Hello,
is there any disadvantage if you make a backup with CWM on external than on internal SD card ?
Any risk ?
Is it possible to move external SD card to another phone (same type) and then restore it ?

I don't see a difference between internal and external backups. My current phone doesn't have an SD card, so all of my backups go to the internal, and it is just the same as my previous phone that had an SD card.
To answer your second question...yes. You can transfer the SD to another phone of the same type and restore a backup.

hey , i have a p3100 rooted with CWM 5.5.0.4 and running CM9 RC2 and i just tried doing a full backup and it comes up with, "error while making backup of /data/
does that mean its not backing up app data or system data or both?, and how bad can this be, can i still recover from a backup thats failed the data backup?
thanks in advanced
It could be due to lack of space.
As i know cwm version 5 backup all the data in internal sd card to external sd card so if you put a lot of data as apps and pics and videos in internal sd card and had small size or low space in external sd card or near filled external sd card this error could occur as not enough space for data of internal sd card to be backup in external sd card
Solutions :
1-move as much data as pics and videos etc from internal sd card to computer for example before backup
3-free as much space from external sd card to have a free space that can accomodate the backup
3-or buy a new big size external sd card and leave space enough in it for backup

Hello,
I have installed TWRP 2.3.3 on my LG G2x (rooted Android 2.3.4 OS) per the instructions on the teamwin website http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/63. I can backup to the internal SD but the external SD backups disappear upon reboot after backup. I can see the external SD backups after backup but before reboot via file manager (although the dates are wrong....they say 2007). But, when I reboot, all that was written to the external SD is lost. If I copy the internal SD backup over to the external SD, then TWRP sees it on both the internal and external SD (it is not lost or deleted). My external SD card is a 32gb class 10 card formatted with FAT 32. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can get TWRP backup to external SD working? Thanks.
I would have posted to the appropriate developers forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749678&page=9 , but I am not allowed as I am a noob with less than 10 posts . Thanks.

Never mind . I ran H2testw software on my SD card and determined that is is a fake. Sold to me on ebay as a 32gb card and it is actually only a 2gb card!! Filing a dispute with the seller right now!!
I have been trying different roms and loading apps at the same time. Half the apps have disappeared even after restoring them with Titanium but the URGENT question is how to clean up my memory? (BTW) Whats the difference between sd card and ext sd card?
Thanks for the help.

Obviously SD card refers to the internal memory and ext(ernal) SD card is basically the Micro SD card storage it is the smartphone version of internal and external hard drive. You will have to delete the backup apps to free up memory located in the Titanium Backup folder. all in all it is the same as what you would do on your laptop or desktop.
Hey! I need help!!
I have an samsung galaxy s5 with cm 12 as my Rom. Now my internal SD card is full.
I have an SD card. I want to send the big apps to that SD card, but I can't... Because the external sd card is saved as Sdcard1. The SDcard is some kind of second partition of my internal storage and this storage is full. The apps I tried wanted to send the data/apps to the SDcard (which is full...). What can I do to fix my problem???
