hey all,
i know that on other android devices there is a folder on the sdcard called 'clockworkmod' where nandroid backups are stored.

can someone point me in the right direction as i need to deleted some outdated backups.
many thanks
it's store on the removable micro sd card

Hi. Does anyone know how to backup ROM to ext-SD in CWM Rec?
I have not enough Space on internal and therefore the backup does not work for me.
Any suggstions?
Thanks.
EDIT:
I just found out that is working now, after reinstalling CWM and deleting the CWM Folder from internal SD.
Okay so I just installed CM7 which worked fined and i was reading that i should partition my sd card. So I made a copy of my sd card on my computer and continued to partition my sd card 256/64. After the partition I just moved the file back to my sd card in recovery mode. I then rebooted which worked fine and syncd my google account. I installed simple2ext so i could move my cache to my sd card because i was unable to update rom manager and su or able to install any apps bigger than simple2ext. I installed titanium backup and noticed i had nothing to restore so I was going to go back to my original rom to back everything up again. I backed up cm7 then went to restore my original rom and all my previous roms I had backed up were gone.
Is there something I did worng? and am i able to get them back.
I did some searching and looked in my sd card from my computer and looked in clockwork folder and found my backup folder. I tired to move all of them back but said insufficient space and was only able to move one.
So now my question is did all my data from sd card not transfer over?
o noo that sucks man
if you made a rom backup, it would indeed be in the clockwork folder, as the progam that makes the backup is nandroid which is intergrated in the clockwork mod. Titanium backup is only for backing up loose apps and had nothing to do with rom backups.
If you still have the clockwork folder with the backups in them on your computer you should be fine. just transfer the one you want to use (they are named with dates and times) to the SD and go back into the recovery mode and use the restore option.
if you don't have enough space on your SD card, maybe you should make some available for the rom.

Yup found them on the sd card on computer. But how come they did not transfer after I recopied the SD card?
Had the same thing happen to me when I was on my GNEX. I now enabled dropbox to keep backup copies as well.
Something similar happened to me when I tried a ROM with 4ex recovery in lieu of clockwork. when i tried to access my backup it told me something about invalid md5 sum and backup failed. like it didn't exist. If all is still on your PC perhaps you should reformat the card then re-partition using a different source, and re-try.

Hi to every one.. I just would like to ask the location of my backup files
im using ext4 recovery to back up my stock rom. every time i flash roms i usually clean the every cache and dalvic even ext 3 to 4. now after using different roms,downloading and stalling applications in my Ds. my sd card is currently populated and im planning to reformat it. Just a heads-up for me before doing that. I would like to ask if my backup file(stock rom) is located in my SDcard,since i dont want to take a risk of removing my backup.Hope any body can help me.
Backups will be stored in Sdcard/4ext/backup.. It's just simple like that.
If you were using cwm before, 4ext will save backups in clockworkmod/backup or something like that. I copy backups from Sd card to PC nearly every day but I simply don't know the exact folder names, sorry

thanks for the headsup..i check if that ext4 folder is present in my sd card..Thanks..
I just ran 4ext but the backup directory is empty when I browse it over USB from my windows7 machine
what gives? I need to save the backup off the card before I repartition it
/sdcard/clockworkmod/Backup/<Backup Name Directory>
I'm trying to restore a nandroid backup from my external SD card and have run into some problems. I'm using Philz Touch recovery; went to restore my backup and it said "No files found"" when I tapped it. So I created a new nandroid backup to see where the files might be located, and the new nandroid backup is located in the exact same place that the old one was (on the External SD card under ClockworkRecovery/backup). There's a Clockwork backup directory on my Galaxy s4's internal storage, but there are no backup files there.
Any ideas on how to restore?
Hi All,
I'm trying to do a full backup of an N5 but I can't find the nandroid backups anywhere. I can see them from Clockworkmod (though it's called '1970-03-07.17.53.47' for some reason) but I've used xplorer and ES File Explorer to look in /SDCARD/ClockWorkMod/ and the folder is empty not even a backup folder. I've tried doing a system search for the '1970-03-07.17.53.47' I mentioned it's named at as in CWM but no luck.
I want the file so I can download it to my pc along with other backups and make further backups as i am on a custom rom (omnirom) now.. How do I find where the backup is saved? I need to move it to my pc and delete it to make further backups. Also, Can i delete it from that location and can i save it in the regular clockworkmod backup folder location for further backups? I am losing about 4.17 gb data for that backup and want a simple backup without all the apps and data that wouldnt be so large.
Thanks in advance.
click the link in my signature and look at section 5.4 - the answer is in there if you're using basic CWM
