I have SGh t989 and i just switched from juggernaut to cyanogenmod and now titanium backup has non of my info for restore
I suggest you search for titanium backup in the cm7 thread in the development section
I have not ran CM7 on this device yet but if I remember correctly from the CM7 thread CM7 only mounts one of the sd cards external or internal.....I am assuming your titanium back ups are stored on the sd card that is not mounted.....
Copy your titanium folder to external sd card from emmc.
Go into titanium backup >press menu button > select preferences >click backup folder location>click "detect" >search whole device.
that should be what you are looking for.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

Titanium Backup
A great way to do this is to use titanium backup. You'll need root to use it though. Look for it in the market.
Install;
Backup to sd card.
copy everything to a computer including hidden files.
copy again just in case.
put the old sd card in a safe place.
copy everything to the new card.
insert the card into the phone
turn the phone on.
if anything is missing,
batch restore in titanium backup.

Everything will be missing as the ext that symlinks all the apps will be empty. With some a2sd+ scripts, the.phone won't even boot if this is the case.
Then you get these huge sense roms that shift part of system to ext. There is no way titanium could fix that
The method I mentioned is tried and tested as the best, most consistent and completest way to do this with an ext partition

Since you obviously don't know how to, I suggest opening a new thread on it, like the op here did.
No seriously, create new thread button should be disabled for n00ns.
Can anyone tell me what the settings should be on my Galaxy S3 in order to save a Titanium backup to the external SD card? While I had Titanium and used it on my HTC Sensation without a problem, I have encountered that when I have it on my T-mo Galaxy SIII, it saves the backups to the internal 16 GB memory by default, not the SD card. This is a problem because the backup is erased when I instal a new ROM and wipe the partition. Recently I installed a new ROM and found out that when I went to recover all my apps they were gone and were not on my SD card backed up (even though I had ran it and completed a backup). My pics and videos were still on the SD card so I know that it was not formatted itself when I installed the new ROM.
My current backup folder shows as: /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup
Should it be something else in order to save to my external 64 GB SDCard? Should any other settings be changed to something else? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
writici change
That should be the right folder. /sdcard/ refers to the external microSD for our phones. I just checked my TI settings and that's the same folder I use.
In your 64gb micro SD create a folder called "TitaniumBackup" <----this is very important!
Then open up Titanium Backup app and hit menu button, then go to Preferences.
Scroll down and select *Backup folder location.
Press "Detect", then "Whole device".
Once its done you will see /mnt/extSdCard/Titaniumbackup in the list. Select it. (the other one is gonna be /mnt/titaniumbackup thats internal sd)
Then select "Use the current folder".
If it asks you to transfer data you can which will transfer your existing back in the internal to the new one. Up to you. Or you can just start a whole new backup which will now store in you micro sd card.

Wrong
it's /mnt/extSDcard
Or you can connect your phone to your computer and pull the titanium backup folder from your phone for safe keeping while you flash. Then once everything is booted up again you can reconnect and drag and drop the folder back on the phone.
Has anyone successfully backed up to external SD with TiBu? I recently mucked up my phone and had to reflash to stock to recover, and this wiped out all my TiBu backups which were on the internal SD partition. When I try to choose my own custom backup path in TiBu preferences it shows the internal SD as an option and then a folder in orange and the message "This folder is not writable". I have already ran SDfix and have the camera store images on the external SD, how do I get TiBu to recognize it as a valid location? I would rather not hassle with manually copying TiBu's folder in ES File Explorer
I did try downloading this Xposed module and TiBu still complains

EDIT: argh, thread already exists on here, the built-in search really sucks...
Make SD Card Writable to Apps
I used the procedure in the link here and it worked fine. I did it specifically for the reasons you cite, but it supposedly makes it work with all apps. I definitely works for TiBU. I am rooted. May need to be rooted to do this.

When i tried to make a backup it created this file in my twrp folder
Im not getting a fail message or anything, it shows like it created the backup but it just doesn't. Any help?
Im on Lollipop a Samsung rom but it wouldn't work with cm12 either.
Edit: Im also having a problem deleting TB backups for old apps i dont need anymore. I will delete them but when i go back into TB they will be there again, my backups are stored on my sd card.
