I did a nandroid backup.
Copied it to pc.
Did a full wipe of phone.
Messed about with new rom but didn't like it.
Hooked phone to pc and copied the nandroid to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup (manually creating the backup folder)
Booted into recovery - no restore available.
I did a backup from recovery as a test.
Booted up, hooked phone to pc and cannot see the newest backup location from internal storage.
Back into recovery and I can see the test backup but not my actual backup.
I've done nandroid backup and restores dozens of times and have never come across this.
What am I doing wrong?
did you put the backup in the same file that the test backup is in. i dont think you can manually make a backup folder as the recovery makes it when you make a backup. i could be wrong because i always leave my backups on my phone
Did you just copy the files, or did you put the files into it's own folder within the backup folder?

I wondered if manually creating the backup folder was the issue so I deleted it and then created a backup in recovery. The issue is that the backups creating inr ecovery are not visible on the pc when I look.

I copied the file so it was placed like so:
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2013-05-29.15.31.41
I can see the backup files using Root Explorer from the ROM I was testing.
They're in /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup which should be the same as sdcard/clockworkmod/backup on the pc, right?
I'll try copying the backup to sdcard/Download on pc then move it to the mnt/shell etc folder in root explorer.
ok, copying to download folder from pc to phone then copying from download folder to the backup location on phone worked.
no idea why sdcard/clockworkmod/backup is not recognised in CWM recovery anymore.
I did update to the 6.0.3.1 version recently so maybe that's why.

I need your help. Whilst going through my nandroid backup folder on the computer, i accidentally deleted both internal folders. Now i can't do any backups because when i try to do a nand restore it shows me the 4 files within the folder; instead of actually restoring them.
Any ideas???
I'm trying to backup my current ROM
I tried this http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/ and it looks like it went through, but when I double checked and went back into Manage and Restore Backups there was nothing there. Then I went through Recovery into the advanced option and I got a message saying that there were no files there either. So It seems like if I follow the steps I don't get a backup file made. For the record I have no problems with Titanium Backup.
Have you tried do a backup directly through CWM, not the ROM Manager?
Via file explorer you should find your backup on your internal sd in clockworkmod/backup/

I did it directly and that seemed to work. After I did it that way there was a file in that backup folder.
I can't seem to restore my backup back to my phone...
My backup files are inside both the internal and the external SD cards. In both cards there's a folder named clockworkmod, which has a folder named backup inside, which has a folder named with the timestamp (Apr-19-Fri.19.44 for me). In the timestamp folder there are the backup files.
But, it says that no backup files are found when I tried to recover using ROM Manager, the S3 Mini Toolkit, and from the TWRP recovery.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

You are obviously using CWM to make that backup. TWRP will never restore it. Just re-flash CWM and you are good to go
I made it with the toolkit... So I'll just flash the CWM 6.x.x.x recovery to my phone and restore from my phone's recovery mode?
I made a twrp backup and was able to drag and drop it to my PC for later use. Now the big question is...where do I move this backup to? I've simply moved it back into the backups folder located in my twrp folder in my internal storage. If I go to restore, I can see the backup folder along with another backup I named Stock. Will this work if I just restore the backup from here? It seems too simple. I have read about pushing the file using adb to internal storage and then installing it as a zip file. Problem is the backup is not a zip file. Any help will do. Thanks.
Hey guys!
I have made a backup of my system, then I copied it to my PC, because i wanted to save space on the phone. Now i want to restore it so i put all the directory to my phone into TWRP directory. Now the recovery can't see the backed up copy of a system. Its for sure at my phone at /TWRP/0000000000000000/stock-2015-02-03--01-41-33 cm_maserati-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU8
How can i fix it and restore backed up system?
Should be /TWRP/BACKUPS/0000000000000000
