Hi guys .... Trying to figure this out.
I have the my GS4, its rooted, have Rom Manger Pro, and Titanium Backup Pro installed, and want to flash a new rom on the phone. Trying to do a normal Nandorid back up and it keeps saying I dont have enough memory. So I go out and by a 32gb Micro SD card, run the back up again, and same error. Im guessing its still trying to back up on the internal SD card. Anyone know where I can configure this so it does the back on the external SD card? Also same question on Titanium Backup?
Thanks in advance!
Nevermind .... figured this out.
its under >Settings >Use External Storage (turn the toggle to ON)
I also figured out why I couldnt do a back up as I had already backed up and the current backup with the amount of apps installed filled up the internal storage.
Also found the answer for Titanium Backup here:

By default the Clockwork Mod backup is saved to the internal SD card of the phone.
If I move it to my external SD card will I still be able to restore it or does it need to remain in the Clockwork Mod folder on the internal SD card???
Thanks in advance for any help.
You can check it for yourself by pressing backup and then restore in the recovery. If the file is found, you can restore, if not you can't.
I think it won't work. I was thinking of that you could put it on your external_sd and putting it back to the internal sd when you need to recover. But you can't access usb mode in recovery (yet) right?
So when you can't access the OS to place the backup back onto your internal sd, you can't recover. There goes my idea..
Thanks guys, I tried moving it to my SD card but it doesn't find it when I try to restore a back up so it has to stay on the internal storage.
Where you do gals and guys restore your apps. to on this phone? First, by default Titanium Backup was looking at Internal SD Card for storage on this Amaze, so I corrected that in the preferences. Now when I went to restore the apps., it also restored to the internal SD card. Is that correct? How does it normally do it? Does it normally restore to the flash of the phone? I read that when you wipe via Clockwork, for example, before installing a new ROM, it does not wipe the internal SD? Surely I still have to still restore the apps right? Would we just restore the apps, and not their data?
Hey guys, I just noticed that my Titanium Backups are stored in sd storage as opposed to the ext. Sd storage? What did I do here?
Have you tried going to Preferences | Backup folder location | Press back button and look for:
/mnt/extSdCard
and look for your Titanium Backup directory?
edit- you have to "Reload application" in TB for the changes to kick in. I just confirmed this on my rooted GS3 with backups made using a GS2.

Mine are stored in /mount/sdcard instead of /mount/extsdcard, when I go to preferences to change it, it won't allow me to "write files to this location? The only thing on my external sd card storage is my camera folder with my pictures in it? But I forgot to put the sd card in my phone until a couple of days after I had it, but I can't imagine that has anything to do with it? Also, I'm only using an 8gb card, but it has 7.39 of 7.40gb available?
Hey guys I'm a noob here, which I'm sure you would have figured out later on as you read on. I use and LG G2X and i thought that today I would put a new rom onto it. I have been contemplating for a while and I really regret my decision. I didn't use an external SD card. I created a clockwork backup but since it isn't on the external SD I can't access it any of the files to return it to what it was. I tried my phone into my computer but it doesn't recognize my phone. I also can't use my camera because it tells me to insert an sd card. Is there any way I can mount my internal storage and trick the phone into thinking it is the external SD so i can at least just reset it? I would wipe the internal storage, which I'm not even sure will solve the problem, but that would remove all of my backup data from clockwork backup. Can somebody please help me in recovering the backup data so i can just reset the phone back to the horrid 2.3.4?
Also, I am running Eaglesblood ICS 4.0.3
Just wondering where a nandroid backup should be stored and if it matters where it is stored? I tried saving my stock rooted backup to my ext sd card awhile back, and now when I try to restore from backup in twrp there is no information found. I then tried to factory restore from twrp and reset my phone as is. It constantly bootloops until i pull the battery out.

What do you mean no information is found? I believe Twrp checks the internal sd by default and wont show your backup in your external sd until you change to look for it in your micro sd card. When you boot into recovery and and then hit restore at the top does the storage bar say Internal storage? If so tap it and change it to micro sd card then your backups should be displayed.

You need to make sure that your Recovery is compatible (i.e., can read) the format of your external card. You might have a 64gb external card formatted in exFAT which TWRP can't read (I don't use TWRP so I don't know if that's the case).
If the issue is compatibility between your card format and your recovery, I would recommend copying the backup off your card onto a PC, reformatting your sd card to FAT32, move the backup back to the card, and try again.
PS - in re: your ? on where to save backup: Internal storage is always 'safest' from a recovery perspective (i.e., your device will always find it); but these days, nandroid backups could be 5GB or more, consuming a huge chunk of space, especially if you only have 16gb to start with. So I think most people end up using their external card.
