It appears that prior to the JB 4.1.2, the external sd card was mounted as
/sdcard/external_sd
After the update, it is now
/storage/extSdCard
Some of my apps disappeard because of this. And my TiBu could not locate the backup folder and I had to re-do it.
Is there a fix for this?
In the settings of TB you can search and choose the backup folder.

I just used TB as an example.
Other apps are the same. I'd hate to go each apps, one by one, just to change folder.
If I remount the folder, I'm sure it will dupe the files.
You can copy paste everything from old folder to new folder.

Android.secure is the folder where stock froyo android moves apps to the sd card by default. If you don't use the apps presently, you can safely remove the corresponding app files from the android.secure folder.
You can delete the files which you do not need from the folder. Just see the file name, you will know to which app it belongs. If you do not need that file, delete it.
thanks for the replies.. did just that and manange to free up more space. ^^

nice sharing...
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.

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?
So I saw that I had an SDcard0 file and an SDcard file. I deleted the SDcard0 file and it deleted everything on my SD card....how screwed am I? :/

If you have a backup made, your fine. If not, its lost.
Don't delete system folders unless you know what you're doing.

On a scale to one to ten? About a 8.
If you have rooted your phone, you can get an undelete app (like Fahrbot's Undelete for Root Users on the Market) and recover the folder... hopefully. There's a chance it won't catch the files or whatever. If you're not rooted, I don't think it would be possible to get them back, but I may be wrong (check Google, they may know).
In case you were wondering why this happened, I'll tell you. Android is based on Linux. Linux has these links to files/folders called symlinks. Now, for whatever reason it is, Android has multiply links to the sdcard (probably to help with compatibility). So while they may look like two different folders, they lead to the same place. Think of it as two doors to the same house.
Good luck!
If you are on a 4.2 ROM (One found in Original Development):
The SDcard0 and SDcard are all links to /Data/Media/0. Use a root browser to navigate here and see of your SD cards contents are here. I'm not sure if deleting a symlink will also delete its source, so you may still have the SDcard just not a way to access it without root permissions. If you can see your SD card in /data/media/0, PM me and I'll try to help you restore it. If you don't see anything here, or don't see your SD cards contents (before wipe), I'm sorry to say this but your pretty screwed.

Anyone else experience Titanium Backup saving backups on their device rather than the external SD? Is there any way to change this?
See last response for the Fix.
Go to settings and change the path to extSd.

On the Backup Folder Location screen there is only a Detect Button.
I am in the process of moving the folder to my exd SD then I will hit detect again.
Fixed:
I moved the TitaniumBackup folder from my device to the SD card then opened Titanium Backup and clicked Detect.
Worked like a charm.
sd swap
Is it due to an sd swap option perhaps? I had a simular issue, solved it right away, but found it odd.
SD card and SD swap do not work how I had hoped.
