The backups are folders on your SD card in the ClockworkMod/backups folders.

Cheers Thankyou

[Q] Wiping everything on SD Card

Hi I would like to know if it's okay to delete everything on my SD Card and then flash a new ROM. I want to do this because there are a lotttttt of useless folders that belonged to some apps which I deleted. So is there any problem if I wipe everything on my SD Card? I will of course leave my ROM zip file in it to flash it. But is it okay tho? Thanks in advance!
If you had backedup your apps with titanium backup you lose it all. And when you format your sd-card you lose that Rom you're gonna flash.

Yeah dude its ok. When you flash the new rom it'll create a new android folder for all your system junk.

Does Titanium keep the backups in it's own folder, or in each apps' folder?
So could you wipe everything but the titanium folder, then restore apps that way?

In its own folder, just like cwm keeps your backups in one folder.

[Q] rom toolbox/ rom manager

What phone do you pick so i can make a back up .. the lg revolution isnt on there?? Does the other lg phone on the list work the same??
Rom Manager doesn't work with the revo as far as I know
O ok ... well thanks for the fast reply lol good thing i didnt buy it i woulda been mad ha
So should i just use titanium back up?? Is that good?
I only use ROM Toolbox. I will defer to others who have used Titanium on that question.
I use the app manager in ROM Toolbox to backup apps.
Is the only way to make a complete system/rom backup in cwm ?? And if so were does it save so i can delete old ones and keep them fresh back ups
What exactly are you trying to do?
I want to make a backup that i can find thru a file manager so i can save it to my laptop for back up ... but i dont wana jus back up an app or two i need everything a complete system backup
Cwm will do that. My backups are saved to my sd card.

I'll also confirm that CWM is best for a full backup image. I use Titanium Backup to backup my data and apps. It works great for that purpose.

.img and md5. Use Titanium Backup to backup apps and stuff use CWM to do a full backup of everything.
I ment folder not file sorry ...
What folder are the back ups saved in . And are you able to rename them? So its not just the date and time?
I have not tried it, but you should be able to rename the folder with Root Explorer. They save in the following location:
/mnt/sdcard/ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup

I have a folder "clockworkmod" on my sd that my backups are saved to.
So when I open the "external sd" through a file explorer, "clockworkmod" is a folder with my backups in there. From there I hookup to my pc and transfer what I want saved.

Issue with TWRP Recovery and back up of Nandroid Plz Help

I am running ARHD 10.1 based on JB 4.2.2. and my recovery is TWRP. The issue I am having started when I updated the rom from 9 something to 10.1. It was recommended that I back up the sd and then restore it back on the phone after the rom flash. I deleted everything from the sd card and then transferred the files to make sure the the files don't get corrupt if it was merged. However, this method was a headache and some files were harder to transfer. After I got everything back to normal I noticed one thing. My old back up of nandroid are still in the sd card, but don't show up in recovery and my new back after the transfer of files to sd card do not show up in the TWRP back up file in the sd card, but I can see the new backup of nandroid in recovery. Why is that. I looked everywhere in the sd card and I can't find any other place it will save them. So where did my phone save them and where can i find it in the sd card?
its /data/media/clockworkmod/backup for cwm but im not sure about twrp

Before I had this issue it was /TWRP/BACKUPS/FA34MW904643/
but I only see the old back ups before the issue. The new back ups is no where to be found on the sd card, but I can see the new ones in recovery, but not the old backups.

In my phone after JB 4.2.2 , the TWRP backups saved in the folder storage/emulated/0/TWRP
If nothing ,try to check data/media/twrp or data/media/0/twrp

I found the new back ups in data/media/0/twrp, but I only see it in the file manager in twrp. The folder is shown empty on es explorer with the phone turned on and I do not see phone files when plugged into the computer, only sd. How can I view phone files on the computer.
You need ES set to root explorer to view the contents of /data

This is one of the reasons CWM is much better
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Yes, you need root permissions for access to /data/media...
In general, something not so with your phone (file system), the path /data/media/0/twrp and path /storage/emuleted/0/twrp are "symlink". My advise, after you will take backup, keep all applications and data and make factory reset with formatting of internal sd under JB 4.2.2.

When your phone is **unlocked** and S-ON, then you need to flash a recovery program e.g. ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.6 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791707 ) . Then it is possible to flash a root.zip from sd-card in recovery mode.

If you flashed the right root.zip the app called "Superuser" should be available in apps menu.

Link2sd is the problem, if you want to use the partition properly you need to use data2sd-ext instead, but now you have used link2sd its advisable to rewipe the new partition again like the first time and do not use link2sd again lol

[Q] How to Remove CWM Old Backups

I have a rooted HTC One and when I rooted it I used to have CWM Recovery as my custom recovery. When I updated my ROM to 4.4 KitKat, CWM at the time didnt support KitKat so I switched to TWRP 2.6.3.3 which did. Thing is after doing a disk analysis of my phone, I found that the CWM backups are still on my phone and seeing as they're not compatible with TWRP plus their taking over 2GB in storage capacity, how do I get rid of them ?! I frequently make a nandroid backup of my phone in case of a worst case scenario but I would like back the storage capacity these CWM backups are taking !
P.S Using the app I used it said the CWM folder was in excess of 2.6GB so I clicked on delete but it said the folder doesnt exist ?! I'm assuming when I flashed TWRP that while CWM was uninstalled or whatnot, its backups still remained. Were are the backups located so I can manually via a PC delete them ?!
Can anyone please provide some assistance, Thanks
Go with ES File Explorer to "/" = device/mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backups and delete from there.
To see those backups on your computer when the One is connected, you need to move the CWM backups from above path to "/" device/data/media/0
You might want to keep them!

I use CWM ROM Manager from the Play store to manage my backups.

or you can just plug your phone into your PC and from there you can access the storage and delete from there....easier with a mouse i think.

Thing is I downloaded it and CWM folder was empty, I then downloaded a root file explorer, I located it in the root section of the phone (i.e not the SD card) and it was over 2GB in size, I deleted it but the extra storage capacity was added to the phone stats

My apologies ! Before deleting the folder my phone had 17.01 GB (32GB Model) of free storage, after deleting the folder it was still the same. I even rebooted the phone so the phone stats could be refreshed but it was still the same
Weird. I did the same thing as you when installing ARHD 51.0 and I don't have that folder with anything in it. Prolly cuz I wasn't making backups of that in specific though. I never found something I couldn't delete...

use a root-enabled file explorer (if you want ES, but root enabled), and go to /data/media/clockworkmod
not /data/media/0 or /sdcard, etc. just /data/media/
