Hi
I just performed a nand backup of my device to flash some custom roms on it, but I can't find backup files to move them to my PC. I know they are stored in This PC\Nexus 5\Internal storage\clockworkmod\backup but when I go there both from pc or file explorer on device there is no backup folder in clockworkmod. I suspected that backup may have failed but device used storaged has increased for a good 5 GBs and besides this, when I go to recovery mode the backup is there and I can restore it and the address is sdcard\clockworkmod\backup. any Ideas?

How do you do a restore of a TWRP Backup of a ROM or the original Asus JB OS? I tried to restore the backup I did before flashing the CROMi-X ROM. When I try to do a restore in TWRP and goto the Micro SD Memory card I have the backup on it does not show any files. Do you have to use the same version of TWRP that you backed up in order to restore or can you use the same version or higher?
Thanks
TWRP can only read fat32. Are you sure your microSD is formatted correctly?
Unless the TWRP version you used to make the nandroid and your current one are miles apart, it should work. Hard to tell since you didn't post any versions.
I have TWRP 2.6.3 and it is able to read the memory card and see the Flash ZIP file. I used TWRP 2.6.1 to back up The Asus Stock ROM before flashing the custom ROM. When TWRP does a backup does it backup the Data and how my screens are set up or only the operating system?

It depends what options you checked when you made the nandroid. If you left the default selection, TWRP backed up both system and data.
If TWRP can read your microSD, what's your problem? I don't understand - since you wrote earlier that TWRP doesn't see any files??
2.6.3 and 2.6.1 are compatible. You shouldn't have a problem restoring the nandroid.

Let me Rephrase that I meant when I do a restore funtion it does not see any files but if I do a Flah funtion or use the file manager it does see files.

Did you manually copy the nandroid to the card?
It has to be nested exactly like TWRP created the folder or TWRP will not recognize it.
Something like TWRP/Backups/your-serial-number/date of backup/

I can't see my serial number because I'm in a bootloop, how can I see it inside twrp?
While in recovery run this command frog your PC:
Code:
adb get-serialno
There's also a Terminal cmd that you could run in TWRP's terminal. Not certain but I think it's just
Code:
id
Does anyone know if there is an app that makes backup to usb drive?

Titanium backup works for me.
Any way to do this? There were a lot of Nand apps in the past but they've all mysteriously vanished. Titanium backup still has a restore from nand/twrp backup option, but it's pro only.
What do you exactly need to backup?

It wasn't necessarily backup, but just recovery. I'm recovering some apps and their data from a bootlooping TWRP backup. I know it is possible to an extent because I was manually able to move my Google Authenticator data to a fresh install, just wanted to do it with the rest of my apps.
