as far as I can tell is that at some stage we used windows to copy our old backups to the new phone/SDcard...
And I assume the stupid MTP protocol is 'smart' and does some file conversion, in this case, adding .zip to the .gz files...
Anyway I wasn't about to rename 100 files, so I used 7zip to make one big .tar file from my original SDcard and copied that to the new Phone via windows and then used a phone app to decompress to my TIB backup folder...
Another NOTE: I copied them to /storage/external_SD/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/ to avoid any other permissions issues... (I am on Lolipop)

Hey everyone. So I wanted to try out the vanilla root box ROM today and after a while of checking it out I decided to swap back to the back up I made before doing the ROM install. Problem is, when I boot into recovery, and press restore...non of my backups are there. Can anyone help? Where did my back ups go?
ok, sorry guys, i was on my phone at a friends place when i posted this thread so i wasnt able to search to much on google. so the deal is my TWRP isnt seeing the backups i did after i rooted my note 2 and the backup i did before i flashed my vanilla rootbox rom. kinda weird. anyways, i looked thru my phone files with file manager and the backups are indeed there...
does anyone know where i need to move these files to have them show up under restore in TWRP? i tried one method of making another backup and then moving the backups to where the new backup was stored. but when i go to look, the new backup doesnt show in file manager in the location where TWRP said the backup was stored...i even searched for it and still no dice. lmk if you have a fix for this. thanks!
i also went into TWRP, went to advanced, file manager, data, media, twrp, backups, the back i was looking for was there.
i tried moving it to the media/0 location like mentioned in this youtube vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ziillAA-I
it doesnt let me copy the folder over like shown in the vid. waited like 3 mins, then says it failed. then wont even try after each attempt afterwards, just goes straight to fail....
WHAT THE DEUCE!?
Ima connect the phone to my laptop and see if I can locate the newest backup I made and see about moving the older ones to that location. Seen if they show up. If anyone knows the actual location or fix for this do let me know. Seems that the newest version of twrp was suppose to fix this but I guess not.
ok so i figured it out.
somehow the first couple stock backups i made ended up in the TWRP backup folder on the internal drive of the phone.
the new backup was stored in the TWRP backup folder on my SD Card.
so after finding both locations, i cut the two stock backups i made and pasted them into the SD Card TWRPs Backup folder and BAM! they show up now in my restore option on TWRP.
ok just to confirm, my first nandroid backup flashes correctly. but the backup i made before i flashed the vanilla rootbox rom some reasno fails...i dunno. im just happy i got my backups to show up now. and at least one works. ima try and get the one backup to work again but well see. hope this thread helps someone out if they are having this same problem.

Sorry I am late to the party... But in twrp at the top of the screen you can change where to get the backup from its a bar that says data(xxxx) however much space you have left.. Tap it and you can. Go from internal to external memory and search any folder. Doesn't have to be in the twrp backup folder either... Just for future references... Again sorry probably could have saved you time and effort if I saw this earlier.

Follow instructions in post 8.
For fellow googlers out there: if, like me, TWRP shows only the "internal storage" and the "SD card" options but you can't see any folder, even though your backup is there, check if it's the serial number of the phone! Your backup should be in TWRP/Backups/<serial number>/Name of the backup. If you saved your backup in another phone, you need to check the serial number and rename the folder with the serial number.

In fact, the correct path where all your disk image files (data.ext4.win etc.) have to be stored, is /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/<serial number>/<name of folder with disk image files>, so BACKUPS in capital letters.
TWRP does not "find" your backup otherwise (tested with 2.8).

Any clues on how to get FolderMount app to work from a Rom / slot ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...evasque.fmount
It seems the source path is wrong as compared to running it from the stock ROM where it finds the given folders/apps.
the source path shows: /storage/emulated/0
Normally this would populate with the given apps/folders desired to select but not working (as in listing anything) when trying from a ROM/slot and I have no clue what the path structure is via booted in a ROM slot in safestrap.

Yea me to, lol, and I've been having a hard time figuring out where to best report/post about this issue to get a response or possible solution. I brought it up once in the "Safestrap" thread in [General] but got no replies. Then later on in that thread, another user was mentioning the use of FolderMount as his solution to free up internal card memory to another Safestrap user so I replied to that posing my question again, however, got no response as to the answer. I know it's a source (path) issue but can't figure it out when booted into a ROM slot.
Thanks for replying though because I myself was starting to think I was losing my mind. :cyclops:

Likely so.
Wish we could get help with this as it would be a lifesaver for those of us using safestrap and wanting to free up space on the internal card since even more pressing for us having to slot our roms on it thus losing more phone storage.. :highfive:

Just curious a general idea of how much space you've saved on internal SD by doing this?
And I doubt though that in my case the program "CoPilot USA" /maps directory can actually be moved into system.. :silly:

Any progress on this?
Is this a safestrap issue or is it a hyperdrive issue with the way HD structures the file system?
Does FM app just need to include/make available the option to choose /sdcard0 rather than emulated? The option to choose your own path in FM does not show this branch?
I am caching over 10gb of slacker music and this may be the deal breaker for using safestrap.
Using XtreSoLite ROM on a Galaxy S5. When I do a TWRP backup (default settings) and I target my external SD card (64GB SanDisk microSD), the backup succeeds and I can go back to the main TWRP menu and verify that the backup was created in a new folder called 'TWRP' on the SD card. However, once I boot into the system and get past the unlock screen, that TWRP folder is deleted from the SD card along with the backup.
All of the other files on the SD card are untouched, just anything to do with TWRP is removed.
Any idea what could cause this? I searched the thread for my specific ROM with no luck regarding this issue.
I have this issue as well running the stock rom. I also have the 64 gb card. Near as I can tell something about the way TWRP is writing the files to the file system (exfat) android doesnt like and corrects which removes the files. If I pull the card out of the phone before booting android I can see the files on the PC. The work around I'm currently using is to mount an external USB storage to do my backup, then copying the backup to the SD card in android.

Hey there guys...its happening to me as well and its annoying because you cant rely in your backups!
Any solution or just that SD take out workaround? Its kinda dangerous because you can corrupt the SD by doing this often!
What version of twrp are you using?

Ive heard but it happen that I never came across a situation where I needed it...due to that, Ive never even saw it! However, Ive heard about it and I know its such a powerful tool!
Ill take a loo at it as soon as I have some spare time! Would you mind telling me what are its main uses? Im kinda advances user-mod-wanna-be. So far, Ive just needed to use Fastboot, RSD and custom recoveries!
Cheers man!

I would say odins main use is for flashing stock tars after you get your phone stuck in brickloop after flashing something you shouldn't have :laugh:.......very useful tool I must say.

TWRP Backups being deleted at boot

My solution for this error:
--Device S5 mini G800F
--TWRP 2.8.1
--MicroSD 64Gb
--TotalCommander for android instaled.
Step by Step:
1. Boot in recovery mode.
2. Create and save your backup into extSDCard (TWRP/backups folder).
* Example: extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc\2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY
-- 2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY = my last backup folder name created automatically by TWRP.
-- 2016-01-01--01-01-01 = backup date and time
-- XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY = phone and rom model/version
3. Open File Manager in TWRP and copy your backup folder (2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY) from extSDCard to internal memory.
4. Restart your phone (system restart in twrp).
5. Open TotalCommander and navigate to extSDCard/backup folder (extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc)
6. Create new folder and rename it with your backup name folder. *Example: extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc\2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY
7. Go to internal memory (copied backup folder) and copy all files to created folder in step 6.
8. Restart in recovery mode, run file manager in TWRP and delete backup folder from internal memory.
9. Restart your phone (system restart in twrp).
10. Finish.
