I had been using Fouad whatsapp v8.12 for quite some time and it was working flawlessly until 20th February when they released a new update with V8.26.
The problem is it starts absolutely fine but I can't seem to restore my recently backed up msgs, when I try to restore on the main screen, it says
No backup found in sdcard/whatsapp/
And when I try to restore the backup from fuoad settings after verification it still gives me the same msg.
It automatically restores some very old msgs from last year although I made a new backup.
Any help would be appreciated, I've already tried several suggestions that were helpful before but none seem to be working now.
Did you find the answer to your problem?
If anyone has any solution please do share
The only solution I found out was to clean install fouad and the skipping the first step where it asks me to restore and it automatically picked the backup file from the folder.
Don't know if it'll work for you but it worked for me.

You need to put the backup file in the backup folder that fuoad whatsapp creates

I think it's the folder with numbers, what you can do it clear all the storage of fuoad whatsapp by renaming the backup file, open the fuoad whatsapp application and then see which folders it creates and put your backups in that folder.
I stopped using fuoad whatsapp sometime ago due to the same issues of backup on google drive, so this is what I remember the last time I faced this issue.
i just formated my phone and the app cant read the backup file any help ?

Hi guys ... Well I want to export all the contact photos Android is currently storing for all my 'Phone' contacts ..
Does anyone know where Android stores all contact photos/images ?
I'm currently running a Sense 3.6 ROM (Virtuous Affinity) on my Desire Z ..
Well I could not find them anywhere on the SD card, but I did find another solution to this, which can work until something better comes along:
1) Download and install Titanium Backup
2) Open Titanium Backup, and create a backup of the Contacts app
3) Open the SD card on your PC, and then open the 'TitaniumBackup' folder
4) Find your backup here .. if its date sorted, find the backup that was created most recently maybe ..
5) Open the TAR file in WinRAR, and then open the 'files' folder inside the TAR file
6) All associated contact images should be here now ..
Please 'Thank' this post if this helped you out

Yes. Don't delete the clockworkmod backup folders, just the folders with the specific backups in.
files with date
The backup files that I have moved its named like this : 2013-05-29-21.01.29 inside that folder there's 12 files
Havent deleted anything yet.

Sorry, to be clear, leave the folder structure \clockworkmod\backup - only move / delete the dated folders as above.
You need to keep the structure so you know where to put the backups if you need to restore them back. They need to be in the same place so the recovery sees them
Hi, Everyone
I was attempting to make a new backup of my HTC one using TWRP. For some odd reason, I can't find the file when I browse my phone SD. The TRWP folder has the old backup, but when I attempt to do a restore I can see the new files. I tried using the ES explorer app to find the missing backup files but nothing. I know for a fact that these files are stored somewhere and they are taking space on my HTC. Can I restored to an early restore and it will delete these files?
I'm new to the Android scene and still learning. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I found the solution. The problem is that the ES file explorer does not have root access to /data folder. I enable root access in ES file and there was the following folder: /data/media/twrp.
I was able to make a new folder in the /SD and copy the files to that location. Then I deleted the folder.
TitaniumBackup does not backup my APK anymore. I think this happen after i update to LP 5.0.2. Is it not working properly on LP?
I even did a factory reset and it's still the same. Everytime I backup my apps, after complete, the icon is a tick. Used to be a smiley face.
Anyone have a fix for this?
EDIT: OK I found out it does backup everything include APK on the first run, subsequent run it only detect the app data and the icon change from a smiley to a tick.

The reason is in LP TB how adds .txt to its .properties file and TB itself cannot recognize..
Nobody had the same as issue as me? How can this be?

I think I may have a related issue.
This is my problem description:
- phone: Samsung S4 I9505 upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.1, rooted with CF-Auto_Root
- using Titanium Backup version 7.1.2
1. set backup location to SD card using the DocumentProvider interface
2. after "Calculating scenarios" for different batch actions, for "Redo backups for modified data" shows 402 backups to be redone
3. run the scheduled action "Redo backups for modified data"
4. immediately afterwards, there are still 402 backups to be done
and
- "Calculating scenarios" never seems to finish. It's as if TB is having trouble scanning the backups
- the "properties.txt" files are created in the backup folder but they are empty files
I sent a report of a possible bug to Titanium Backup support.
I'm amazed this bug isn't more widely reported.
At a guess, the DocumentProvider API allows some sort of file type hint when creating a file and TB is optimistically setting this to text rather than whatever binary format is used for the archives, and for god knows what reason android is appending a .txt file extension.
I've spent the best part of a day banging my head against a wall trying to figure out why my backup couldn't be restored. Thank **** I found this thread, I was close to admitting defeat and starting from scratch.
Just to assist people in finding this, here's some of the stuff I googled for: "has app no", "no restore button", "restore question mark", "unknown"
I was lucky that my google-fu led me to this thread, and another one about Titanium backup adding .zip after .gz because I took a backup of my S5 yesterday, upgraded and hard reset, and then it couldn't find any backups. I knew they were there, but it turned out that both those bugs had struck me at the same time! So I copied the directory to the SD card, took the card out of the phone, put it into my pc and did a bit of old school "ren *.zip *." and "ren *.txt *." which put it all right again. Thanks for the thread!

renaming files work
This issue is not fixed even in 7.4.0.2 version of TB on LP. But this issue depends on ROM, because on CM12.1 it didn't reproduce.
Here is the fastest fix for Windows:
1.Open cmd
2.Switch drive to sdcard
3.Go to titanium backup folder (or wherever your backups are)
4.Execute two commands:
rename *.gz.zip *.
rename *.properties.txt *.
Example sequence of commands:
g:
cd G:\backup sept 2016\TitaniumBackup
rename *.gz.zip *.
rename *.properties.txt *.

Unfortunately, this didn't made the trick for me... When restoring any update (app+data) it takes so many time that it doesn't end... I don't know what the hell happened...
Hello!
How do I backup each and every note of my LG G5 QuickMemo+?
If your phone is rooted, you can do that by using automatic backup tools such as Titanium Backup, or by manually copying /data/data/com.lge.qmemoplus/ folder to your backup location and then restoring it by copying it back to the same folder, setting the right permission with Root Explorer or similar.
If you're planning to copy them to a txt file, it's quite easy for text notes, as the text is inside /data/data/com.lge.qmemoplus/databases/qmemoplus.db, a SQLite database, in a format similar to HTML.

My phone is not rooted and I do not plan to root it. Most of the notes I wish to backup are images, is that still possible?
accessing in the /data/data folder is possible only with root. I don't know where images are, if they are in /sdcard/android/data/com.lge.quickmemoplus you can backup them, otherwise not.
EDIT: media files are in /sdcard/android/data/com.lge.quickmemoplus, so you can just copy that folder even without root.

Oh. So should all my phone data get deleted, if I paste the pre-copied folder, all the dozens of saved images in QuickMemo+ would be there?
/sdcard/ is (opposite to what would be logical) the internal memory. So if your phone data is erased, also QuickMemo+ photos are deleted But you can always backup them whenever you want.

I just went in that folder and I seem to have thousands of 'qmemo_' folders in there, each has 'audios', 'drawings', 'images' and 'videos' sub-folders. The problem is there seem to be a lot of memos I have deleted from my phone long ago (which apparently also is the reason why it took some time to load all the folders as there are thousands), how come the deleted memos appear in those sub-folders? How can I backup only the relevant ones?
If there is a mismatch between the database of notes seen by QuickMemo and the files in the folder, well, you just have to be patient and check them one by one.
You can start by opening QuickMemo and looking at the earliest memo: any folder that has been edited before that date, is something you deleted.
You can use LG Backup too
