SD card issues with Titanium Backup - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having SD card issues with certain apps, specifically titanium backup and astro file manager. When I try to bakup with titanium backup to the sd card, I get this message: "Batch Backup interrupted: Insufficient free storage space". When I try to copy something to my sd card with astro I get the message: "Device missing label Due to a bug in Android to be able to write to an SD card or usb the device must have a label. . . ."
I am able to backup with TiB using internal storage, and able to copy things to the sd card with the stock file manager.
I have tried unchecking the "mount namespace separation" option in supersu and did not work. I also added made sure to name the card on my laptop, as suggested by the Astro help message. Neither worked.
It has been the same on two g4s, with two different sd cards, one formated exfat and one fat32.
Is anyone able to use an sd card to backup TiB?
Using internal storage now but would rather use sd card because of the size of the backup.
Device is VS986, if that makes a difference.

smth similar here - TB prob - even though I have some 15GB free on SD (64GB SDXC) i'm unable to backup to microSD ( insufficient disk space) , after backing up to internal storage I'm able to copy backup to microSD (Genisys 3.7, xPosed 79, SuperSU 2.67, TB - latest)

Yes, you can move TWRP and the Titanium Backup folder to your SD card. TWRP has an option up at the top that tells you if you're on the SD card or internal storage. Once you move those folders to your SD card, simply toggle that setting to the SD card and it will use your SD for your backups.
As for Titanium Backup, you'll have to manually set your backup location; just open the preferences -> backup folder location and point that to your SD card.

[Q] TWRP doesn't see external SD card

I have a T320 Tab Pro 8.4 with this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698460 and with TWRP 2.7.0.1.
I have a 32GB external micro SD card which has been formatted in the tab itself. Also the platform.xml file has been edited to allow write access to the card, which works properly eg using Astro to copy files.
Problem is, TWRP can't see the external SD card. When I select external_sd in the TWRP file manager it does not show the files and folders there. If I backup using Online Nandroid Backup and try to save it to external SD, it instead goes to some obscure directory in the internal storage.
Any help much appreciated!

Here's a little followup for anyone who might have similar issue. I thought I had solved this problem by reformatting the card in the tablet; it was then recognized in various apps that had been a problem before. However, a few days later the card was shown as blank/unformatted. At that point I did some additional testing and determined that it was a counterfeit 32GB card, based on an actual 8GB card. I was able to get a refund and ordered a new 64GB card. Caveat emptor!

[Q] SD card removed error

I had Kitkat PAC-MAN rom installed and I used to get error randomly that "SD Card removed". TiBu failed to backup at scheduled time because SD Card was not accesible. But at the same time I can access the SD card using File manager.
Now I flashed Stock 4.3 rom and now Spotify and Google Music fail to detect and download Music to SD card. I can still access SD card using file explorer and play files directly.
What size SD card do you have? Depending on the size and if you have your information backed up, performing a chkdsk on the sd card may fix your issue.
I had this problem once before with a 64gb sd card, something was corrupted and check disk fixed it(surprisingly)

Titanium Backup not working with external SD card

Exactly as it says. I have root but it does not seem to let me right to the external sd folder.
I actually get the warning that there is insufficient space. But there is more then enough space on the MicroSD card.
