Yes, backups are stored on the sdcard. Copy your backup to your computer first
Let's say I have the backup apps inside my HDD on my computer, instead of internal phone storage. Can I restore them through Titanium Backup using a USB?
Copy the files form your pc into your phones /sdcard/titaniumbackup directory, that's where all your backups are stored.
Hi! When doing a nandroid backup, do the default settings backup the contents of the internal sdcard? I just flashed a ROM and forgot to backup some data that was on the internal sdcard, wondering if I can retrieve it from the nandroid I did just before the ROM flash. Thanks!
External... You can use a file manager and check yourself.
Thanks for the info. I browsed through the backup but couldn't find what I wanted.
If you're using Amon Ra, the backup is on your external sd in a folder called nandroid. There will be a subfolder inside the nandroid folder and your backups are in that subfolder.
Hi,
Having CWM installed on the recovery partition, I tried to perform a Nandroid backup to the microSD card.
As I cannot find any valid partition system on the SDCard after the backup, I have the following questions :
1) Should the microSD card be formatted before making the Nandroid backup, and should it be in FAT16 or FAT32 ?
2) Which is the nature of a Nandroid backup : an ".img" file containing all partitions as well as the folders and files in them ?
The backup does not seem cloning the partitions but copying files from a mounted filesystem.
Is the backup some kind of archive of the copied files ?
3) At the beginning of the backup process, CWM tells "SD Card space free 6301 MB", whilst the microSD card is only 1 GB.
Does this mean that I need a 8 GB sd card to perform the full backup ?
4) To extract files from the backup using Windows or Linux, should I then use the "unyaffs" utitity ?
Thanks.
