titanium backup - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Is anyone else having problems backing up titanium backup to micro sd card. I have 14gb on it and everytime when I go to do a backup and it starts but instantly says backup interrupted insufficient space. Usually pretty good on these things but this has me stumped. It will do a backup to the internal sd card 0 but not the extSdCard

Yes that also happens for me

I sent titanium app makers a request so maybe they can let us know how to fix it, did you notice it says card not writable...

That is a security feature in Android 4.4.2. Even if rooted, you can't completely write to the SD card without modifications to the kernel.
You can Google it for more info.

Ok after reading and reading some more I got it. Here is steps to fix it and after you enter this and save it restart then go in titanium, preferences, backup location, choose mnt/extSdCard and save.. You should be gtg Here you go.
1. Using a root-enabled file manager like root explorer, navigate to /system/etc/permissions
2. Edit platform.xml file and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add this group definition: <group gid="media_rw" /> enter before permissions
4. Save changes.
5. Restart.
6.go in titanium backup , backup location, choose mnt/extSdCard and it should work

Interesting. Thanks for the additional info! Didn't realize it was that simple in this device. Some other devices (like my HTC One M8) it took that PLUS kernel mods.

Titanium Backup problem.

Can somebody please help me with the titanium backup?
When I start titanium backup it straight away pops up "searching application data" which never ends.
It shows storage my SD card which was not I backed up all my files to my extSD card all the time.
I can't stop and change it is there any other way to change the storage place? Cos it won't stop till I change the storage i believe.
Please Help it is really annoying me now.

Yes, first delete the the current Titanium Backup folder using a file explorer wherever it is located. Then create a folder in either one of the storage space and name it "TitaniumBackup". Then open Titanium app, go to Preference and open Backup Folder location. Search the whole device until you see the folder you created. Select it and redo a backup.

[Q] Insufficient Free Storage Space

While trying to update my titanium Backup, I receive this message.
"Batch Backup interrupted: Insufficient free storage space"
I am backing up to my external SD card, and have over 23GB of free space. Titanium Backup has been working fine since I updated to 4.2.2 and just today for the first time generated this error.
Has anyone seen this before. I will try deleting the backup folder and generating a complete backup. I will off load my TI backup to my desktop before deleting the folder on the ext SD card.
The problem was that somehow the ext SD card got mounted as R/O, so just changed to R/W and all is fine.
Not sure what app did that, but will look about.

I am not certain on the Note 8 as I am a Droid person. However, I am rooted and used my file manager to change from R/O to RW. Not sure how to do this if you are not rooted.
Here's the fix!
Follow these steps to fix...
1.) Open Preferences and choose backup folder location
2.) Select Detect and choose whole device
3.) Choose the option /storage/emulated/legacy
4.) Select Use the current folder

Just an FYI, same thing happened to me today. It ended up being a permissions problem for me too. I used Root Explorer to add write back to my backup directory and all is fine now.

I had to reboot for this to fix the issue, but after that everything worked great. Thanks.
HI guys,
Can anyone help me? I'm having above same issue but not with ext sd card. Mines my internal storage. I have 10gb space. Tried the above but it needs me to create a folder.
Cheers guys.

I use TiBu to store to uSD myself. Root Explorer navigates to uSD click the + key to create a folder and name it whatever you wish. Do the preference deal then use the back key to navigate to that folder you created (wherever it may be). Select if then the setting will be saved when you reboot TiBu.
The above fix did not work for me. I have TiB pro installed on my rooted stock Samsung D710. TiB says that my 32GB external card is not writable. According to ES file explorer, it is. How do I fix this conflict? The last backup that I know of is over a week old.

This method didn't help me either. I had to uninstall the app and then just install the new one from market.
I have the same issue. Just started with the latest version. I tried changing the bu folder and even uninstalling and reinstalling. Both to no avail.

Hi to all I have encountered the same issue with insufficient storage space in my Nexus 7 2012 3g after the last update to v.6.1.5.1. I have tried the preferences fix and nothing happened, I have also created a new folder and used it as a new backup location and still no fix. I have even uninstalled the app and the pro key, rebooted and re-installed both and still the issue persists.I have checked the permissions on the folders used thru root explorer and total commander and they were both read and write ticked...
I also fixed permissions of the app thru ROM toolbox pro, I cleared thru app management in settings the cache of the app....
I have even ensured that the Superuser setting is set to apps and adb. Any ideas on how to proceed??? I start to feel a bit stupid (besides irritated!)
Note that after the last update the app is working great in my GNex but not in my N7 2012 3g so what is the issue??
I thank you in advance for any reply...
and yes I know that this sub forum is for another device but I am getting desperate...

1. In TitaniumBackup press menu, then press preferences under the general section.
2. Next, under backup protection settings, press backup folder location.
3. When the new menu appears, press back to get to a file browser. It should say something like /storage/emulated/0 for the path.
4. Press back again and then select legacy, so the path is now /storage/emulated/legacy
5. Then scroll to your TitaniumBackup folder and select it.
6. Then press use the current folder, and press yes when the popup appears.
Then try doing your normal backup procedure.

What I got to work was basically following the steps above, but I created a new folder for my backups (/storage/emulated/legacy/TiBak) and it fixed my issue.
I found out the reason for Ti Backup not able to backup on SD card...
The fix that everyone is using, points Ti Backup to the internal storage. Which fixes the issue by routing the backups away from SD card.
Depending on version of Ti Backup and how you shut down or end Ti Backup, Android will mess up the file system of your SD card. The only way to fix the issue, is to unmount and remove the SD card and fix the SD card's filesystem on a laptop or computer.
I had an issue once with an older version of Ti backup... about a month ago. Since I have a lot of data and files on my 64GB exfat SD card, I take it out and do a few maintenance tasks time to time. Once I found the file fragments that were crosslinked and removed them Ti Backup found my folder and was able to perform all its functions.
Until the developer of Ti Backup has a better way of controlling background processes to be shutdown gracefully during exit, this can be problematic for some.

Titanium Backup, save to external SD card? (E980 AT&T)

Searched and found some info on the above in regards to other phones, but the solutions did not work for this phone (or maybe just for me):silly:
Rooted with Towelroot, and Chainfire for the Superuser last week. Installed TiB, and checked in one of its menus to use the external SD card for automatic backups (I believe).
So, I perform a full backup of all apps and data, but I had been having issues with a bad install of Go Launcher so I decide to do a phone reset (to KK 4.4.2) and restore with a fresh OS.
Upon reboot, the phone automatically Dl'ed all of my Google info and apps, contacts, and everything, all by itself. When the phone rebooted, I was surprised to see that I still had root, but without SU. Did another restore just to be sure and reinstalled Towelroot manually. There must have been an update to it since last week as the SU was automatically installed this time and I had SU without needing to install Chainfire. I reinstalled TiB and attempted to do a TiB restore, but learned that all of my backup info had been stored on the INTERNAL SD card and it was all wiped with the phone restore.
So, I go back into TiB settings and try to redirect the storage location to the EXTERNAL SD card by hitting the back button when looking at the file structure, but when I get to the external card, TiB says it's not writable. Some other phone threads mentioned to use the MNT directory but that didn't work either.
So, after all the above, can anyone either talk me through how to get TiB to store externally, or possibly would you provide a link if you know of a thread that allows it to work with our phones (E980 on AT&T). I've tried a few things mentioned on different threads but none of it seems to work!
Strange, I always use the TB for my backups and I have 3 automatic settings and does everything on the SD card without problem. I do not think there is a tutorial for that friend, you already have a backup folder? to copy to the SD memory and let that TB to detect it automatically. Sorry for my poor english
Have you tried manually editing the platform.xml as indicated in this post?

Thanks for the info. I followed the link and tried to modify the platform.xml file but the 3 file editors I used would not save the changes. I kept getting errors. Then I saw a link to an app in the app store, tried it and it worked perfectly!!! It modified the platform.xml (and saved the changes, which I was unable to do). The only thing I then had to do was go back into TiB and manually create a "Titanium Backup" folder in "/storage/external_SD".
I ran a backup and checked the SD card and the backup is there where I had hoped it would be.:good:

I had the exact opposite experience. The app didn't work for me so I just manually edited the file with Root Explorer. Glad your issue is resolved.

TiBu problem: Can't write to folder & insufficient storage

Today I started experiencing an issue where TiBu could not perform any backups because of "insufficient storage". Upon further research I found that this issue is related to the "no write permission" for the SD card. I've tried multiple fixes so far:
Adding the media read/write permission by manually editting platform.xml
Downloading SDfix patches from the playstore for 4.4.4
Flashing a zip that contained a modified platform.xml
Note, this issue started today after I restored to a nandroid backup after flashing the Google Play Edition ROM (4.4.4). I was originally on 4.4.2 and the GE rom was 4.4.4
I'm extremely frustrated because I can't seem to get TiBu to accept the fix. When I view my platform.xml through a root explorer it says the permission is there for writing to the external storage.

I had a similar problem this past weekend. It seems that something changed the way that TiBu sees the folders on the External SD Card.
Go to Settings/Preferences/Backup Folder Location
Then use the Detect button. It will find the old backup files, but you will see a different folder path to get there.
After you tell it to use the detected folder, get back to main Settings, and then select Reload Application.
It should work again. At least it did for me.

Thanks for the suggestion Rob, but unfortunately that did not work. It folder location remained the same. As of now, the backup location is "storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup". Should I move the backup folder from my internal storage to my SD card and then try to detect the folder?

The Detect only looks for existing backups. I use by External SD card for two reasons: 1) it frees up some space on the internal, since some apps can't use the external, 2) if the phone dies, it should be possible to take the SD card to a new phone and use it to restore.
You could set the Backup folder location to your External SD card and see if it works when you attempt to backup.

It works now! Anyways, do you have any idea why apps like Instagram and Snapchat dont work after an app/data restore from a TiBu update when flashing a new ROM? I can open the apps successfully but pictures arent being displayed. It's almost like the data is corrupt or something. Thanks again.

Unable to Extract from TWRP Nandroid Backup using Titanium Backup

Hi All,
Been trying to figure this out for the last 30 Hours straight & now I'm at the end of my rag with bloody knuckles & a hole in my desk... So I thought this would be a good a time as any to ask for some advice/help!
I have upgraded/flashed my HTC One M8 (2014) from LP (Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_41.0_866186) to MM (ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.2-20160203-m8) (Based off CM13). I created a backup of all my Apps & Data using Titanium Backup & also made a full Nandroid backup using TWRP.
The problem is with restoring the data within the Nandroid backup, previously I have used the "Extract Data From Nandroid Backup" option in Titanium Backup to extract my SMS/MMS messages to my new Rom. However when I try to do that on MM I'm greeted with the message "Failed to locate your TWRP backups directory. Please verify that the "TWRP/BACKUPS" folder exists on your SD card."
To make thing worse, when I try to restore my Nandroid backup, it all goes well except my WiFi & Mobile Data no longer work... I can connect to my WiFi but it always says that there is no internet connection. So restoring is not an option as I can't do much without internet access.
Anyone have any ideas? I have tried to use a different SD Card & no joy, could it maybe be a permissions issue or something or am I just being a muppet & missing a simple solution.
Either way any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Oh yeah, I Googled the message that Titanium brings up with quotation marks & there were only TWO results (both from the same thread on XDA)... I've never seen Google look so barren!
Hi - I'm having a similar issue. Upgraded from LP to MM and can't extract apps/data from Nandroid backup...
It says it's been successful but no apps are there...

Is your TWRP backup folder on the external sdcard? If so, did you give Titanium access? There's multiple thread about apps needing to be given permission to access external storage. Titanium Backup especially has a lot of threads detailing this because of steps needed to access your backup folder if it is on the external sdcard.
topjohnwu said:
Q: **** app cannot access external SDcard!!
A: Look at this explanation:
Since Kitkat (2 years ago man), we don't have direct external storage write permission. Google consider it insecure, so they implemented this feature. The reason why you can access external SDcard easily before is because most roms on XDA already contains a hack in /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. You should not rely on this hack forever, please take a look below.
In lollipop and after, Google provided a much secure and better way to grant external storage access to third party apps, first of all take a look at this article for details:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...s-automatic-mediastore-and-improves-security/
So instead of using the old platform.xml hack in the old Kitkat days, adopt yourself with this new behavior of Android!! If a certain app cannot access SDcard, ASK THE DEVELOPER to add support for this API!!
Many apps already have support for this API. I'll take Titanium Backup for example, as lots of you cannot find the way to use it on externals SD. In Menu>>Preferences>>Backup Location, you can choose Document Provider on top of the detect button.
In the provider, open the menu on the top right corner and select "Show SDcard", then you'll see External Storage in the left side. Select external SDcard in the document provider and press the button on the bottom, the app will then be granted access to the whole external storage. You can then create a new folder in TiBack and select it as your backup location.
Other apps also follows the instructions above, you just have to manually set up the folder where the app can access, in the case which most of us would love to give access to the whole SDcard, I set the location to the root of external storage. Each app has independent permission, so you have to manually grant each app you wish to access external storage.

'allo mate, I appreciate the reply but it has done nothing for me, just to clarify, I can see my backed up Apps & Data so I'm pretty sure it already has access to the SD card (correct me if I'm wrong) but it is still unable to see the Nandroid TWRP backup... bit of a Jar as I just paid for the premium version of Titanium Backup & Nandroid Manager. Nandroid Manager is able to see the files but hangs when trying to extract the Messages...
Any Ideas?

Copy or move the backup folder to internal storage and it will work. Not sure if it's a bug in TB or because of how MM handles the external sdcard but it doesn't check it. It finds the TWRP folder on internal, which if you don't backup on internal, only has your preferences (and theme if you use one). I never used it, so not sure if it was an issue before MM or not.
I did try and got an error about not finding a "clockworkmod/backup" folder or a "TWRP/Backups" folder so to see what happened I made a "Backups" folder in the TWRP directory on my internal storage and the error basically changed to say there were no backups in it.

Cheers for that mate, seems to have done the trick. Unfortunately when I restore my Phone & Messaging data it completely destroys my phone... I get the message "com.android.phone" has stopped working & the entire system slows down to a crawl... I also get the Sim Card icon in the top right of the screen with a line through it... Is this because I'm moving between Sense to something else? I'm really at my wits end with this.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I would say that's definitely it. Not only are you restoring app data for system apps from two different Android versions (LP -> MM) which can be buggy, but also for two completely different builds (Sense -> CM) which don't use the same apps. Sense will use HTC's own Phone and Messaging apps and CM if I remember uses stock Android versions). It's been too long since I tried CM but when I did it I had a third-party program for backing up contacts and installed something like GoSMS to backup messages, then installed the same apps on CM and restored the data from within those apps and the stock dialer/messaging apps had the data. But this was before HTC added backup/restore capability into their versions of the apps.
I'm having a similar issue, I google searched and it brought me here. I can see my backup from within TWRP, even on the PC I can see the TWRP folder and files. But when I boot and use titanium backup or nandroid manager, it says backup not found. Even in the root browser, the TWRP folder is empty and even on the PC I can't see the files anymore. Its kind of frustrating because there are two apps that I want restored but I don't want to completly restore using TWRP.

Try going to Settings>Apps, find Titanium Backup, then select Permissions and see if Storage is toggled on.
I've got the same problem, storage permission is toggled on. Although I am using a LG G3
same here with my Galaxy S5 (AOKP 6.0.1)
The same problem on Xiaomi Mi Max (Android 6.0.1). External SD card permission is granted to TB (it can see full SD contents and select TWRP backup directories). But "extract from Nandroid backup" shows "folder not found" error.
I'm afraid CWM/TWRP directory locations are hardcoded as "/TWRP on SD card" while /sdcard is mapped to internal memory on modern phones.
I had copied data files of the backup (1.5 gigs, not a best choice) to internal memory (/sdcard) and TB immediately found them. Unfortunately, TB offers only apps and app data for restoration. I need to extract plain user data directories but TB offers no way for that.
Stock S5 6.0.1
same here...what a pain..

DAMN THANK YOU that solved it
Anyone knows how to extract the nandroidbackup from the TWRP folder on ExternalStorage? I cannot move the backup because its to large for my InternalStorage. I think it's an issue in TiBackup, creating a symbolic link also does not work since my ExternalStorage is formatted as exFAT.
Another fix I discovered is get your BACKUP ID
twrp save folder > TWRP>BACKUPS>BACKUPID>backup
if you have a backup without a backupid folder it will not work!
Having storage permission or not doesn't seem to help at all!
