I woke up this morning and when I went to unlock my phone, the lock screen persisted. When I rebooted, my phone started bootlooping. I figured I could just restore from my Titanium full backup from 2 weeks ago. But when I pulled my SD card out, I couldn't find a 'TitaniumBackup' folder, which makes me concerned that I accidentally pointed Titanium to back up to device storage instead of the SD. There is a 'Backup' folder on the SD card but it seems to just be backups of apps, not system data. I don't want to flash anything until I can figure out where my backups are. Does anyone have experience with Titanium Backup and knows what to do?

So during some point in the installation, half my SD card dissappears. Weird because some of the directories are in tact and some are gone. Like my Backup for Root users is gone and the Nandroid folder is gone All my MP3s gone. Yet Beyond Pod and a few others remained.
It's too late to fix it but how could this have happened?
I cant be the only one. The problem I am having is when performing a Nandroid backup....the backup never ends. I have like 3 gigs of space left on my sd card and Ive tried deleting the Nandroid folder to make it re-create the folder. Still, it will run forever if I let it. It used to be intermittent, delete nand folder and reboot and try it again usually solved it. Now it just wont work.
Anyone have a solution to this problem? I went through alot of searching and found lots of info on the restore but not much on the backup portion.
Thanks guys
Does anyone know why Titanium Backup would all of a sudden stop loading it's backups? I have them stored on an external SD card that I have used through multiple flashes without issue, then yesterday I had to reinstall Continuum 5.5. When I went to use my backups, TiBu just says "0 apps loaded". It finds the folder just fine, and allows me to select it, but won't load the backups. Can anyone help me? Is is possible something got corrupted, and if so, how do I go about isolating that to be able to get anything I can restored?
Did you hit the "problems?" Button on the first page of tibu and install busybox?
Yes, as soon as I realized I had a problem, the very first thing I did was click the great big button saying "Problems?"
I also tried moving the backups from external SD to internal SD, no dice. Next I'm going to try using older backups, but that is less than ideal since I wasn't the most dedicated in keeping them up-to-date (of course).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What i noticed that helps sometimes is this: Go to the preferences and select the Backup Folder Location --> Click Detect. This should find your backups either on internal or external. From there i reload the application. Even this sometimes does not fix the issue. If i reload and no apps are found i reboot the device. This has always repopulated my Apps and from there do the batch restore.
Best of luck
Thanks, Rizz, but that is how I normally have to do it since I keep my backups on my external SD card. It's really bizarre, I've never had ANY problem using Titanium and I have been using it since October, flashing new ROMs basically every other week! I think a file must have gotten corrupted somehow, and I can't figure out which, so I guess I am going to have to revert to a backup several months old. I used to keep it synched with my Dropbox folder so I would always have a current backup available, but I guess I got lazy this one time and didn't set it up right. Figures it would be the one time I need it, right?
After many months of using this phone I've slowly started to fill my my internal storage/internal SD/External SD. And even after flashing new roms the space is still taken up with 0 programs installed. Well I know that it's all still there, but how can I get rid of all the data that the apps have made over time? I believe with enough titanium restores I may have duplicate data on the internal and external SD, but obviously my phone is only reading from one of them.
Also, if I remove everything (excluding the backups from titanium), and then restore them with titanium backup, will they restore just fine, or does titanium rely on that data to still be there?
Just do Factory Reset and Format your phone's memory from the Storage settings... Your phone will empty up
You can titanium backup what you want then plug the phone in the PC on USB mode and copy the titanium backup folders (2 total files 1 zip and 1 folder) somewhere u can remember onto the computer then proceed with the factory reset and format the memory. After you finish the format then move the titanium backup back on the phone memory

Thanks for the replies.
I ended up starting from a newly flashed rom, then deleted all the contents of my .androidsecure folder. Then used titanium backup to restore the apps I wanted.
Yesterday, in order to try new AOKP 4.4.1 by Maclaw, i made a nandroid backup from touch recovery.
Usually after a backup i found it in internal memory/clockworkmod/backup but after a reboot to be sure the backup was ok, i didn't find it.
So a made another backup in external sd card, from nandroid too.
After that, i noticed i've lost a lot of internal storage: it's like the backup was done, but i can't find it.
By Es File Explorer i've serached it but nothing to do.I put hidden file visible, but i can't find the backup.
I deleted all the clockworkmod directory (that wa empty) but nothing to do.
Can someone help me?
Before backup i had 3.5 internal storage free, now i have 1.6 free... :'(
You could try running a nandroid backup to the external SD card. Maybe you can find your nandroid backup there.

In the ext-sd everything works, i already tried and there i can find backups in ./clockworkmod/backup
I don't know why in internal storage i can't find them, i looked for them also in root directory / but nothing to do...
I've found the solution.
In recovery, Backup and Restore tab, there's a function to delete backups.
I entered in that function and i have found my old backup, it said that they where in internal storage even i couldn't find them, but in this way i succeed in delete them.
Thanks.
