Ended up making two nandroid back ups & just want to delete one of them for the sake of space on my sd card. Is there a way to do this "without" using rom manager ?? Thanks
I'm assuming your talking about the backups from CWM. You can use any file manager such as ES File Manager. The backup is stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.
You can also connect your phone to PC using USB and delete from there.
Gotcha thanx bro
Plug it into your computer and select Disk drive then double click that drive and then double click clockwork then backups.

Is there a way to back up everything from my phone to my Mac

Alternatively, download ROM manager and use it to do a NANDroid backup of all of your data. Titanium is nice but NANDroid back ups will save every single setting where as titanium cannot save widgets etc. If you chose to go the NANDroid backup method to get the backups on your comp, plug it in and mount it as USB storage, open the drive and copy the files in the clockwork recovery backup folder to your comp. I also suggest you name them something that will let you know what the backup is in (I use a simple method: ROMThemeKernelapps, eg: CM7Trin15apps for CyanogenMod 7 with the Trinity 1.5GHz kernel and of course all of my apps).
Newly rooted xoom and have free Titanium backup installed and would like to backup to sd card but I cannot find an option to backup to the sd card. It is backing up to /mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup now.
I cannot find an option to change it to the external sd card.

Create the folder on your sdcard first, then go to the options menu, backup folder...hit detect. It should detect the other folder then. If not you may have to backup a file and move it into the new folder first, then hit detect.

Preferences, Backup Location, change to /sdcard/external/TitaniumBackup
Spaces are not supported.
I emailed TB support and found that I could hit the soft back key on the zoom and it would see all the files instread the few on the screen. I then found the file I would to backup in /mnt/sdcard/external and TB created the backup file there.
The key was finding that I could search for the file using the soft "back" button.
Has anyone been able to get Titanium backup to backup to the removable storage? It wont let me navigate to my ext sd and will only backup to the on device storage! Can copy and paste to ext whenever I want to clean install a rom but kind of a pain!

First create a new folder on your sd card then copy all the backups to your new folder on the sd card.
1. Open Tibu, tab on the 3 stacked little boxes(most top right of the screen),
2. Select "preferences" from the drop down, scroll down to "backup folder location", tab to open,
3. Then tab on "detect" button, then tab on "whole device" button and it will find your new folder location,
4. Then hit the back button to bring you back to previous screen, your new path displayed and you tab on "use the current folder". you done.
If you've never made a backup, then you need to do the following:
In TiBu, Settings --> Preferences --> Backup folder location. Use the back key to navigate to /, then go to /Removable/MicroSD and then you can create a folder in there and use it as your backup location.
Took me a bit of a while to find the location.

this solved my Tibu to ext sd card problem .. also off topic appreciate all your work for Bionic.... John Galt.. . rooted ics .232
You're welcome, and thanks in return for the props. I do what I can
Sorry to hijack this thread but I have a weird issue with Titanium Backup - have the paid version...
I want to set my preferred backup location to be on the micro SD but when I navigate to it Titanium backup says it is not writable and that the folder is empty.
I can write files toitin other apps and it is most definitely not empty, I have the install files for the ROM I'm using stored on it.
The ROM is CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.7.0- 10.16.1.14.8/WW DEODEX
Kernel is 3.1.10-hundsbuah-v3.4.5-oc-gaa752e8-dirty
Any ideas?

FAT32.
It's a 64Gig SANDisk but it also happens on a 4gig and a 1 gig card, both of which are made by Kingston. Oddly enough every other app that writes data can write to these cards. It's only Titanium (paid version too) that seems to think the card is not writeable
Just upgraded to Cromi 5.4, still using Hunds F2FS kernel, but the issue still remains - cannot configure Titanium Backup to write to any Micro SD.
Anyone got any ideas?
ES File Explorer, the simple file explorer and other apps can all write to this card but not Titanium

I have exact setup as your and tibu is working fine for me.
Hi guys, I'm using a Xperia S and I've been trying to flash different stuff into my phone these days
to keep it safe, I usually do back up in recovery mode incase if things goes wrong
but seems that i cant find the button to delete those back ups
(since some of them are useless now and i'd like to remove them to get more storage space)
is it possible for me to remove them?
( I cant find those backups in the ROM manager app)
thank you
Your recovery should have saved those backups onto your external SD card, or the internal equivalent, so you should be able to plug in your phone to your computer and remove them that way.
for cwm, a clockworkmod folder is created in sd card
it has the backup files
by checking the date you can delete the backup file you want to

Hi,
I tried so much alternative for make a backup of my cell and to transfer it on my PC, but i dont see it when i browse from my PC. Nandroid, super backup and titanium are all configured to save backup to storage/emulated/0 but i can only find titatium save from my PC. Nandroid and super backup files cant be find
Im seriously out of idea
Thx
Check /data/media/0
I dont have this path when i browse from my PC
The only way for see my backup is when i did it from Recovery(philz recovery). I can find it in: /clockworkmod/backup
But the backup have a wrong date and time name
bump

Read what maestro write. You have to use root explorer. It is in your phone's root directory.
I know where is my backup on my cell with file explorer. This is not my problem. The problem is i dont find it from my pc. I want to take my nandroid backup and to put it on my computer.
Adb push it to your pc

Ummm that's adb pull actually. You push to the phone and pull from it.
OP: Just use a root explorer and make a copy of the file someplace your comp sees. Copy it over to your comp with MTP then delete it.
Thx that work great when i move it to an other folder. But i dont understand why i dont see it from my computer in clockworkmod/backup when i see it in file explorer
EDIT: Now i can see it in clockworkmod/backup after i moved back it.... Very strange

Internal Storage on the Nexus 5 is /data/media/0, also what /sdcard is symlinked to. This is what is accessed via MTP.
CWM is outdated and uses the legacy location of /data/media/clockworkmod (note the lack of /0).
Therefore you cannot see it while connected to a PC, because you're viewing /data/media/0, not /data/media. It's also why it shows up on your PC when you copy it to another folder, its moved from /data/media/clockworkmod to /data/media/0/clockworkmod (but then CWM won't see it).
With nandroid app, you can decide where you want to make your backup. I tried /data/media/0 and storage/emulated/0 but i dont see it on my PC. Only in my file explorer from my phone. I can only see it on my pc when i move it to an other folder and when i move it back in /data/media/0(i move it with file explorer)
That what a found strange. Anyway, that workaround work so ill use it in the futur
thx guys
