Its saved in : sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
And since it is the same folder that CWM saved its backups to, i find it strange you cannot find the backups made by 4EXT there. The location remains unchanged....it assures full backward compatibility with CWM (4EXT is essentially a steroid-infused derivative of the original CWM)

Want to get started in the process of taking apart and rebuilding ROMS.
However confused as to exactly what a NANDROID backup is and how to create.
Is it the backup created from ClockworkMOD?
The Backup created when I do a Reboot using the Volume and Power Key (Voodoo Kernel is installed)
Or another method?
What I have read so far says it will be in a folder called NANDROID. I can not find that folder on the card or System mem.
Any tips appreciated.

The backup that is created in CWM or voodoo recovery is a nandroid backup. Both recoveries offer an option to do a backup, and it will be stored in CWM's backup folder on your sdcard.
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Thanks. kind of thought so. But wanted to be certain as most I have read so far specified a NANDROID backup option in the Boot Screen.
Again you are the man..
I have backed up my ROMs... Working from CWM it finds the backups, but in recovery mode, it can't find them (restore). Ideas??

Have you been on a stock ROM, then backed up your ROM right before going to a 4.2 ROM?
If you've made a leap to a 4.2 ROM, CWM does not recognize your backups due to the multi-user changes.
Or is CWM just not recognizing your backups in general?

Did you backup using a 4.1 ROM and then subsequently upgraded to a 4.2 ROM (e.g., did you go from CleanROM to CM10.1)? If so, your backups are now saved under the folder 0/clockworkmod/backup (as opposed to /clockworkmod/backup). Thus, when you go into recovery, CWM cannot find the backup, as it does not recognize the 0 folder.
What I've done is go into a file explorer (like ES File Explorer), go into the 0/ folder, and then move the clockworkmod/backup folder to the SD card (the goal is to not have your backups in that 0 folder).
That is what worked for me. Hopefully that works for you as well.
Hi all, I'm on CM10.2 and decided to try another ROM...
I did a CWM backup and now I can't restore because CWM doesn't show my backup, that's really annoying because I can see the clockwork/backup folder in Root Explorer app.
Any idea to get CWM restore my backup correctly??

I had that problem before. Not sure about the original CWM recovery, but Philz version has a config setting that allows you to change the path to storage between /data/media and /data/media/0. The path changed in 4.2.x due to multiuser capability. Once you change it, you should be able to see your backups. Or, another option is just to copy your clockworkmod folder manually.
Thnx for all, but I already deleted my backup folder and setup my data all again...
Hi i need help ASAP,
I backed up my phone with CWM it made a folder as a backup.
When I tried to restore the backup I navigated to the folder and it showed me inside that folder (like there are no files) instaed of starting the backup procces.
one more problem is that now i flashed another ROM with TWR and I didn't know it will be with TWR so I am not sure I can backup CWM with it.
please refer to my 2 questions as it combined.
Can you clarify if CWM is able to restore the Backup ? If its not, then the backup was not made successfully.
To your Question, are you saying you flashed TWRP Recovery and then flashed the new Rom ? If that's the case then the CWM backup can't be restored by TWRP.
EDIT - I should caution you that it is not a good idea to restore the backup made by one Recovery with another.
Flashed the 5.1 update, and then flashed the CWM recovery (Philz Touch). I proceeded to do a backup, when I went to my folder afterwards with root explorer, I do not see the backups, however going into the CWM shows the backups. I like to copy my backups over to a flash drive. Any ideas why root explorer is not seeing them but CWM shows all my backups even older ones prior to updating to 5.1? Thank you in advance.

Yes you have, and I appreciate your assistance, however I had problems with TWRP so I moved back to CWM. Yes I am aware it is old and outdated. Going to media/data/ I can see the backup. I did the restorecon, so I thought, but even with TWRP if I try to restore an old backup and I move it to the TWRP backup folder it does not see it, even when it is under data/media/ folder. Any ideas? Am I just not understanding or missing something?

CWM: uses /data/media/ so you cannot see it's stuff properly from within Android
TWRP: uses /data/media/0 so you should be able to see it properly from within Android
If you cannot see TWRP backups from within Android, you either have an issue with TWRP or you did not put your backup in the correct directory.
If you cannot see CWM backups from within Android, it is normal.
