[Q] Virtuous Inquisition Titanium Backup Issue

Whenever I do a batch restore on Titanium Backup, the apps do not show up. It says that the restore is complete, but no apps.
Am I doing it wrong?

which ROM do u have? I had exact Problem on ICS, but u can restore apps from SD card Manually, they are located in Titanium backup folder, after that you can run batch operation to restore DATA for that apps from TB, it worked for me...

Blobs are folders with different applications and files. So better to take backup with both of folder. Be careful, If any file would be missing, you would lost whole backup. BTW, if you want then Just restore your that backup & select format in CWM backup in recovery. i.e. .Tar format.
Then delete blobs Using CWM & take backup. Save it..simple.:angel:

Yes you can..But V6 has lots of options then V4

You can create tar backups in CWMv6. It's much simpler.
