[Q] backups

Just got my transformer today, its awesome. I've found one slight annoyance, being that the internal storage is infact an SD card. I use titanium backup to backup my apps but I cant seem to direct titanium to backup to the external SD. If were to install Custom roms would my apps still be intact?

honeycomb recognizes internal storage as SD and your microsd as MicroSD. if you install a custom rom you can restore from titanium still. however, i flashed prime 1.3 over stock without wiping so i lost no data anyways. basically i am just using the internal storage for /system and apps+app storage, and my 32gb sd for all media.

Go to – preferences/backup folder location and then use the backup/return arrow to navigate back to root folder (/). You should see Removable and inside that will be MicroSD if you have one inserted. Create a new folder if you like
You will now backup to the external SD.
Hope this helps.

That's great thanks, what a stupid way, I would expect the back arrow to close the window entirely. Now I just need to figure out how to get double twist to sync to the external sd.

Cwm and internal storage

So my question how can use Cwm to strode the backups to my internal storage and to be able to flash files from the internal storage?

No, CWM store to external micro sd card only at the moment.
Think about it, what if something happen to your TF and you need to do a nandroid restore. Anything on the internal sd card might not be accessable
or in case were you need to wipe your tablet, your nandroid files will be gone.

You have to use only microsd.

[Q] How do I perform a nandroid backup?

Hi there!
I've read a lot about performing a nandroid backup, but how I can I do it? There are several options in CWM, which one is the correct one?
Also, I believe a nandroid backup is a full backup to restore the tab to a previous condition and includes everything: so, after a full wipe (delelte EVERYTHING) I can restore a nandroid backup and all of my files, apps and its data are there, correct?
Last but not least: is it stored directly in the uSD card or in the TF's internal memory?
Thank you!

To do a nandroid:
Go to CWM > Backup and Restore > Backup
You can restore all your saved data from a previous nandroid backup.

Depends on the CWM version you're using.
The older version save only to external micro sd card but the latest version from Team Rouge save to internal and/or external sd card.

My version only saves to micro SD, was panicking when my backups weren't there after taking out my SD card.

Backup

Hi, sorry for another question.
whenever I do backups it doesn't read my external SD card. (Under recovery mode). It goes to the internal memory. Isn't it suppose to go on external sd card?

redirecting CWM backup folder

Like the title says, how do you relocate the backup folder of CWM? My internal sd card is getting full and I want all my back ups to go to my external sd card. I know there is an option on recovery to back up to external, but i want the regular backup to be saved automatically to the external sd card. help would be much appreciated

If you are trying to do that from within the app it will place backup on internal card. No option/setting for external card except in recovery.
