Nandroid backs up the following partitions (and all their contents) -
-System (all system apps and settings)
-Data (all user apps and settings)
-Recovery
-Boot (your kernel)
-Cache
-.android_secure (a folder in your SD card used to save application data)

[APP][4.0+] Secure Data Destruction

Secure Data Destruction for Android is a tool to destroy files so they can not be recovered.
It will overwrites the actual content of those files, so a file recovery app may be able to restore these files but the content will be destroyed.
You should used it to destroy sensitive files before selling your device.
You can:
1. Wipe files: you select one or more files with the checkboxes and press the trash icon. The selected files will be overwritten. After the files are cleaned, they will be truncated, renamed and then deleted.
2. Wipe free space: press the card in the list that you want to wipe. You can choose between the internal memory, an external microsd (FAT) or a USB key (FAT). After a confirmation, it will be filled with temporary files until the card is full to overwrite previously deleted files. These temporary files will be deleted at the end of the operation.

Looking forward to seeing how this will improve. It will definatly come in handy.

Why has it been removed from the Play Store?

My suggestion. Try to integrate to clear all external storage with SMS command.

v2.0.1
New version with:
a Material Design interface
wipe microSD free space is fixed on android 4.4
selection of files from a files manager or gallery was added
an option to clear files in cache before wiping free space

How to allow permission for external storage in titanium backup on Android 6.0.1

I have set external storage as backup location in titanium backup.
while selecting external storage as backup location it shows external storage not write able. whenever I do backup it always fails.
Plz help me to give permission for external storage as backup location in titanium backup on Marshmallow.

Please try this.
" you can simply create a folder on the external sdcard,using the following folder-structure: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
If you already have existing backups, move them with a file-explorer from their current place to: /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/ Lastly, go to the preferences of TitaniumBackup, choose “Backup folder location” and choose the above specified folder.
Finish."

You are THE man. Works beautifully, although I would be interested in an explanation why the folder path and nameon the external SD seem to allow for write access but in other locations not...

Titanium Backup can't write to external sd card in nougat.

..

loner, I had similar if not same probs, but saw post somewhere here that recommended going to TiBu's Prefs, Backup Folder locaeion, & going to the pick bar for 'Storage Type' ]ust above Tibu's Detect button, choose Document Provider & I found it left it @ External Storage & I just hit Detect fm there, & it 'found' my directory w/Tibu backups & after closing & reopening TiBu I've been back in business, able to have TiBu see my card… & TiBu backups in TitaniumBackup Dir of my microsd card.
There may be something that requires you go to root of card & hit Select button on lower R of screen, but its late & that may be coming up in my mind as a requirement for granting access to Solid Explorer & the ilk when 1st trying to do a File Manager type task I.e. copy or moving files… but
it could be an issue here as well- I'm happily protecting my user/system apps w/TiBu & using backed up apps to delete the main app, re-d/l w/PlayStore. & restore my data W/TiBu restore to confirm I had a buggy version of the app...
