I'm looking for some help transferring back ups from device to device.
Both are M8 ATT
I have the back ups on external SD and while they show up on the backed up device, they don't show up on the other device.
What am I missing? I've never dealt with transferring back ups, but I think I have to change some coding?
Go into titanium settings on new device and change location of backup folder to external.

So you recommend using titanium for this process instead of TWRP?
Complete brain fart. Sorry. Can you not just go to restore from sd card in the menu of twrp

You can, but the new device doesn't see it.

Have you tried moving the contents of the twrp backups from the external sd to the internal sd? Also, was the rom that was backed up a custom rom? My guess is that if it was, it enabled the read/write permissions to the external card which Kit Kat disables on stock roms. If that's the case, and your new phone is still stock, it can't restore from the external. If you're on a stock rom now, go flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700310 to enable permissions and you should be good to go.
I'll try that.
Actually backed a up stock M8 and transferring to a gpe RUU I don't want.
Same as backing up stock before RUU but somehow it got wiped.

I went from HTC Desire to this Motorola Attic bad boy.
There are a few apps with data I want copied over, which I backed up on my Desire. I rooted my Atrix. But it doesn't see my backups.
Is it even possible to do this, or are my backups only compatible with the Desire, or what?

i brought my backups from my captivate over to my atrix. some of the apps didnt carry over the settings, but that wasnt a big deal. did you copy your titaniumbackup folder from the old phone to the new phone?
When you copy the backup files to the new phone, there is an option in titanium to reset the application...this will find the files and allow backup

Yep. You could also get the pro version that allows you dropbox backup.

Very confused. I am having the same problem. I got a new phone today (upgraded from G2 to G2x)
I inserted my old SD card, rooted my phone, installed TBUpro (latest from market,) went to backup/restore and there are no backups there. I tried restoring all apps and data anyway. It said it was successful. But nothing changed on my new phone. (Of course I rebooted and verified the SD card is being read.)
All of my backups are in the default folder of the SD card where TBUpro placed them (with the old phone.) I'm supposed to copy them somewhere else?
For now I've given up and am having App Brain reinstall all of my apps, and Google restore my personal info. I'd still love to have my system settings and whatnot restored by TBU though. WTF?

I just saw that too..
I brought most of my apps over from my MT3GS with TiBu. The only one I really had an issue with was Angry Birds, no matter how I restored it, it would force close. I'm thinking some kind of architecture difference.
Also watch what cross platform system settings you restore. I finally figured out restoring my old wireless ap info is what b0rked my wifi.
Hi... the phone needs to be rooted, but also needs sideloading enabled.

Yes, or change the backup location by pressing menu, preferences. Use detect to locate sdcard-ext this is the removable micro sd card.

This did it. You need to go inside Titanium Backup. hit MENU key -> Backup Folder location --> Hit the DETECT! button. Then choose the desired location (it will you all the backup locations available.)
So I downloaded titanium backup but when I back apps. It doesn't back them up to my external SD card but instead to my internal SD card, please help

Change the backup folder from Preferences screen
Yea I looked around online and I moved the backup file to the external SD. My only question now is if I get a new phone and of course the titanium app isn't on there, if I just reinstall it than it'll detect my back ups on my sdcard right?

Thank you, well i guess problem solved
Is there a quick way to deal with the issue of "Other" storage space as you backup and flash other ROMs? I usually keep one stock backup and my most recent backup and even that has filled up my storage. Last time I went deleting stuff, I must have deleted the wrong thing because my phone didn't work right and I had to RUU back to stock, re-unlock and re-root.. Trying to avoid that this time.
Currently, my "Other" storage is taking up 11.57GB of space.

Can you copy the backups to your PC?

So I just inserted and sd card after upgrading, rooting & twrping. My internal storage is almost full. Can I transfer TWRP totally to the sd card or just the backups? Can I put all my contacts on the sd card? Music? Pics? This is my first android phone so I'm all noobed out. Thanks.

TWRP is your system recovery so it has to stay with the system, but your saves can definitely go on your SD. Music and pictures can go on SD also.

Okay, thanks. Is there a way to delete TWRP saves from the internal drive? I looked but didn't see a way.

Yes, you can delete from internal by using a file manager (es file manager i.e.)
Or by navigating to your internal storage while using your PC.

If you made the backups for a reason move them to the sd card or to a PC. Once the backup is gone it's gone. Which begs the question, why make the backup in the first place?

I see what you are saying, but I make updated backups frequently so the previous ones become obsolete. At over 2 gigs apiece I don't keep all my old ones around.

What did you use to backup your SMS messages?
You sure you picked the external SD as your backup location, and not internal storage?
I think in stock Rom we can't pick sd r internal storage but when I backup sms the file in sd card ,after bootunlock and s off it's not showing any back up file even though file are there in same place .

Are you sure you picked the removable SD and not the internal storage ("virtual SD") for the backup location? If you picked internal storage, I think this gets wiped when you unlock the bootloader.
Hey thanks for your reply ,problem solved when I install dev edition
