/Nandroid Backups from CWM...
Can I copy them off my phone (i know where they are), and save them on my desktop, then use them again when I need to?

[Q] Virtuous Inquisition Titanium Backup Issue

Whenever I do a batch restore on Titanium Backup, the apps do not show up. It says that the restore is complete, but no apps.
Am I doing it wrong?

which ROM do u have? I had exact Problem on ICS, but u can restore apps from SD card Manually, they are located in Titanium backup folder, after that you can run batch operation to restore DATA for that apps from TB, it worked for me...

How do you guys delete cwm backups on external storage?

So I'm wondering how to do this since cwm uses blobs now and RM doesn't read nandroids on external SD card, only internal storage.

Use a file browser, navigate to /mnt/extSdCard(or sdcard1)/clockworkmod and delete them...

to my knowledge you don't want to touch the blob files as they may be linked to multiple Nandroids. Rather if you delete the backups from the /backup folder (the ones with the dates) the next time CWM boots to make a recovery or such it'll automatically delete the blob files it no longer needs.

Under /clockworkmod there's only ever been the /backup folder to my knowledge... I assumed he would be able to figure that part out once he browsed to that location and saw /backup
Edit:I take that back. I hadn't done a backup with the latest cwm. But still he should be able top figure out to delete the /backup folder contents and not the blob
Just delete the backups you don't want from CWM.

Do it from recovery.
Only way to properly delete the corresponding blobs.

what version are you using? Every time I try that, it doesn't delete it.

How can I erase stuff on my external SD card

Trying to free up space?
use a app like file explorer.
If you're not using a computer to do so, use a file explorer such as Astro or ES File Explorer, both are free and available in the Play Store. Just throwing this in here, if you plan on deleting CWM backups just boot into Recovery and delete them that way.

You could even use the "My Files" app thats already on your phone

if you're deleting nandroid backups, then do it from recovery. It'd delete appropriate data from your blob folder.

I would recommend going to the recovery and wiping it from there or using a file explorer.:silly:

Are you having trouble just copying the entire respective custom recovery folder onto your computer? I do monthly TWRP backups and just copy the entire folder onto my computer and delete older ones as I do so. Just did that last night actually.

Yea, I've been doing this for a solid 2.5 years going back to my last device. With TWRP, all I transfer over is the actual backup file since the file path does not change. With CWM, I used to copy over the entire CWM folder as it contained the blogs and backups in different folders. Best of luck my friend!

What is thr location of the backups? Check that in settings. Make sure it's data/media/0.
Reboot your phone prior to connecting. It always need a fresh restart to connect properly with MTP
