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.

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.

I was wondering if making a nandroid backup will also back up the virtual SD card. I have pictures, videos, etc. If nandroid does not back up the virtual SD card is there a different method I can use to back the card up?
Thanks

All of that (music, videos, pics etc) stay on the SD. You could flash 1000 roms and kernels with 25 backups and all your SD card stuff stays in tact.
Hope that helps ya

Do you recommend making a backup in nandroid or titanium backup? And where does nandroid put the backup? On the root of the SD?

There is no SD card...
The backup path is /sdcard/clockwork mod/backup or something similar.
And for which to use: Titanium backup only backs up applications, nandroid backs up almost everything.

I would do a nandroid and a TB backup and yes your nandroid goes to your SD.
Titanium backup will be helpful for your appsand a nandroid will be helpful if you bork anything (boot loop, bad flash etc).
Good luck and pm me if you need any other help.

Is it possible to delete the backup blobs in CWM? Thanks in advance.

Sv: Can I delete CWM backup blobs?
Yeah, in the clockworkmod folder on the sdcard there is a folder called blobs, erase it and you will get alot of free memory
Cheers

You won't be able to restore to the backups that those blobs pertained to.

Ahhh! Wait. Deleting the /blobs folder would be very bad, if you wanted to restore backups! See this post by CWM's developer:

Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".
First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.
Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
No. TWRP only works with TWRP and cwm only works with cwm.

No I mean will the backups that I make with twrp still work when I restore them on twrp. Even though I deleted cwm blobs backuo

I don't think the TWRP backups should have anything to do with the blobs folder. (i could be wrong but i don't think i am) And i love your galaxy S3 rom reviews.

I lost some files on my

Thanks in advanced for any help.

No sir. CWM only restores files on internal storage.

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?
