TWRP backup fails - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed the latest TWRP for my T713 running stock Samsung Nougat. I tried to back up everything but got a bunch of error messages: could not find /data and unable to find crypto footer, failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument), unable to recreate /data/media folder. After updating partition details it said [I]unable to mount storage and failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument) [/I]. There were a couple others too.
Then the backup started and appeared to be backing up everything. When it finished it said, backup failed but I have a TWRP backup folder on my SD card with 3 large files totaling about 3GB. I haven't had a problem with TWRP backups on other devices. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Update: didn't realize I had to wipe and format the data partition (which of course deleted all my info.) Did that and installed LineageOS 15.1.

[Q] TWRP and CWM mounting problems, with '/cache' and '/data'

By accident I deleted all OS data, so I'm only able to see the bootloader. I have CWM and TWRP recovery images to flash. Now I have the TWRP and when loading the recovery mode it says:
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/sd .. (can't see more)
E:UnMount: Unable to find partition for path '/.. (can't see more)
Updating partitioon details...
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:TWFunc::Copy_Log - Can't open destination lo.. (can´t see more)
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
And I also have the problems when trying to mount '/data', so I can't install any ROM. And actually I don't know what to do, is there another way to do that?
Could it be that the partition of the data is not in the right format?
Please help

E: Unable to mount ...

Hello, anyone could help me?
I was on cm 12.1 and via twrp I wiped everything, flashed cm 11 and gapps everything went without errors but it didn't boot up properly.
I restarted and I'm getting those errors in twrp:
E: unable to mount '/cache'
E: unable to mount '/data
E: unable to mount storage
Is there any solution?
Somehow I managed it to work...

TF701T partitions appear corrupted...HELP?

I stopped using my ASUS tablet a couple of years ago when internal memory started giving me trouble, but recently I started messing around with it again to see if I could get it working again. It appears that all partitions have no free space so that i cannot install a custom rom, fix anything, or really do anything. If I go to fastboot and try to force install a new recovery or new rom or anything it looks like it works but it really doesn't. if I try to boot, I just go in a boot loop.
I got twrp to boot(can't get it to install) and it tells me when I try to fix the partitions that they have 0 space?
Anyone have a tool or know the steps to delete and recreate ALL the partitions for the TF701t(K00C)? Any help would be appreciated.
I've tried twrp fix partitions, I've tried it's resizing as well. I've tried to install a stock rom, hoping it would rewrite them. nothing works.
Worse case is it possible to convince the tablet to just use an SD card as the internal storage and not use the emmc at all?

twrp cannot access/read data partition because it's encrypted. while in TWRP, you have to format the data partition to remove encryption and then you be able to access data. be sure to backup your data/internal storage before formatting, otherwise you'll lose what's stored there it's mentioned in most (if not all) TWRP threads related to Samsung devices.
thanks for the info I actually googled and found the answer however ,I do have another question the no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip is just for whatever rom you have installed to remove the encryption ?In otherwords if i just want to do a clean install from TWRP and install a custom rom I dont need no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip ?
