yesterday I tried to get a backup from boot menu.every thing was good except :
the backup file was include every thing except sd card file.
when I restored backup file lots of softwares had problem because I installed them in sd card.
so how can I get backup include sdcard from boot place.
I didn't really get your question.
When you restored the apps that were on SD Card didn't work?

Hi,
If you want to back up your sd card,take it out,put it in a card reader,and make a copy of it on your pc/laptop.
The backup you made in CWM/4EXT has to be saved somewhere.
It cannot make a copy of the place it is going to be saved.

The only partitions you will have from a full NANdroid backup will be the following:
Boot
System
Data
Cache
.android_secure
The only other information that might not get backed up would be the Dalvik Cache, which is reinitialized every time you start the device. Your applications that are moved to the SD card are backed up in the /data partition backup, not anywhere else. The only data that gets backed up FROM your SD card is .android_secure, which is a special folder Android keeps important stuff for apps in, but your apps truly are in the Data backup.
I am useing CWM 6.0.1 Recovery because it is kexec enabled . I am trying to do a full nandroid backup including the sd card (internal). I have tried the mount /sdcard option and i click backup and i always get. no /sdcard/.android_secure found skipping backup
My apps go on the internal sd card right?
I just restored a nandroid backup from beans rom to Stock and everything seemed right execept the boot logo still has the unlocked logo on it! Factory reset and its still there as well?
Is there anyway to back up internal SD with any recovery?
Why does it feel like nandroid isnt backing it all up and everything isnt the same on restores?
where are the programs installed to if the nandroid backup doesnt include the internal SD? the system
partiton? If so do we have 32gb for apps or just the stem partition?
THANKS
VERY NEW

I used the tutorial to root and unlock my S3 and I do have SU. I have been flashing ROMs on my Thuderbolt with never an issue. So I thought I knew what I was doing.
After creating a nadroid backup. I wiped my data and cache in CWM 6.0.1.0 I tried to install a Liquid S3 Rom but couldn't find. I then mounted my ext. SD and then I was able to locate it. I then installed the zip and it Soft Bricked my phone. So I followed the procedure to restore it and that worked.
I then tried to find my backup and nothing was there.
I then tried to create a new backup. It said it worked but then when I went right back to restore there was no backup. I then mounted my ext. sd and tired to create a back up. It ran the procedure and then said it couldn't find my card.
I am completely lost... I just want a new rom. Any help is greatly appreciated.
need help with loading Rom w/out bricking

Definitely going to need to Odin to be safe.
What type of SD card is it? 32 or 64 GB? If it is and the default format for the card is ExFat, like most that size are, CWM and TWRP cannot read them. Your card needs to be formatted FAT32 or use the internal SD to flash like I do. ExFat is not supported by any recoveries but the stock.
I just copy backups to SD through a file manager or pc. I never bothered to reformat my card.
If not that. Then make sure to check your md5sum as a mismatch means it won't flash well. Usin GooManager is great as it checks by default for you when the download completes. And if it fails it deletes the failure so you don't use it by mistake

Yes, I used Odin to get back to stock using PureMotive's guide.
Its a 32GB card. I did reformat the card using through the settings menu. Not sure if that will put it in FAT32 format?
I was just able to backup on my ext SD and it shows a 1970-02-27 date. If I can find my backup does that mean CWM is reading the ext SD now?
I am scared to try and flash again because I haven't been able to find my restore. Last time I backed up to my internal SD and then after going through the PureMotive guide the backup was no longer there. What steps should I take?
Thanks again!

That's normal. The no sd-ext happens on this device for some reason, but your backup was made correctly and us on your internal. There is a forum on how to get them on your external here somewhere. Rom manager will not allow it to happen. I've just been using internal and making a copy on my cpu just in case.

If you mount the ext-card I am backup there. Otherwise the default location is the internal card. Seems to be working on both.
First off - You have to format your card to FAT32, you cannot do this on the phone using the settings menu. Use these directions to format your card: How to format card to FAT32
If you would like to know why you are having issues with the SD card backups read this: CWM does not support the exFAT filesystem
Also, in CWM you can specify where to save your backup: Options are internal or ext. SD card.

this! everytime you odin back to stock via puremotive's guide or mine it will wipe the internal sd...so yea thats why your backups are lost. as mentioned above, format your sd to fat 32, then when you navigate to backup/restore in cwm, you will see the option "backup to external sd" . i will notate this in my guide when i get chance!
Hi People,

I go to recovery and do a backup
I move the so made backup to my harddisk

What is the problem? Can anybody help?

Are you able to see the backed up folder??
try going in Advance restore. What was the folder name wen u wer saving back from pc to sd card,i mean the path name??
it should be clockwordmod>backup> your backed up folder.
I'm trying to restore a nandroid backup from my external SD card and have run into some problems. I'm using Philz Touch recovery; went to restore my backup and it said "No files found"" when I tapped it. So I created a new nandroid backup to see where the files might be located, and the new nandroid backup is located in the exact same place that the old one was (on the External SD card under ClockworkRecovery/backup). There's a Clockwork backup directory on my Galaxy s4's internal storage, but there are no backup files there.
Any ideas on how to restore?
