I just noticed that my nandroid backups made from CM recovery (v6.0.4.7) end up in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup...
This is eating up my /data partition and finally the backup stops with an error. After booting, I see the partition is full and I get a lot of error messages. I can recover from that by deleting the partial backup files with ES Filemanager in root mode from /data/media/clockworkmod/backup.
In the recovery menu I see /sdcard as the destination. Looking with ES Filemanager at /sdcard, I find the correct location for the backup files in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/... So it seems to me that there is no problem with /sdcard. At least not visible by ES Filemanager.
What happened here? Wrong link? Bug in CM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7 or in the last tenderloin nightly I have installed?
This is an HP Touchpad with 10.2-20140412-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin. I usually do weekly backups before I install a new nightly. So, with 10.2-20140405-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin the backup still worked fine. Unfortunately I deleted that older version, so I can't go back and check.
I am not sure where the problem is. I can do online nandroid backup and point my backup to the right location. But with CM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7 I can't change the backup destination.
Any pointer is much appreciated.

I am having trouble with ROM Manager. I have been making backups before and after making any changes, but I can't find my backups anywhere. They don't show up in the app or by using CW Recovery. I can't find them using Root Explorer either. I have looked in SD and SD-Ext in the Clockworkmod/backup folder. I have a few older backups, but they won't restore. I get an MD5 mismatch error. Has anyone else seen this?
Just realized that when the backup first starts it says
Couldn't open directory.
No files found.
then it proceeds to cat like it's performing a backup.
Never mind, needed to check "external storage"
I created backup for my original 2.3.4 ROM in the ClockworkMod Recovery. After installed CM 7.1. The original ROM backup doesn't work in the recovery backup and restore menu's. I Started the phone, and the phone is restart all time.
What's the problem?
I need Original ROM.
Only smartflash?
Copy the attached file to your sd-card, install it from CWM, and then restore your backup.
I created some backups in the CWM Recovery --> Restore Backup --> Backup.
The Backups doesnt works.
ive had this happen to me too and figured out that, at least in my case the emmc and sd card got swapped, making it impossible for CWM to find the backup. also, there was an issue regarding a touch recovery version having problems with our phones.

Did you try TrymHansen's post already?
Can you post a copy of /cache/recovery/last_log

TrymHansen's solution should work. CM7 uses ext4 and stock uses ext3.

Same here I made a backup with 5.2.0.8, then flashed new BB, then MD5SUM mismatch when restoring...
Plus some strange behavior of the phone, I even thought it was bricked, impossible to reboot in smartflash mode, and finally rebooted alone in recovery.
Had to made a fresh reinstall. Grrrr....
Can anyone tell me what, if anything, I should do about this error which appears after restoring a Nandroid backup? The phone seems to be working ok so far. I've done Nandroid backup and restore several times without errors before but obviously something has changed.
Error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure!
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
I cannot see any file called "recovery log" in the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder. There is a file called "recovery-update.zip".
I tried uninstalling/re-installing ROM Manager and then making and restoring a new nandroid backup but the result was the same. The backups are to the internal sd card.
I'd be grateful for any advice. I tried trawling around the forums for some hours as this seems to be a widely discussed issue but cannot find any clear explaination of the cause or fix.

do you use an external sd?
check if there is a clockworkmod folder in that.
Yes, there is a Clockworkmod folder on my ext/sd card. I wanted to do Nandroid backups there but the option to Use External Storage is greyed out on the settings page.
Right now, the only Nandroid backup I have in on the int/sd card

which settings page ?
in CWM you need to go to backup & restore and choose backup (this will backup to external SD).. there is another option to select backup to internal SD
I'm using ROM Manager (Premium) and under the settings there's an option to use external sd card but it's greyed out.

Use CWM directly to make backups to your desired storage
Can you tell me where to get CWM? I can only see ROM Manager on the Google Play site. I understand that RM is really just a front end for CWM but I'd have assumed the functinality would be the same.
Thanks again for the reply
if you are having hydracore the cwm will be already there. It's a recovery. you need to boot into recovery mode.

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'm running CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 and it works fine. Only problem I have is I'm not sure to what location my Nandroids are saving? It should be sdcard, but my 'clockworkmod' folder in sdcard only has a .recovery_version file. Where are my backups being saved? Concerned about storage issues, and I'd like to delete my old backups. Thanks.
In /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
