Does anyone else have an issue with backups taking a very long time, both through TWRP and CWM?
I use CWM and experience a long wait only when backing up to the external sd card, backing up to the internal memory is faster, however I can't locate the backups when i save them to the internal sd.

I thought I heard that you couldn't do it on SGS3? But you shouldn't really need too. How many apps do you have installed? and if you have a 32GB memory card, you should be all good
I've got no more than the usual amount of apps that Ive had on my previous phones. thing is my apps, titanium backups and nandroid backups are on my phone's internal memory and not on my sd card so Im wondering what people are doing so that they dont run out of space.

I moved my Titanium Backup files to my external SD card. Gotta figure out how to move Nandroids to the memory card.

Did you move them manually or some other way?
Hello Folks!
i just bought a 32gig micro sd card for my S3. inserted it, formated. everything goes well. but now i have problem. is there anyway to change the settings of touchwiz, so it downloads and installs all apps on the external sd ? and how do i change the backup location in titanium backup ? titanium backkups take up quite some space, so it would be great if they can be stored AUTOMATCALLY on the external SD. Btw S3 is rooted.
Thanks Guys
Titanium Backup
Go on menu, then Preferences
Then Backup Settings, Backup folder

For the first problem you have go to the mods section and search for internal sdcard to external sdcard..you will get a zip which will toggle the memories so that your internal memory will be shown as external and vice versa ..all the apps will then be stored on the external sdcard

Hi,
Since I have similar issues and more, I jump in with my own questions...
It seems that my ext sd card is only partially recognized. For instance, Rom Manager does not see it, so when I want to install a zip file from Rom Manager, it will only browse for the zip file within the internal as card. I can however browse through the ext sd card from Recovery.
I can also reach my zip file stored in the ext card with ES file explorer, click on it and open it with Rom Manager to install it straight away...
When I do a nandroid backup, I get a message during the backup process stating something like "no ext card found"
I'm just wondering how the ext sd card can be recognized in any situation? Could this relates to how I formatted it? I did a standard formatting with my Windows 7 PC, so it was fat32 (or fat).

I have the same problem with my Galaxy s, but my memory card isen't being used. Like cmd, pictures, backups all saves in the phone. My phone made the internmemory as the sdplace. How can i make everything be in my real sdcard and not in the internmemorysd?

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.
I just picked up a sd card today for my s4. The question I had was can I just copy all the folders and files that apps have created on the internal SD card over to the external sd card without any issues from the apps that created them? ie twrp, titanium backup etc.

Titanium backup has an option in preferences to change the folder it reads. Twrp should have a restore from ext sd option, I cant say for sure though because im a cwm user. Some data will have to stay on the internal sd card for it to be read properly or you have to use an app like folder mount to move the data.
If I helped you hit that thanks button please. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.

Have you tried copying it to external sd card and restore from there...Also I would not recommend keeping backups on internal sd card in-case anything goes wrong and it gets wiped.
Yes I had one other backup in ext SD card so I got away with it...
But the issue is recovery is not detecting it while it is present in my internal SD card..
Can someone shed some light on this???

You should have said that in your first post try posting in PhilZ thread you may get a answer from the man himself
Edit: Just thought I so a post somewhere about PhilZ not detecting cwm backups in internal sd card if it was not in a particular folder because of the 0 folder issue not 100% sure on this but it may help
I noticed 1 more thing
The ownership in both the cases is different... the one with neat rom is from ext SD card
And the other one from inter sd card

I notice your path for internal is emulated my cwm is in sdcard0 for internal try moving it to there.
Edit solved it... I changed the path from data/media/0 to data/media
And then mount data...
Previously data was not mounted that's why recovery was not detecting the backed up file...
PLZ close the thread...
