Is it possible to make a nandroid bakup to external SD?
I have more space there and would like to store them there. Now it saves them to internal SD
Thanks in advance

CWM makes the backup to external sd by default, unless you have the internal sd version made by rusty.
Flash CWM from ROM Manager and it should solve the problem. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en
v5.0.2.7 gives you a choice where it backs up to, which is nice.
How did u get v5.0.2.7. For me ROM Manager is still showing 5.0.2.0 as the latest version.

Compiled it myself.
I do share them, so it's in the dev forum if you want a look.

You need to use the right CWM version. The latest CWM (5.0.2.0) provided by ROM manager (see market), for example, uses the external SD as default.

What happens if you start CWM with the external SD taken out?
(Do you mean you cannot mount the internal via adb while in CWM?)

There have been a lot of problems with ext file systems on the sd cards and mounting in the recovery. Some claiming it to be unsupported other that it works. Only thing you can do is try to make the partition with different tools. For example mkfs.ext2, gparted, different windows tools etc. Also different sd cards if you have.
Hope it helps.

Yes, you can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1098745.html
If you need v5 you could also try to mount the internal SD manually in CWM via adb shell and the following commands:
umount /sdcard
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard
^Thanks guys! Its working
Let me try ....
May I know, where to set Ext SD card as default, inside the ClockworkMod Recovery or the Rom Manager inside set it ?
i just bought and installed rom manager from market last night and when i did backup of my current bell 2.3.4 rom, looked on ext sd, not there, thought b/u didn't worklooked on int storage, there it was? how do i change settings to ext... looked for 30min. thank-you for any help
mine saves backups to internal. but only finds backups from external, so I must move files to backup.
My clockwork goes like this
-launch backup from application in use mode, it saves backups on internal
-manually enter recovery and launch backup, it saves on external

I am using the cwm recovery 6.0.1.2 that's with the hydracore and when I do a backup it chooses the ext sd card for backup.. I don't have much space there and I want the backup to be placed in the internal storage.. How can I change this?

you can choose in cwm backup/restore menu : backup internal sd.
or make a backup in external, then copy paste the clockworkmod dir in internal sd

Ive noticed some cwm-r versions are kind of "reversed" too when it comes to backup/restore and install from locations... when you chose internal the cwm-r uses the external and the other way around. so if you have chosen to backup to internal but it put it on external anyways then try to do the backup to external to have it on the internal sd don't know if that's the case with version you use though

No.... the latest the version seems to be loading it correct.
When I choose internal.. It goes to the internal storage.
But this was not the case with earlier ones that we had with speedmod and notecore

So, I've gotten good about making backups of everything before flashing another ROM. My question is, where can I access the backups made in CWM recovery so that I can transfer them to my computer in case I need them later?
Inside the clockwork mod folder on your phone.

Personally, I gotta seriously recommend saving your backups to your EXTERNAL SD card. One of our main fixes it to wipe and start over...doing it that way you'll lose whatever is on the phone's internal SD. I went out of my way just to free up 1.6gb of external sd space just for that very reason....1.6 is a lot when you have about 14-15gigs of music and not much more than some apps...got lucky and found some old TB folders .
//Sideloadable backup and recovery would be the shiznizzle.

You're right! I finally found the clockworkmod folder. I didn't realize when I flashed one of the new ROMs that it moved my stuff to /sdcard/0 and found it in there. Moved my backups to my external SD so now I'm golden. Thanks!
I keep a copy of my backups on my PC as well. If my SD card goes bad, I can copy the backups to a new SD card and restore as required.
Always backup to external and keep on hard drive!

JB doesn't support move-to-SD. You can only use the internal as main storage

It's not about that. I just rooted and I think CWM saved backup on internal sdcard.
Can I make the phone use my external sdcard? Or delete the internal sdcard altogether?
Edit: I am afraid to change the rom because I cant find the place CWM backuped.
If you boot into CWM and choose backup and restore and then Restore you will find your backup.
Most of the time the backups are stored in SDcard/CWM/Backups

In CWM you can chose where it will store backup files. You can choice between backup on internal or external (marked as sdcard1) storage.

Is it that you have taken a nandroid backup?
because TWRP wont take any space on internal memory or sd card unless you have a nandroid backup.. Check the folder..
