here's the deal, I got only 8gb microsd, and 6gb freespace internal storage
whenever I make nandroid backup using phillz, I always backup it on my 32gb otg flash drive
I always use titanium backup to restore apps+datas from nandroid backup, since the usual method always freeze/hang, so I copied the cwm backup to external microsd first, then, using titanium to restore it
recently my nandroid backups reach 7.63 gigs, and since my ext card only has 7.6 gb, so there isn't enuff space to copy the cwm backup onto the ext sd
and unfortunately titanium backup doesnt detect cwm backups on usb otg , is there a way to make it detect cwm backup on usb otg ?
thanks
Refer to this
One other thing worth mention is when you make CWM(Phillz) backup, make sure there is no previous backuped file in your device. CWM backup will backup everything including old CWM Backups, doesn’t matter it’s stored in External SD or internal, that’s totally waste of space. May it be the reason why you got 7G backup?
I think this is a major feature request...
It can't be that difficult to implement restoring NANDROID Backups from otg.
I have the same problem with a Motorola (falcon) with only 8gb memory where it is impossible to restore a backup, because I don't have enough space to have the data and the full backup within 8gb.

Titanium Backup... requires root access.
Titanium Backup but if you want a complete back even of your firmware then a Nandroid backup using CWM
But Titanium backup doesn't backup folders!

Titanium Backup covers everything you need to restore the device after a factory reset. A factory reset normally does not affect the internal or external sdcard (which you can easily backup yourself).
Titanium Backup can save external app data (unlimited, never or up to a certain amount of memory), configurable in the settings.
But as you backup to the internal or external sd card, TB would backup itself when storing everything blowing up the backup.
Hello, when I select backup to external SD and I then select advance restore from external sd after the backup, it gives me some option such as restore, system, data, and even external SD. However, it doesn't provide the option of restoring internal SD. Why? When I made a Nandroid backup, isn't it backup everything?

No, when you make a Nandroid backup, it backups two folders, /data and /system. /sdcard0 is not backed up when creating a Nandroid Backup. You would need to use another utility such as Titanium Backup.
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?
Well, I have had a problem with magisk yesterday, and I have an old backup of my system and data on my pc. I restored my system but my data backup is about 16gb and i copied it over but there is not enough room for it to restore. I looked up how to restore a TWRP backup folder from PC so I would have the room on my device, and was wondering if anyone had a guide I could follow?
I had my Galaxy S7 crash on my recently (rebooted the phone and was told SystemUI wasn't responding, so the phone stayed at a black screen).
Shortly before the crash I did a Nandroid backup of the phone as I was thinking of doing an OS update. That Nandroid backup is stored on my SD card.
Anyways, I did a factory reset, and am now trying to restore all my data. I've installed Titanium Backup, and trying to use the 'Restore from Nandroid backup' feature. I've given TiB SD card access, but it still can't seem to see the TWRP folder on the SD Card. I'd move the backup to my internal memory, but there isn't enough free space. I can barely fit the Nandroid backup on the internal SD, but there will be no room for the restored data.
Does anyone have an idea of how I can get TiB to see this folder on the SD card, or otherwise restore the Nandroid data?

What exactly do you want to restore from the nandroid backup? All of it? Or just certain parts?
