In trying to get titanium backup to save to the SD card I see marshmallow has no WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to modify with an SD fix app. I found this on other forums here...
Use es explorer & create a folder on your SD card for the backup.
Go into titanium backup, preferences , backup folder location.
Above the detect button you see storage provider, touch that.
Select DocumentProvider storage
Select the SD card from the open from menu
Then select the folder you created first and touch USE THE CURRENT FOLDER
restart backup, double check the folder is still there & you're all set.
Hope this helps
Good find...nice and easy.

I'm running v1.7.0.1 and when I go to do a NAND restore I notice I have multiple files to choose from. I'm used to only having the lastest backup as a restore point. Is there any way to name these files? I figured out by trial and error that the last one (bottom) is the most recent backup. But it would be nice to be able to make some notes in the file name.
There are a couple ways:
1.) From within the phone: If you have Root explorer, Astro, or ES Explorer, and look for your nandroid folder, you are able to rename it that way.
2.) Mount your phone to your pc. Locate the sd card drive, scroll to your nandroid folder and rename away.
Is there a way to delete some of the backups that you have made in nandroid?
defiantly go into your sd card with astro or any file management app and look for a Clockworkmod folder. there's a back up sub folder. you can delete from there which one you dont want or need anymore,
Ok so I just rooted my S3, 4.4.2 Boost Mobile phone. Worked fine. No problem rooting it. Made a backup using CWM and then I installed Philz recovery and also made another back up. In recovery it shows BOTH backups, and says they are located in
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
then in individually named folders of the backups.
HOWEVER, when I look using ES File Explorer, I only have the clockworkmod folder, and it does NOT contain any other folders, no "backup" folder at all.
Ok, so let me try the Aroma File manager. Same thing if I go to /sdcard/0/clockworkmod/ there are two very small files:
".last_install_path", and ".recovery_version".
HOWEVER, I am able to navagate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/ and THERE I find the backup folder with my two backups.
Why can I not find this folder from android? Even when I use STORAGE ANALYZER and tell it to look at the system parttions and even when I use ES FILE MANAGER and tell it to do an SD CARD ANALYSIS, it doesn't show these backups. So I have copied a backup to the download folder of the sdcard and am hoping to copy it over to my PC before flashing a new ROM.
NOTE: I do NOT have an external SD Card installed yet.
I just thought this is super strange. ?? Anyone have any idea? Thanks.
Now after booting into Android and looking into the folder I copied to /Download, the folder is empty.. !?!? I'm SO LOST right now....
It SHOWS that space is missing on my device so these files DO EXIST SOMEWHERE but SOMEHOW it's as if they are being hidden... is it knox???
Ok if I use "MY FILES" I can see the folder that I copied to /Download and the files in it, but NOT if I use ES File Manager, and NOT if I use Root Explorer. However even MY FILES still shows clockworkmod dir as empty!?
Ok so it turns out it has something to do with a permissions issue. Why is that? I run Storage Analyzer and when I try to click on the recoveries I copied to /Download it tells me that I don't have permission for that folder. Do I need to run some kind of FIX PERMISSIONS on this? Is there such a thing for the S3?
I found someone else talking about this same thing and looks like they solved it. here is the link:

There should be a trash can icon to delete the back up, or a button that says "Delete Backup" otherwise you can use a file manager to delete it by navigating to "Internal SD>TWRP>Backups"

That's not backup folder that taking up your space.
Are you on TWRP ? Make a backup of your internal storage data like pictures, musics & etc to PC.
In TWRP select Wipe - Format data - type "yes"
Reboot to recovery again then install your ROM zip if you're on custom ROM
Or copy back your backup and restore that.
I stupdily deleted exchange-services 5.0.0.0200
Can somebody attach this to this message or upload it somewhere AND tell me in whisch dir it should be located???
Thanks!!!!

ok, download titanium backup.
if does not exist, create an folder in your internat storage which is called "TitaniumBackup".
i attached a zip archiv with 3 files inside. Put these 3 files into these TitaniumBackup folder.
Then open titanium backup (skip all pop ups) Go to backup and restore.
Then search for the exchange service and press restore.

Thanks for your reply.
I didnt use your tip but reflashed and exchange services was there (all other settings and apps also)
Although I didnt use your tip it still set me in the right direction.
