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.

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.

When you install from SDCARD to flash whatever (Custom Rom, Kernel, etc.) does it have to be an actual SDCARD on the dock or is it in reference to the "Sdcard" internal memory (16gb, 32gb) that is built-in storage for the Transformer?
EDIT: i mean micro sdcard.
that depends on what you whant to do.
some installs need files on an micro-SD-card.
what do you want to do?
CWM recovery only read from the removable micro sd card.
Thanks guys, yeah it was to flash things thru ClockworkMod. I ended up just pulling the microSD out of my phone to install stuff. Kind of annoying but it works.
It's because /mnt/sdcard -> /sdcard is provided by the internal memory on the ASUS TF101, and CWM expects the tablets card slot, AFAIK.
From my own past "Crap, that didn't work" experiences with nvflash, I can tell you that the docks SD card slot will NOT work, you need the MicroSD card slot on the actual tablet.

Hey, this is my first tablet. The only other android device I own is a Nexus One (and I've done a LOT of stuff with it, so please don't assume I'm a complete noob!)
I realize that my transformer has 16GB of internal storage... is there a way I can backup my data so a partition or something so when I do a factory reset I don't lose all my /sdcard data? Similar to how I do stuff on my nexus one? My buddy with the nexus s doesn't have to pop in an SD card or anything (not that he even can) and he can still flash roms and his user data is still safe. How are people doing this on the transformer?
As of right now CWM recovry only work with an external micro sd card.

The problem with the TF is that /data and /sdcard (internal) are part of the same partition, so I suppose if you wipe /data, you will be wiping also /sdcard. Thats the maily reason of using an external SD card.
Aside from that, Root Toolkit can save a complete image of your tablet via APX into your PC (if you don't want to use CWM).

^^^ how to use external sd card as main sd card, am not sure how this works with CWM

CWM should behave equal since you're linking your external sd card to /sdcard. If CWM uses /Removable/MicroSD to mount the external sd card, you won't notice any difference.
In the process of upgrading ICS ROM's I think I messed up my CWM recovery (3.2.0.1)
I mistakenly formatted staging and pretty much everything else that can be formatted within the mounts and storage part of CWM.
Now recovery cannot see my Micro SDCard, it can't mount it either. Nor can I mount USB storage.
I tried installing the nvflash version of the rogue recovery, then reflashed the older 3.2.0.1 recovery from Roach to see if that would reset things, but I'm still having the same issues with not being able to access my MicroSD card.
I want to stick with this recovery as I don't like having all the various ROM files on the internal card (which is why I bought a 32GB external that I can keep all of the stuff I download from XDA).
So my current attempt is to go back to HC by using the revolver NVFlash, which I am hoping fixes my recovery also.
EDIT: this didn't resolve things for me either!! Argh! Still can't mount the MicroSD card.
If it doesn't, can anyone offer suggestions?
Thanks!
The Team Rouge recovery read from external micro sd card as well.

Thanks...but for some reason my TF can't mount the MicroSD (external) anymore, whether it's Roach 3.2.0.1 or Team Rogue.
I've nvflashed back to revolver 3.11 HC, and the SD card shows up fine in the ROM, but not in recovery.
Something has gone wrong and I am not sure how to resolve.
I wonder if putting the device completely back to stock (unrooted also) would help?
I would try and format your sd card again on a PC, try sd formatter
https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/SDFormatterv3.0.zip
Just copy the content of the micro sd card to a pc, format and copy it back.
What do I lose if I perform a factory reset?
You format the system memory to 64GB?
Are deleted, documents, photos, videos, and everything else?
all your apps and settings. Anything not stored in the storage.
Don't quote me on it, but I believe your pictures stored on the internal memory should still be there. The SD card will not be touched, but you can pull it out if you want to error on the side of caution.
The problem is that if I connect the TAB to your PC via USB I can not see all the files.

it wipe everything on your internal memory (SDcard). It will not touch your external SDcard (removable). If you use root explore and look in the root, you will see folder; SDCard (this is internal memory) and Removable (this is external sd card).
removing the microSD ...
titanium backup:
792MB ROM
INSIDE: 60.4
SDcard: 60.4
the internal SDcard (64GB) is formatted?
Factory reset wipes EVERYTHING. I made the mistake of doing it because it doesn't wipe everything on my Epic 4G Touch. Lost all my pictures, downloads, roms, school work, Oops! Good thing I backed up to Google Drive before hand!

Seems to me you have an empty internal sdcard.(formatted).
