Hi guys
Hi have the latest clockworkmod installed but I see no way to do a backup to a usb stick
I have done a backup to the internal sdcard. clockworkmod sees the backup but when I use es file explorer the backup does not show in the clockworkmod folder.
Basically I want to move the backup of the internal sdcard and have it on a usb stick
Any ideas for these? Thanks in advance
You can see your backups at /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup using ES.

how do I delete nandroid backups for an evo 4g?
I delete mine by using a file manager then go to the nandroid folder and delete the old nandroids also I backup ALL my nandroids on my pc then delete them

Go into nandroid folder then into the next folder H something, in that folder will be all your nands named by date. Just delete which ever ones you don't need either via some root explorer app or Pc usb.

Go to the sd card > open nandroid folder > open HT... > select the backup and delete it.

I have just recently rooted my intl' S3. I also did a nandroid backup to the phone twice and its taking up quite a bit of space. I have tried to locate the nandroid folder from what you posted and cannot find the nandroid folder. I am using astro folder right now but maybe switching to my file app later if this does not work. thanks in advance!

The folder should be named whatever recovery you are using. If you're using ClockworkMod, it may say 'clockworkmod' or 'cwm'. If you're using TWRP recovery, it should say 'twrp'. The backup files will be in that folder.

Fln is correct, in that it'll be named whatever recovery you're using. Probably cwm, listed under clockworkmod, unless you explicitly changed to twrp. Just make sure you look on the device sdcard for the backups.

I have looked into these folders and found nothing. I have used File manager and Astro File with no luck finding this folder. I went back into the Samsung tool kit to see if it will allow me to delete those files on the phone put no luck there either. thanks again for your assistance.

thanks but I still cannot find the back up. I have used the samsung tool kit to create the nandroid back ups but now I dont know how to find it to delete. in the toolkit it does not provide an option to delete back ups from the phone unless I maybe misunderstanding the option available. i have installed rom manager and there i can create nandroid backups by going into the recovery page. I cannot flash roms because of the space limitations. I want to delete these back ups on the phone and just leave it on the computer so that i can start flashing roms thru rom manager.
I do not have an external SD card because its still in the mail. Thanks for all your help!

I just went into the CWM recovery mode and located the 2 nandroid backups I created but still could not delete any of them. All my file explorers does not have any nandroid folders and the CWM folder is still empty. Am I missing a particular setting that is not allowing me to see the backups?

What file explorer are you using? I prefer es file explorer [free], make sure you set the root settings to r/w, for giggles. It should be listed as internal sd card or sdcard01, probably the prior; I forget what its called on tw. Just verify for clockworkmod folder, and should list your device id, and the backups inside.

You are the MAN teh roxxorz, adjusted the root settings for es file explorer and was able to free up 4gb of space (nandroid BU) Thank you so much! Now I do not have to unroot, do a factory wipe just to delete excess backups!!
I have CWM rogue recovery but I cannot figure out how to delete old backups, its taking up space on sd card, can someone help. Do I have to connect to my pC and do it manually, and if so where is the backup files where it would be stored.. thanks in advance.

You need a file manager, like root explorer, es file manager, Astro, etc..
Go to sdcard/externalsd/clockworkmod/backup
they should be in there..
For me, in astro file manger they're in mnt/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod
You can delete them using any file manager or when connected to a pc
Edit: I don't usually erase mine, I transfer them to pc and label accordingly. I generally only keep 2 backups on my phone, my stock rooted setup and most recent setup

Hey guys,
I have used gnexus toolkit 'Boot to CWM Recovery without Permanently Flashing it' to start my gnexus, and made a nandroid backup, but i can't find the backup files in my clockwormod folder. When i Boot to CWM Recovery, there is a backup files in restore option, then where is the backup files?
Anyone can help me? I want to find the backup files.
Thanks.
At least in my Galaxy S2, the backups are kept in the microSD external_sd card, folder clockworkmod, subfolder backup
From this external microSD card, CWM is able to recognize every single backup I saved for restore..
post is right above me.
it is located in:
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup or
data/media/clockworkmod/backup
They should be recognized in recovery (under backup and restore option)
Are you browsing using an Android file manager or plugging the phone into a PC? I had a simular issue where CW backups weren't showing when connected to my computer, although they were there using ES File Explorer.
For me, they eventually appeared in "sdcard/clockwork/backup" while browsing the file system from my computer.
my problem

I have a backup file on my sd card from my old evo. The phones broken so i can't restore the backup. I wanted to pull some files out but I don't know how to go about doing it. I started making an emulated version of the phone but I'm not sure I'll be able to restore the backup in the emulated version. Any help would be great.
Put the file in your new phone and use a program like Nandroid Manager to extract what you need.
