I've been trying to backup my I9300XXLID (4.1.2) to my 64GB external SD card using CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 but I keep getting 'Can't mount backup path'. I've already formatted the card, from the phone as CWM reports 'error mounting /external_sd Skipping format...!'. Does ne1 have a solution?
Thanx.

My phone (Omega 13 - siyah kernel 1.5.2) works great but i can't do a full wipe, format INTERNAL /sdcard, restore nandroidbackup or mount internal /sdcard. The error log by cwm recovery is that:
checking for extendedcommand...
skipping execution of extendedcommand. file not found...
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: no such file or directory
W: filed to mount dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (file exists)

error mounting /sdcard!
I hope someone can help me, thanks!
p.s. i have no external sd card insert in the phone
look for a file called superwipe, or megawipe. this will format the internal card however you do need to backup your memory card, you will loose any non backed up data... doing a nandroid backup will NOT back up the internall sd card...
Last time I check, mmcblk1 is external SDcard and not internal SDcard
I understand why it does not work: it try to format external SDcard but as you said you have none
Which recovery do you use?

I supposed that it could be this. I use cwm-based recovery v5.5.0.4 cf-v1.5 (built-in omega 13)
Sorry but i'm android noob i think that recovery is installed on nand but it's built-in with custom rom, right? how can update i my recovery?
This error is strange because even if it does not find a external sd should still format the internal sd instead the process stops

No it could not switch to internal: command are created with a fix mount point in them so it only apply to this mount point and nothing else
AFAIK, the only thing that can format your internal SDcard should be a factory reset but it will also erase all your apps/contacts/settings in the process so make a backup if needed
There is maybe "format /data" in recovery but I am not sure if it will wipe the full internal SDcard or just the /data partition which contains your apps

Format data is data only not sd card ..
Custom roms may have recovery built in or not .

Sorry for my english!
Hi, CWM Recovery and 4.1 recognise your external SD card in mnt/external_sd, not in sd carddisc-0.In 2.2, it is sd carddisc-0.
The sd external isn't mount into recovery for apply update.zip or any zip file, i tried to flash the foliomod 1.3 and the sd external is mount into mnt/sd-external, and in the recovery the sd isn't mount

Hi all,
I am trying to create a backup of JellyDream Z1 installed on my Ray, however, going into Recovery (xKernel) then "backup and restore" and finally selecting the "backup" option, brings up the following error message:
Can't mount backup path.
Anyone has any ideas? Could it because of my 16GB MicroSDHC card?
Help will be appreciated.

Try in CWM to mount sd card first (you will find in the menus mount/unmount i think it was).
Also, check your sd card is working ok, like App2sd, browsing thru folders, cut, copy, paste etc...

Thank you for your reply.
Trying to mount /sdcard under mounts and storage menu, it gives me similar error message: Error mounting /sdcard!
My microSD is working 100% using Root Explorer, I am able cut/copy/paste/delete items on my sd card.
Do you think, it might be to do with 64KB allocation size that I choose when I formatted the card?

First see is there a folder named backup in ../Clockworkmod/backup.
Also I've read somewhere that older CWM have problems with this (the user had 5.8 - same problem, but on 6.x did the backup without a problem)
*SD Card has to be FAT 32 formatted.

The CWM recovery doesn't create any backup folder, it just gives can't mount backup path error message. Also, I have tried TWRP recovery that CTCaer kernel comes with, that too gives me the same message.
My microSDHC is FAT32 formatted as well. I am thinking either higher capacity cards are not supported or may be because I came from KK CM 11.0 ROM?
The card itself is recognized by my Ray as I am able to read/watch/listen to stuff stored on my card. I really have no idea.
i installed a custom rom witch softbricked my device and i am stuck in a boot loop so i tryed to mount sd card with a backup version of firmware cwm says Error moountiung /sdcard/.android_secure and Error mounting /sdcard!
please help
Does the SD card show up correctly when mounted to a computer? Does the version of CWM you have known to have SD card issues? What phone? What version of recovery? Have you tried other versions of CWM? Other SD cards?
Providing more details other than it's not working will help us help you.
Hi,
Three weeks ago I had my SGSIII rooted and with a custom ROM and regular backup in the external SD card and everything was working OK.
I wanted to remove all the information form the internal memory and decided to format the internal memory, so using CWM (6.0.4.7) I made all the wipes and formatted:
/system
/cache
/preload
/data
I think that one of those formats was the source of the error, but I don't know which one!
Afterwards I tried to access the externalSD card from the restore menu to restore one of my NAND backups, but the extrenalSD card was not accessible (E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard1) neither from the install zip menu (same error). the SD card was OK because was workable in another phone. I tried to mount the external SD card from the mounts and storage menu but gave an error (Error mounting /storage/sdcard1!)
Since I could not restore my NAND backups, I restored the stock ROM (JB 4.3) using odin and afterwards I rooted the phone and install again CWM (6.0.4.7) but the problem persisted and now I am using the stock ROM and can access the external SD card from android normally.
I have looked about this error and all the cases I have found are using older versions of CWM and recommend to format the external SD card, so I did, but the problem persisted.
So my questions are:
- What have I done wrong?
- How can I fix it?
Afterwards I thought that I could copy the NAND backup from the external SD to the internal memory so I made NAND backup to see where it was stored, but using ultra explorer I cannot find the location (furthermore, according to the DiskUsage App the space is used but does not inform me where it is).
I have asked Google for the location of the backups in the internal memory (I can not recall such locations) but the folders did not exist or where empty. So:
- Is it possible to copy a backup from the external SD card into the internal memory?
- How can it be done?
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the lengthy post.
