Is there any other option beside Titanium Backup
Yes there is a better option. It's called my backup root. It is in the play store. There is also a pro version, you don't need it unless you want it

I more thing I need to know although it's Out Of Topic but still related: can I delete/it is safe to delete directories at internal SD specially directory that start with "." (dot) ?
"App Backup and Restore" also free in the market if all u want r ur apks.
Edit: I meant play store.

Your welcome. All the apk files are stored in a folder called reware so after you make a backup you technically don't need the app to install your back up. If you paid for the app you can share it with others like flight track or whatever.
To answer your questions about the directory, as long as it is on the root of your sd card, you should be good to delete it, stay away from the system folder and data folders. If you have any questions ask away

So I made a backup of my Aokp rom with a long times worth of tweaks and settings, with online nandroid. I flashed another rom and hated it, so I went to go restore my backup and it was nowhere to be found in CWM. Does anyone have any idea where it went? I couldn't find it in the backup folder and onandroid didn't make a folder in my SD

check the blobs folder
Don't seem to have one. I ran a search in my file manager and it didn't find anything. Would it be a sub folder in one of the other ones on the root of the SD?

i stopped using cwm a while bac,k use twrp now much better imho. it should be in the internal sd card under cwm-backup-blobs.
Can you post the log file at /data/local/tmp/onandroid.log
Did you save the backup to the internal SD and accidentally wipe it while flashing the new ROM you didn't "care" for? Hate is such a strong word especially here..it comes down to user preference..no ROM.is a bad ROM really..its just what you want to get out of it.
One more reason for me to not use the online nandroids. Never liked the sound of if when it came out. Too many things can go wrong.

Did a backup with CWM but it will not work. MD5 mismatch and no clue what to do. Backup to internal does not work. Everytime I wipe data and cashe it creates a "0" folder and moves everything back. Please help....
Where can I find the original rom so I can start all over again?

Original as you mean stock? CWM isn't that good it's outdated to me. Go to the play store and download "Goo Manager" open it click your menu button and click "OpenRecovery Script" then follow the basic instructions. Then try your backup and report back here and post the results please.

I'm not sure if that will help as the backups for twrp and cwm are different.
OP you may have to start fresh if you want to install stock build on your phone, if that's what you backed up.

That wont work unfortunately, TWRP and CWM store backups in different formats
@OP, you can go to Advanced > Disable MD5 checking (or disable verification) something like that and try to flash it. However I would recommend making a backup of your current setup because your old backup might just be corrupted

Haha ok just clarifying, because from what you said it seemed like "restore your CWM backup through TWRP"
But yeah, for this device I would recommend using TWRP, CWM is good for most devices but not this one....TWRP is where its at

Don't do that! Did the same mistake! Let me guess, you tried flashing a 10.1 ROM? Well here is how to fix it. First, flash any ROM you have on your SD card. (Not the 10.1 again) 2. Use a file manager. I prefer ES File explorer. 3. Move all files except "android" up to your folder where 0 is. That includes your clockwork mod folder in side 0. By doing this, you can restore it. Hope that helps!

Or jb cause I have the v8 jb downloaded I'm sry for all the question I just wanna be 100% before I do this
I'll try to answer a few of them which i can

*it'll still be unlocked
*check android version in settings - about 4.0.4 = ics 4.1.x/4.2.x=jb

Performing a factory reset formats everything but the /data/media/ directory, which contains your internal storage.

If you're worried about losing any if your important content, including your nandroid backups, I recommend either transferring your content to a flash drive or to your pc that way you'll always have it and know where to look for it in case anything were to go wrong on your phone. You can also upload your content to a cloud but that can take a bit more time. If this helped please hit thanks as it really does help my status here on XDA.

No. Nandroids are recovery dependant. You would need to revert back to TWRP in oder to restore that backup and vice versa if a backup was made in CWM. Install GooManager from the Play Store, hit menu, then select "Install Openscriptrecovery" to flash the latest TWRP.

You can either delete them from a file explorer from storage/extSdCard or just pop your SD card into a micro SD adapter if you have one and delete files from your computer

You can use CWM or TWRP. What he's saying is you cannot recover a TWRP backup through CWM or vice versa.
So if you plan to use CWM, make a backup with CWM so you can recover in case something goes wrong. Your TWRP backup will not work with CWM.
Wicked is a great rom, it's what I use everyday.

The root folder efs? I believe it is different from Samsung. Searching for mk9efs from system root led me here - /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/ . Searching for efs from the system root doesn't supply much, the location I just posted and a few other folders like efs-bridge. Now I may be wrong on this, @engine95 knows more than I, but I am under the impression that our efs are on 3 separate partitions and may not be accessible from a root file explorer. I don't think we have a root efs "folder". Again, I am NOT 100% on this and could be completely wrong.......

I'm not quite sure what he's asking.
The EFS backup with TWRP creates an "EFS folder with 3 files in it.
And if I remember right... @HPTesla is right. EFS is in 3 partitions. One of them is actually empty, but is still needed.
You can see the mk9efs files in the folder but that's it. Im guessing FreeGee and TWRP are basically just taking a picture of the partitions.
So to the OP, are you trying to make sure the files are there? Or are you trying to access the files in there?

? You should be able to do it from within TWRP. It depends on the version of TWRP you are using, 2.5.0.0 has been the most stable for this phone in my experience. It's an option in my backup and restore that I can check/uncheck. However, TWRP 2.6.3.0+ is needed to flash almost all 4.4 based roms and the options are different.

If you are still using the same TWRP version you used to make the backup but switched to an AOSP based rom it appears as if the backup disappeared. The backup is located in /data/media/TWRP but TWRP will look in /data/media/0/TWRP. You can copy the old backup to the 0/TWRP folder and reboot recovery.
If you are using a different version of TWRP than the one you used to make the backup, your backup may also not show up. You should use the version you used to make the back up to restore it back. I hope this helps.
