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?

Okay so I just installed CM7 which worked fined and i was reading that i should partition my sd card. So I made a copy of my sd card on my computer and continued to partition my sd card 256/64. After the partition I just moved the file back to my sd card in recovery mode. I then rebooted which worked fine and syncd my google account. I installed simple2ext so i could move my cache to my sd card because i was unable to update rom manager and su or able to install any apps bigger than simple2ext. I installed titanium backup and noticed i had nothing to restore so I was going to go back to my original rom to back everything up again. I backed up cm7 then went to restore my original rom and all my previous roms I had backed up were gone.
Is there something I did worng? and am i able to get them back.
I did some searching and looked in my sd card from my computer and looked in clockwork folder and found my backup folder. I tired to move all of them back but said insufficient space and was only able to move one.
So now my question is did all my data from sd card not transfer over?
o noo that sucks man
if you made a rom backup, it would indeed be in the clockwork folder, as the progam that makes the backup is nandroid which is intergrated in the clockwork mod. Titanium backup is only for backing up loose apps and had nothing to do with rom backups.
If you still have the clockwork folder with the backups in them on your computer you should be fine. just transfer the one you want to use (they are named with dates and times) to the SD and go back into the recovery mode and use the restore option.
if you don't have enough space on your SD card, maybe you should make some available for the rom.

Yup found them on the sd card on computer. But how come they did not transfer after I recopied the SD card?
Had the same thing happen to me when I was on my GNEX. I now enabled dropbox to keep backup copies as well.
Something similar happened to me when I tried a ROM with 4ex recovery in lieu of clockwork. when i tried to access my backup it told me something about invalid md5 sum and backup failed. like it didn't exist. If all is still on your PC perhaps you should reformat the card then re-partition using a different source, and re-try.

What is the best program to do a full Android backup, including apps, additional files, Folders, Contacts, etc.... ??
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.
Ok, so here's the deal. I just bought a GS3 coming from a Inspire 4G and I used Titanium Backup to back up all my .apks and their data. I installed Titanium Backup onto the S3 and moved the data from the external SD to the internal memory where the Titanium Backup folder was created for the S3. But the problem is the apps aren't showing up in Titanium Backup where I can reinstall them. Even if I install the app then open Titanium Backup to see if it recognizes the backup now that the app is on the phone I still get nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

DId you change the backup folder location under the settings?
ive don't it between phones of the same type..
just copy the folder with the backups onto another sd card and it just showed up in 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?
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.
