I was using Galaxy Tab 2 (p3100) and now moving to my first Galaxy Note 3.
All my files that were encrypted via GalleryVault is locked because I don't copy the "Backup" files (from internal storade) that should be copied.
Can I restore the files? decrypted? How can?
I don't copy the backup foder because I was mistakenly assuming in FAQ that I should copy the backup folder .thinkyeah. In FAQ, it doesn't mentioning that the backup folder is placed in Internal Storage. Since I have find that there is already folder .thinkyeah, I don't do more exploration.

same problem here, anybody ?

I use MyBackup Pro and it can store its backups on an external SD card. I've searched but haven't been able to discover if Titanium has this same capability. If a phone needs to be replaced, what good is it to have the backup internally? I know I can perform a copy of the TitaniumBackup folder to my external SD card (or my PC) along with its files, but can it be done automagically as a program option during the backup?
Titanium allows you to change the name of the backup folder, so I went so far as to keep the TitaniumBackup folder name but point the folder location to the SD card (\sdcard\sd). No luck...unless my syntax is wrong.
So, in summary, I want to have the Titanium Backups deposited on my external SD card as part of the normal, one-step backup process. If it can't be done, I wonder why it hasn't been implemented as an option since it seems logical (at least to me ).
oh yes i would like this too, but can it be done?
Drop the sdcard and use a relative path. I have several directories on my external card. I have a main titanium directory with subdirectories for the roms I load..for example here's my current path:
sd/TitaniumBackup/JH7

Thank you! I just heard back from the developer and was about to post his reply (which equals yours). My backup is now at sd/TitaniumBackup.
For others, here's what you do - assuming you're using an external SD card. In Titanium's preferences change the backup folder name to sd/TitaniumBackup. If you need to exchange your device you can then put your SD card in your new phone and restore the backups contained therein.
Don't forget to delete the existing backups and TitaniumBackup folder that's, by default, internal to your phone. Then create your "portable" backups.
so after you make the change, when you open up and see stats page, backup directory should say: /sdcard/sd/titaniumbackup ?

Yes, plus the first two directory items should read:
Data directory: /data
External storage: /sdcard (ok)
Is is safe to delete files .asec inside .android_secure folder in our internal SD? I have 1.46GB files in it. I believe, it's a files where A2SD stored when we moved the application to SD Card. I'm doing a fresh ROM installation to my phone. Wipe everything. Internal/External SD is not touch in this process.
I had perform a backup to every application and data using Titanium Backup. Is it safe to delete these files. I still can restore it using Titanium Backup with setting "restore to original location" right?
Thanks.
Hello, answering your question, yes, it's safe to delete these files, and also, it's recommended to delete these files when you will perform a clean ROM installation, so don't worry when you restore your applications with titanium, automatically the files will restore in that folder, if not, just move the desired application to your SD and no problem
Cya!!
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
Ok. Thanks.
Are they some kind of temp files or are they used for storing app data/settings?
What i'm getting to is, can i safely delete them and not lose any data stored in associated apps?
Could someone tell me where CWM stores its backup files in Nexus 5/KiKat?
My Samsung phones allowed CWM to store its backups on either the internal memory or the externalSD. They were in a folder named "Clockworkmod" And sub-folder "backups"
I can see the main folder on my Nexus 5, but not a sub-folder. I know the backup files must be somewhere as CWM lists 3 of them when I select the restore option.
I'm trying to find them to rename them since CWM 6.0.4.5 names all the files with a date of "1970-03-07" instead of a legitimate date.
Thanks for the assistance.
/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/

We all know, at least I hope so, that if you perform a backup in TWRP the internal storage data (photos, documents, etc.) is not included in the backup.
https://twrp.me/faq/backupexclusions.html
Of course, you can always manually backup the internal storage. But it is possible to include the internal storage data in a TWRP backup by temporarily renaming the media folder inside the root folder data.
A TWRP backup includes the TWRP folder for it is part of the internal storage. Therefore it will also backup all the large files which are present. It is therefore more convenient to keep the TWRP folder as small as possible, but it is up to you.
1. Go into TWRP recovery.
2. The path is button advanced button file management within the data folder you will find the media folder. Rename the media folder
temporarily to e.g. ABC.
3. Perform a new backup in TWRP and give it a new name. Don't leave TWRP but enter file management again.
4. You will find a new media folder. This is because TWRP creates this media folder, it includes your new backup.
5. Your follow-up actions will be to rename the new media folder into e.g. DEF and rename the temporary folder ABC (which is the original media folder)
back to media.
6. Restart your system and now you find a TWRP backup including internal storage in the DEF folder. Move this backup to the TWRP folder and delete
the DEF folder.
Thats it.
Do not forget when you perform a recovery with this backup to repeat step 6.

OK I found another post, using same method but used examples.
Indeed they are using same method,
and I would like to thank OP and that post's OP.
both help to "include internal storage into TWRP backup".
thanks~

Can you write in more simple english?
I really dont understand the details.
It will help with examples, with the full path instead of just "ABC" "DEF"
Thank you.
Good looking out OP. Never know when I may need this. :good:
a very good guide
you can always use
thanks for your effort! if you like you can test my solution
Universal-TWRP-Bind-Mount-Enabler.zip (do not flash!)
Thanks mart56, I am looking for this for some time and now i got right solution. it's really help me with internal storage backup.
Excellent
If backing up to external SD Card, media directory is not created, so just rename it back after the backup process. If rebooted without renaming back, then it recreates media directory.
.
I was looking for full back up solution and found this: https://www.xda-developers.com/tipatch-patches-twrp-full-data-backups/
Both options have drawbacks... I dont like wipe data option in TWRP to delete data including storage .

As I understand our media should be back up in ABC. So during recovery after "format data" or "wipe including internal storage" it will restore our media in ABC folder, do we need to rename it back to media using TWRP to complete recovery?
My understanding is that internal storage will stay in ABC, and not be visible when boot in System(not doing step 5). In system we will have the newly created media empty (because we can not do step 6 DEF folder is actual internal storage and will not be included in back up).
So do you mean that we need to do step (5) after recovery? Not step (6)?
useless
whenever i tried to take a backup,the same error pops up,even after following ur instructions.so ur post is useless for me.
Guys, does anybody know, why twrp doesn't see an option data including storage (large sd needed) while I am trying to restore it? It definitely is present in the backup
I followed this guide and the backup size is 28591MB (boot, data, system). However, the internal memory of my S4mini is only 8GB. How can the /data/media folder be bigger than the internal memory? It is not stored on the external sd card is it?
UPDATE: I deleted the /data/media/0/DCIM/.thumbnail folder and now the backup is only 4950MB
V helpful and useful tip Thanks
The subject says it all...... Anyone know of any way to do this on a stock android file system?? (7.0 Nougat)
Thanks

Partition /data/media contains all of the contents of what you think of as your internal sdcard.
To backup it use ADB Backup method.
Thanks

SO if I copy data/media/0 over too my external SD card it would be the same a creating a .tar file from within TWRP??
A .TAR-file is a compressed archive-file, whereas a simple copy of files / folders always is uncompressed.
Other than compression, either way would have identical backup content; that's what I was asking.
