After installing twrp can I delete cwm files or will that mess things up. Thanks in advance.

Trying to free up some space on my external card and realizing I have no idea what folder the backups are stored in, running clockworkmod based recover v5.5.0.4
never mind, found it, but for some reason every time i back it up, the date is all wrong, just backed up and it is 1970-01-04.06.58.12?
In had this same question, where did you find it?

Check clockwork folder and inside there should be a folder that says backup

Backups on this phone will always have the incorrect date. The recoveries do do not have access to the time.

That's weird, I made a backup with CWM before switching to TWRP and there's nothing in that folder.
Another question, where are the backups stored from TWRP? I can see them while in recovery, but not in any file explorer.

Alright so I'm on JB, rooted, Kt kernel and I wanted to factory reset my phone to see if battery life will improve because I've heard it works for some.
My question is, is it better to backup through Kies, reset, and restore from kies backup or will I risk bringing back theb (maybe) source of problems by doing it that way?
Or suck it up and restore from a TWRP or CWM backup. The only reason I prefer the Kies backup is because I hardly have enough memory left on my SD card to hold a Nandroid backup.
Thoughts?

I always hate dealing with kies but i get the issue of memory. That's why i like extra sd card space makes it easier for backups. I prefer cwm but its Ur call

Will the CWM backup include all the pics, texts, etc.?

Do a nandroid on external SD that's where I do mine. Also use titanium you can back it up to dropbox , box or Google.

Nandroid on external sd. As far as the pictures go. I have mine default save to the sd. I normally do not format the external sd during restores, backups or rom swaps. So the pictures always remain.
However, one time I left the the sd card installed when I was returning to stock via oden. It wiped both internal and external. So now when oden is involved I pull the external. Just to be sure.

So now to my understanding in TWRP the option to create image.zip is just creating a backup that I can flash right through Odin like a rom as opposed to the option to create a backup?
What can I do with that option to create a backup? Is that also an odin flashable zip?

Usually Odin doesn't flash zips but it creates a flash able zip through cwm

Yea I meant CWM. Thats the recovery I had installed that allowed me to create the image.zip
So basically that just creates the exact state that my phone is in and allows me to flash it via cwm to get right back to that state.

Yes you can

So you didn't format everything if your sd card still good. Also in yourcase you should of probably have had a nandroids backup on the sd card.

If you formatted everything including the SD card that had your nandroid like I did a while ago, you can follow this guide:

goodluck
Put a rom on your sd card from your PC... put sd card back in your phone. Boot into recovery and flash.

Hi so I deleted the blob folder a while back and I was wondering if backups will still work with cwm. Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
You can make more backups, but you can't restore any old backups that might still be showing up in CWM.

I tried to run a backup using CWM recover 6.0.3.1 and I keep getting an error "cannot find mount point." it will backup to the internal storage but will not backup into the sd card. I have tried almost everything. Backing up to internal and moving it to sd, that takes to long. I have also tried to un mount/mount the card, move backup path, fix permission, re flash CWM. Please help! Thanks
