I did a factory reset and it wiped my internal SD as expected, but it also wiped system files I backed up on my external SD but not my music? Is there a way to store titanium backups so they do not get erased?

You can sync it to dropbox or drag and drop the file to a computer.

I figured it out. Doing the factory reset in recovery doesn't wipe internal storage versus doing it from inside the phone does.

You can change where TB stores its backups and move them to the external SD card.

When I take back up from ClockWork recovery it does not back up apps and data. Am I right ? or it does ?
Thanks
It does.

Hmm, apps are stored in the data portion of the backup. Where do you install your apps? To SDcard or to the phone's internal storage? If you're not installing them to the internal storage I'm not sure where they would be or whether they're being backed up at all.
If you're not installing them to the SD card, try this. Do your restore then reboot then go back into recovery and do an advanced restore and just do /Data.
I used titanium backup and after i flashed and installed it again, my apps weren't on it. Anyone know why? (wipe cache, dalvik, and data)
Check your backup folder location in TI Preferences.

Yeah this has happened to me a few times once you go to that folder there is an option to search for backups on the device.
On a side note before I back up with titanium backup I go to this option and pick the location I want to backup to and restore from making sure its on the external sd card..

You back-ups are being stored on the phones internal storage card [5GB] not the external storage [actual card - 32 gb in my case]. Just change the back-up location.

Hi I was wondering when you wipe the system and data does it delete everything on the internal memory like music and photos?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
If you do fastboot -w you will lose everything (experience). Not sure about factory reset. But if you have the rogue recovery you can turn off wiping /data/media and do a factory reset that won't erase all you data on your internal sdcard.

Wiping system data clears the data folder (user settings, downloaded apps...etc). Your picture and music folders should remain as is.
Hey everyone. I have maybe five or six back ups on my external sd and I tried deleting them through cwm, it doesn't delete the unnecessary blobs I have. My backups take over 15-20gigs.

After you deleted the backups, did you select the option in recovery to "Free up space" on the internal or external sd card?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No I didn't see that. Will that delete just the blobs?

It'll delete the blobs that are not needed
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
It deletes the excess blob files associated with the backups that you deleted. That's why they are separate options: delete backups and free up space. If you deleted backups saved on the internal, free up space on the internal via CWM. Same goes for the external sd card. It won't be a night and day difference unless you deleted say 4 backups of the 6 you previously had.

If I'm running out of space on the internal SD card, can I just cut/paste the backup folder to my external SD card or does that mess up the backup/blobs?
Weird. It didn't free up space on my external sd

You would need to take the entire clock work mod folder.

You need to cut/paste the entire CWM folder which contains both the actual backup folder AND blobs folder. CWM backups are a two part deal. You're fine if you do this, I copy/paste one entire backup to my computer.maybe once a month. I only keep one backup on my phone and an older one on a computer.

How many backups do you have on your external sd card?

Hmm, 5 backups at 2 GB apiece should take up about 12-14 gb now. How large is the backup folder and how large is the blobs folder? You may have to delete more to delete more backups and free up space.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
The thing about the blobs are they are the shared data between your backups so if you deleted 5 backups but they were the same ROM just different days. It will only delete the blobs that were that ROM. So if your 5 now a're all different you really still have 5 full backups that still take around 10 gb or so.

Sounds about right then. I have 6 backups and blobs take up about 12gigs.thanks guys!

Trying to do a back up on my p3110 8gb, and don't really have enough space to do it,
For some reason it is also saving it before the SD card folder in data/media/something/backup/date
When I try to move it it tells me cannot move files after it attempts and moves a few I'm guessing this is due to file size and running out of space....
Is there a way to get cwm to save the backup to external SD, or at least to SD card directory instead of root? So I can copy the files onto my computer?
Or do I need to go on a deleting spree and potentially lose some gaming data....

Yeah, just pick backup to external. Its like the forth or fifth option down in cwms backup and restore menu
