That is what I figure. Just wanted to know if it would mess up the backup or anything.

I have and it doesn't cause any issues

Yes you can, white space can cause issues of course.

Yup, your SD card corrupted the files, from the sounds of it. You're SOL at this point if that's so.

If you're talking about nandroid backups then those are stored in the root of your external sd card under "clockworkmod" and then "backup". Each folder is a separate backup, you can just delete the backups that you don't need.

If you've done a factory reset before installinh new rom you will have wiped it. You need to set cwm to store on your ex sdcard

Try using a sd card analyzer or something and look for a big folder.
It might be there.

Twrp restore

So I always backup (nandroid) to my exsd, then when I try and restore my backup it always fail s? Do I need to backup to internal? Our does it work from external I'm just not doing it right? The only thing I can think of is that I rename it to the room I was using after backup. ..

I personally store nandroid backups on my external and move them to my internal when I know I will need them. I would say it depends on you're SD card, if it's a cheap one I wouldn't trust it with sensitive stuff like restoring a nandroid, also are you using the latest recovery?

Try twrp. It could be your sdcard going bad. Its definitely not a common problem though.
Is the card mounted?
You could save to internal, then copy it over.

Try on another sd card if you have one. That will tell if the sd card is faulty or not.
