Open TB and press the upper right symbol in the bar, now you see Batch back-up/restore- All in the top bar. Scroll down to the bottom and press Delete all backups. That`s it mate
or go into 'My Files' and delete the titanium backup folder

Cwm backup doesn't backup game data. If it did the backup would be massive. The data is on the memory card and stays there even if you factory reset or flash a new rom. You will only lose the data if you format sd card.
Best way to back up game data is to copy to your PC.

Just sync the game saves folder with Dropbox.
That gives you a 30 (or was it 90) day history of your old saves to download in case you f*#% up ingame aswell as the latest one

in my experience, in TiBackup, i just backup the apps normally, then the apps' data (game saves,score,..) will be backed up too, just that when you restore it, you need to choose to restore both app+data

Hi my internal storage is just about full. I'm not exactly sure why either except maybe from backups by titanium or because of flashing so many roms and my old apps still exist? Idk but if I backup my current condition and save to to my PC can I then wipe my phone and reflash?

just backup what tghings you need and delete all others thus wipe.
also have a look at the folder LOST.dir in your internal storage. if it has things inside delete them.
but if it has it also means that you are not properly disconnecting your phoine after finishing your transfer from/to PC.

Titanium backups take a consistent amount of space, it hardly varies more than a hundred megs. My theory is your nandroid backup. You said that you flash many roms and I presume each time you would perform a nandroid backup in cwm? Now these take up a fair bit of space. If you don't delete nandroid backups that you no longer need, then it will use up your space fairly easily.
Check your clockworkmod folder.
OK thanks. And by things I need you mean backup pics append all that kind of thing and then wipe? Also I have a ton of stuff in the lost directory. What am I doing wrong? Is it because I don't unmount the volume before disconnecting?

lambstone. If i go into cwm recovery I only have three listed. I don't usually backup each time I flash because if I get problems I use one of those three to get me good again and then continue from there. I just sync with Google to get my apps back and titanium to get the rest.

delete content of lost dir. and yes you are not unmounting correctly.
if it says it is full but shows empty then it must have been corrupted. save photos and other important data and then format internal drive from settings-storage
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.

Nandroid backup do not backup your sdcard data..its lost..you can try recovery software to find it ..next time backup your photos on dropbox

If the data was on your internal sd card it should be in the CWM backup .
Either open the backup or restore the CWM backup or make CWM backup now

Picture did store on internal sd card when create backup.
unless you go down the data retrieval route you have lost it. A nandroid doesn't back up your sd card so that's that unfortunately.

[Q] i am going to install jb rom for my s3..my question is..can i backup my all my apps and it's data..because i have many big games..each one about 1gb..and i dont want to lose them..is there any way?!! Plz need quick answer
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Just install "titanium backup" from play store. Backup your apps and system. Flash your another ROM, install TB again. And restore your apps.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Dont forget to back up to external SD, otherwise when wiping sd card, you lose your backups too. (personal experience)
Also make a nand backup, in case you want to revert
Plus you should already have a backup of your EFS folder .
jje
Dirry.. what is EFS folders ?!!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
EFS contains your IMEI.
it doesn't always happen, but sometimes you can lose that information and your imei becomes 00000000000000 or somesuch.
Where i can find this folder?!! Abd now..the best way ti backup my apps is via nand backup?!! Because i have many games have big extrrnal data not shown or backup with the backup apps..
Here is what i will do and tell me if i made wrong..i will backup my all data with any of backup app..then make a nand backup..to backup the apps external data..then after flashing..i will restore apps from the backup app. .and if i launch itnit will ask me to downliad the data again..but niw i will restore that data from nand backup...is that wilk work?!! Is taht all right..
Thanks....

Here's the easiest breakdown:
Get Titanium Backup. (buy the pro key if you want. If you flash quite abit, it's worth the money)
Back up all your apps (it will also back up your data) and make sure it's backed up to your sd card.
export your messages, call history, and wifi ap as xml (via TB. hit menu to see the export option)
Use your Contact app to export all your contacts as a vcf file.
If you're using a rom that has Aroma Installer, you should be given an option to back the efs folder up. I think it's also found on the root directory or in the system folder. It's a folder that says EFS. you can't miss it.
now go into cwm, do a nand backup.
once that's done.
Wipe cache and data
install new rom.
set it up.
and do the reverse of the backups off everything. (so import instead of export and restore instead of backup)
EDIT: try not to back up system settings. restoring that would most likely cause FCs or a full crash. but restoring the usual apps are almost always ok. Avoid system apps unless you know they're the same.

It doesn't matter, the big game files are stored on sdcard and are not concerned by flashing process. They'll be preserved and when restoring app the game will automatically detect them.
What we call data app are all settings, stored in /data partition and erased with data wipe process. The graphical data used by games to run are not the same thing.
What Striatum said.
Mean the flashing doesnt earase all data on sd card?!!! (I an talking about internal i dont have external card...and all thing is stored on the internal....that u meab?!!flashing doesnt delete all sd inernal fard?!!!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
no it doesn't erase the internal card. I have maintained the structure of my internal card when I flashed from stock to Omega.
The internal card is treated as a storage card. when they say wipe, they meant wipe the part of the storage that is partitioned for the rom, not for the partition that is for user storage.
So if you follow what I told you.. you would be all set.
Thanks bro

Open Titanium. Tap the menu key.

Change it to /storage/extSdCard/TitaniumBackup
