Backup Error - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

When I try to do a NANDROID backup to my external sd card, I receive a message that says ''can't mount backup path.'' How do I fix this problem?
Running OUDhs CWM Touch ReqOvery v1.0.3.3

Make sure you have your latest version of the recovery and reboot and make sure your external sd card is functioning properly that's one common issue so that might be it if that is the case then format it and it should be fixed and to make sure you can copy the cwm recovery folder that was created in your internal memory to your external

Try formating your sd card as fat32 instead of exFAT.

[Q] sd card transfer

im running bootmanager on my 8gb sd card and its full can i transfer all the data i have onto my 16gb sd card? will the roms still work? and what about the apps i have backed up with titanium backup will they all be safe?
Yes. Best to MD5 before and after to make sure it copies correctly.

you think all the dada will be good?
I've copied between SD cards in the past without a problem. I just attached the phone to my Windows PC in Disk Drive mode, copied all the files to the PC, swapped SDs and swapped back. Save the 8GB card and don't wipe it until you're sure everything copied over fine.
As long as you haven't created an ext partition, you shouldn't have any problems copying from sd to sd.

And what if you did copy files over from a SD card with a ext3 partition to your PC? Can you elaborate a little more?
I've had put a blank card in phone 1st let it format it with the nessesary file structure and then over wright with the contents of old card.

From my understanding, when you partition your SD card, you essentially split your memory card's capacity by the size of the ext partition. So when you mount your sd card for the purpose of backing up your memory card, you're only backing up the disk drive portion. You'll need to use ROOT EXPLORER or a file manager app that can access your phone's sd-ext folder.
On second thought, you should just do a NANDROID and be sure to include your sd-ext partition. Then boot into recovery. Create a new sd-ext partition (same size as the previous one) and copy the NANDROID folder over to your new SD card along with the disk drive backup.
Then restore your nand.

If you switch to a touchwiz rom you can go to settings>storage, then unmount your sd and format from the phone

Twiz and miui both unmount internal sdcard and format it but not external,sht is rediculous.I cant even mount external sd in cwm to reformat it.
Find a friend with an android...older one preferably ...use theirs to format....that's what I did

you can do it with touchwiz. Settings>storage. First listing will be external (sd card) which will have the option to unmount and format. Second listed will be usb storage which is your internal memory and will also have it's own option to format. Just press unmount SD card under external then it will highlight the option to format

How do you create a NANDROID?

Newbie question lol I have cwm and I want to create NANDROID backup to stock with root.... No idea how can somebody help me?

Reboot into CWM recovery. Once there, go to backup and restore. In there you should see an option to create a backup. Select it and allow your device time to back itself up.

You need to boot into recovery and then select the option to backup and CWM will make a Nandroid backup.
Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery by holding down the Volume Up, Home, and Power buttons until your phone’s screen turns on. Use the Volume Up and Down buttons to navigate between the options and the Home button to select an option.
Suggestion
If you have an SD card mounted, I would recommend you choose the option to backup to external SD card. This saves loading up internal memory and when stored on external SD card, your Nandroid backup is protected from wipes/crashes/resets (except for purposefully wiping or formating SD card.)

Is it faster to back up on internal rather than external sdcard?
I think in CWM recovery it can only make a back up to the external SD card.

Always format any SD card in the device in which it will be used. This will always work and ensures that the SD card has the correct format for the device.

Works best for me when I have troubles with my SD card.
I always format from the pc in fat 32, the only problem is that you won't be able to write files bigger than 4GB into the sd
