Hello. I just recently update to A13 and I'm going to do my first backup using TWRP. All these years I've been renaming the data\media folder to something else so TWRP would include it in the backup, but now, in A13, media seems to be encrypted.
Is there a trick or bypass to backup this folder like I used to?
My device: MI A1 (TISSOT).
Thanks.

In TWRP, the contents of /data/media are visible.
How do you understand "seems to be encrypted"?

When I try to recover my apps using Titanium Backup's "Extract from Nandroid" feature, it says "Could not find any data in this TWRP backup"
The files in my TWRP backup folder are
data.ext4.win000
data.ext4.win001
data.ext4.win002
md5 for the above
recover.log
Any help would be appreciated
Yup, same problem here. Im on a Galaxy Nexus running XenonHD and TWRP.
I've tried unpacking them on my pc, so i could use an emulator and run my phone through there.
That kinda works, and using Titanium Backup, it seems to extract it without an error. But afterwards, the app is very glitchy.
Im guessing Titanium Backup doesnt really do well on TWRP as i had no problems using clockworkmod.
I'm experiencing the same problem running Marshmallow trying to restore apps from a TWRP backup (Galaxy S4). At first, Titanium backup just refused to even see the backup files (although it accepts the containing folder as a backup location). Once it finally and magically accepted to see the backups it now tells me that it cant find any data in them...
Has anyone solved this yet?
Hey guys, I'm trying to restore one of my backups from my old HTC One M8 as I recently got a replacement one through warranty. I finished rooting it and made a stock backup using TWRP but now I can't seem to see/find the backup folder. I know it's taking up space and If I want to restore from that backup I can through recovery but I cant seem to find the folder when looking at my storage on my computer. Because of this it is impossible (at least I think it is) for me to put my old backup in that folder and restore from there so I can have all my data again. I also keep on getting this message whenever launching TWRP about my SD card not being writeable yet whenever I click yes to install the patch my phone reboots and when I go back to TWRP I get the same message. I can send screenshots later if you guys would like but I really need some help here. Thanks everyone, and feel free to move this thread if it's in the wrong section, I'm new to this site.
MTP is crap and you should use adb pull for transfering files,
if you are making the backup in the internal storage you can do:
adb pull /data/media/0/TWRP /Users/????/Desktop/
replace ??? with your account name in windows

once you have twrp flashed or side loaded, click the backup button. Then backup what you need. I believe the system partition is all that needs to be restored to get OTAs, but I'd backup the boot img anyways (especially if you are going to flash custom kernel).
The easiest way to get the backup off your watch is via ADB. But i believe you can use an app from playstore to copy from watch to your phone if you dont have ADB setup on a computer. Backups are saved to /sdcard/TWRP

thanks man just did the backup after installing twrp and everything is good.
Basically I've had my phone stock firmware for along time with TWRP but want to finally go AOSP. Can I twrp backup, Flash stock recovery, flash open kirin.... And if for some reason I'm not happy, if I reflash TWRP, will my backup still be there??
Doing anything on Huawei is such a pain.
And, why can't open kirin just be flashed in twrp? I would of done it along ago knowing I could just restore.
Thanks!

Backups are saved to /sdcard/, so unless you remove them from Internal Memory (By deleting the TWRP folder or Factory reset) they will still be there.
Please note that going from EMUI to AOSP will require a factory reset, same when you go back to EMUI. So keep a backup of backups on your computer.

Well, just copy the TWRP folder at the root of your internal sd. Paste it back when you want to restore backup using the Restore button in TWRP.
I have never managed to make a TWRP backup that is actually bootable... No matter what combination of partitions I pick, when I restore the backup it never boots. Am I just dumb or is that a Poco specific issue?
Arey you sure you backup, system image and vendor image and not system and vendor

Thank you for bringing this up..... Never managed to restore successfully... On my other devices this is never a issue... Searched in forums but couldn't find any help.

So I should NOT restore System and Vendor partitions? Do I need to flash the ROM first and then restore on top of that? Should the restore look like this? https://i.imgur.com/QW8NmzG.png
I have the same problem.
I do not know what to select to make a backup, in my other phones I selected everything and made a correct backup, but if I select now a whole ROM of 5GB weighs 12GB
Can someone tell me that I should select to make a backup of the installed ROM with my APPS, regards

My screenshot above worked and restored just fine. Just make sure you disable any lockscreen before backing up!
