I cant be the only one. The problem I am having is when performing a Nandroid backup....the backup never ends. I have like 3 gigs of space left on my sd card and Ive tried deleting the Nandroid folder to make it re-create the folder. Still, it will run forever if I let it. It used to be intermittent, delete nand folder and reboot and try it again usually solved it. Now it just wont work.
Anyone have a solution to this problem? I went through alot of searching and found lots of info on the restore but not much on the backup portion.
Thanks guys

Hey guys I have Spite backup pre-installed on my new Fuze, and I've been using it to make backups when I do something, well, I tried to do a restore and all of a sudden none of my apps that are installed that were working, work.
They all say that XXX cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file. Now I cant even run the backup .exe again because it tells me that too!
What a PITA! I used this backup specifically to not have to worry about stuff getting screwed up and that's what screwed it all up!
I'm going to do a 'sigh' hard reset and try again and see what happens, I have 2 other backups I can try to but has anyone heard of this or know why it happens? I need backups to be reliable since there are corporate phones and will be used extensively and with sensitive data.
Did you install your programs to a storage card and only back up your phone memory?
No I dont even have a memory card yet I have a 8gb coming in tommorow, I did a hard reset and tried it again and it failed, then I tried another backup I had that was older and it worked, so something must have been wrong with just that backup, strange and worrysome.
How exactly do you install stuff on your card if you have a cab file? I dont recall it ever asking where it should install in .cab form.
I've been running Apps2sd for quite a while, and have made a lot of nandroid +ext backups while I was using it. I've decided that I actually don't need apps2sd, so I repartitioned my SD card. What will happen if I try to restore one of my nand +ext backups now that I don't have that ext partition on my sd card???
good question... probably an error code.
bump...anyone?
I'm in the process of re-flashing and re-configuring my phone now so I can't try it yet
Just try it and find out. It shouldn't hurt anything.

I'm going to once I finish configuring and make a nand backup of what I'm running now. Just wasn't sure if anyone had experienced this and knew what would happen.
Looks like it restores just fine, but locks up at boot screen...
Oh well, guess I can't use any of my nand backups
Have u tried deleting the ext2.tar file in your nandroid backups? Try that and see if it boots all the way.
All I can think of is, download titanium backup or something, backup all your apps using it. and then try doing a nand restore with the .tar file removed. See if that fixes the boot problem.
Edit: Save the .tar file because you can always open it with a program like 7-zip and pull out the "app" and "app-private" folders, then push them onto your phone with adb
Does anyone know why Titanium Backup would all of a sudden stop loading it's backups? I have them stored on an external SD card that I have used through multiple flashes without issue, then yesterday I had to reinstall Continuum 5.5. When I went to use my backups, TiBu just says "0 apps loaded". It finds the folder just fine, and allows me to select it, but won't load the backups. Can anyone help me? Is is possible something got corrupted, and if so, how do I go about isolating that to be able to get anything I can restored?
Did you hit the "problems?" Button on the first page of tibu and install busybox?
Yes, as soon as I realized I had a problem, the very first thing I did was click the great big button saying "Problems?"
I also tried moving the backups from external SD to internal SD, no dice. Next I'm going to try using older backups, but that is less than ideal since I wasn't the most dedicated in keeping them up-to-date (of course).

What i noticed that helps sometimes is this: Go to the preferences and select the Backup Folder Location --> Click Detect. This should find your backups either on internal or external. From there i reload the application. Even this sometimes does not fix the issue. If i reload and no apps are found i reboot the device. This has always repopulated my Apps and from there do the batch restore.
Best of luck
Thanks, Rizz, but that is how I normally have to do it since I keep my backups on my external SD card. It's really bizarre, I've never had ANY problem using Titanium and I have been using it since October, flashing new ROMs basically every other week! I think a file must have gotten corrupted somehow, and I can't figure out which, so I guess I am going to have to revert to a backup several months old. I used to keep it synched with my Dropbox folder so I would always have a current backup available, but I guess I got lazy this one time and didn't set it up right. Figures it would be the one time I need it, right?
Yesterday, in order to try new AOKP 4.4.1 by Maclaw, i made a nandroid backup from touch recovery.
Usually after a backup i found it in internal memory/clockworkmod/backup but after a reboot to be sure the backup was ok, i didn't find it.
So a made another backup in external sd card, from nandroid too.
After that, i noticed i've lost a lot of internal storage: it's like the backup was done, but i can't find it.
By Es File Explorer i've serached it but nothing to do.I put hidden file visible, but i can't find the backup.
I deleted all the clockworkmod directory (that wa empty) but nothing to do.
Can someone help me?
Before backup i had 3.5 internal storage free, now i have 1.6 free... :'(
You could try running a nandroid backup to the external SD card. Maybe you can find your nandroid backup there.

In the ext-sd everything works, i already tried and there i can find backups in ./clockworkmod/backup
I don't know why in internal storage i can't find them, i looked for them also in root directory / but nothing to do...
I've found the solution.
In recovery, Backup and Restore tab, there's a function to delete backups.
I entered in that function and i have found my old backup, it said that they where in internal storage even i couldn't find them, but in this way i succeed in delete them.
Thanks.
I woke up this morning and when I went to unlock my phone, the lock screen persisted. When I rebooted, my phone started bootlooping. I figured I could just restore from my Titanium full backup from 2 weeks ago. But when I pulled my SD card out, I couldn't find a 'TitaniumBackup' folder, which makes me concerned that I accidentally pointed Titanium to back up to device storage instead of the SD. There is a 'Backup' folder on the SD card but it seems to just be backups of apps, not system data. I don't want to flash anything until I can figure out where my backups are. Does anyone have experience with Titanium Backup and knows what to do?
