Nandroid issues Please help

Hey guys. I have done numerous nandroid backups in the past with problem but now I seem to be having issues doing backups.
Im running clockwork 2.5.0.1. I got to a backup and it sits there for a time and then spits out:
"No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Backup Complete!"
Any ideas wtf is going on?

I think it all refers to Apps on your SD card. If you don't have any installed there, there obviously won't be anything to backup, & i believe the sd card has to have an ext partition, so as long as you don't have apps on your card, looks normal to me.
If i'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me.

I concur. If you don't have apps2sd going you won't have any ext partition on your SD card to worry about.

[Q] No /sdcard/.android

When I do a backup (using ClockworkMod v2.5.0.9) I get this msg
Backing up boot...
Backing up recovery...
Backing up system...
Backing up data...
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext. Generating md5 sum...
Backup complete
I'm looking for input on what this means, and if it has correctly backed up my files.
Thanks in advance.

It use to do it to me when I didn't have an ext parition on my SD card. All it means is that there is no like "data" in those partitions and is just skipping the backup since there is nothing there. Nothing to worry about

Can't mount /data through recovery

Title says it all, I've on twrp recovery right now. I tried cwm before since i was having that problem. First time with Samsung any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: I believe one the phone is encrypted, the data can't be mounted to security purposes.

Same problem
I have the same problem. My device's (Samsung GS III VZW) internal storage is encrypted as well. Does this seem like this could be what's causing this?
I want to make sure that my backups are good that I'm taking with nandroid in CWM 6.0.1.2. If I choose straight up Backup & Restore -> Backup from the menu then I get an error:
Can't mount backup path.
If I choose Backup & Restore -> Backup to external sdcard, then it chugs along for about 30 seconds, then gives this error:
Backing up data...
Can't mount /data!
However, my backups that are put on the External SD Card (extsdcard/clockworkmod/backup/<datedfolder>) only consist of 3 files, boot.img (10mb), recovery.img (10mb) and system.ext4.dup (317kb). This doesn't seem right..
Any thoughts? Does this seem like it could be caused by the device being encrypted ?
Thanks! I'm a real noob and really appreciate the help!

Ya I say definitely stay away from encryption if your gonna flash roms. I've been here before backup what you need and wipe data in recovery. If it doesn't work flash the stock jb rom thatll wipe it.(located here if needed http://www.mediafire.com/?c3cj6udkai1ljhk ). As far as the backups go I believe that's actually the right size. Cwm uses a weird format for its backups now. Granted if data can't be mounted I think those backups are worthless now anyway

Nandroid backup & Ext SD

I have a question if someone would be so kind to help me with.
Whenever I do a nandroid backup to my external SD Card I get the following message:
No /sdcard/ .android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache ...
Backup of cache completed.
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Generating md5 sum ...
Backup complete!
When I check the external sd card, the back is there. Its probably a dumb question as my backup is working, but I'm interested to know why it says what its saying, and maybe its a problem even though its still backing up?
Cheers.

You mean "no /sdcard/ .android_secure found." ??
If yes then that's a file sometimes you'll have it.. Not too important.
If you mean "No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext"
Simply that's not your external sdcard.. That's like a external memory attached using USB and your phone isn't connected to a memory card/hard disk/ etc.. So it will obviously say its not found ..
Hope that what you're looking for..

You can try and backup your SD Card on your PC and then format the card, and copy back the data.
