Apparently TWRP saves its backups in a different format. it's a collection of files instead of one. I don't know how to extract data from these backups using TBP. Can someone link me to a guide or give advice? Thanks friends.
Go into the menu with titanium backup and will be able to extract app data (special backup / restore). Don't think you have an option for any files but it's easier then restoring a nandroid.

I made a backup when i first decided to flash a ROM on my phone, but i didn't know about apps like titanium backup at that time, where i can just backup an app or game and also backup the data along with it.
is there a way to get into any of the image files from the nandroid backup and retrieve data like game saves/data and stuff?
You could always backup your current ROM, restore the old ROM, install titanium, restore your current ROM and use titanium to get back the old stuff.

Do a search for a tool like unyaffs. You can use it to extract the data partition from your nandroid backup. Then you can grab the data from whatever apps you are trying to restore individually and copy the files back to your phone.
Hi,
I backed up everything in my phone using Xperia's (ICS only) "Backup & Restore" app. I zipped the backup files and uploaded them to dropbox. I then did a factory reset, and redownloaded the uploaded file, unzipped it, and placed it in the .semc-fullbackup directory, but the app cannot find it, instead deleting the directory with my backup.
How can I restore this backup? It seems like a pointless backup app if it can't take a backup from somewhere else. Is there some way to fool the app into taking my backup?
Thanks!
Wish if I could help
But I use titanium back up

Wrong forum
For the most part I normally use appextractor to restore apps after flashing a new rom but since i paid for TiBU i figured I'd give it a try. When i select Extract from NANDROID backup the application tells me it cannot find any CWM or TWRP backups. The only location specific options i could find referred to Titanium files, not nandroid ones, so i can't tell it where to look for images.
Is this an issue with the Ion's external SD mount point? I have tried this with the stock 3.7 ROM and with the recent XZXv2, no dice.
In CWM select backup & resore/advanced/backup format ( or something like that as i can't remeber exactly) and choose .tar (Default) then try backup again

is there a reference somewhere for why this has to be done for tibu but appextractor just uses folder backups? if i need something from an older image i would have to restore the image, make a tar backup then use the nandroid extractor. seems like an oversight on titanium's part.
I've looked around for at least 3hrs for that without getting answers so please if this has been discussed thoroughly in another thread point me to it.
I have made several nandroid backups using cwm and so far I had no problems backing up and restoring. Now I need a specific file from a backup I have on my pc. I have the complete sdcard on the pc with the /clockworkmod/backup and /blobs folders and the other files. On the new version of my phone the backups are on /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/
I tried to to copy the backup folder (2013-01-...) From my pc to the new back up location and restoring. Obviously that didnt work that's when I realized they were .dup files. So I tried to paste the blobs folder as well and restore but same thing ... Error while restoring.
Now since the backup was done using a different path than this one would that cause the problem? Is there a specific procedure to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Are there other files other than the backup and blobs folders implicated in this type of backup?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

I backed up all my partitions including EFS using Partitions Backup & Restore but I can't seem to restore them in TWRP or ODIN. The backups are in tar.gz format and I tried using the tar.gz as well as the .tar inside it.
Is there any way to make a TWRP or preferably ODIN flashable backup from the backup files?
