You did notice that your 3rd screenshot shows only one backup, right?
The same screenshot shows: (click here to change). Use that to select one of three options to possibly try to get synced to where the actual backups are. Think of the alternatives as permission choices. If you see this "This folder does not have write permission", you can't select that location- it may even be hid if it's on your micro sdcard that you're trying to sync TB to but there's no write permission allocated there.
Ultimately, you may have to move those backups to a folder you create with the 2nd option with TB. I'd suggest you have those backed up on PC to prevent loss; the TB prompted move process is dysfunctional for me. You may have success with simply creating the folder with TB and then copying the backups there.
Marshmallow has limited the access and write privileges. Maybe it's PE1 security update that changed but manage with what you can by moving to favorable location.
I've read posts suggesting /Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup will allow TB to protect backups but unless the path includes /mnt/media_rw, didn't work for me. Mine is /mnt/media_rw/sdcard volume name/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/.
If Titanium Backup creates a folder, it will have the owner and permissions it needs to save and read the backups.

Looks like your backups got wiped. Mine have been wiped multiple times unfortunately. I have mine on my external SD card and it's still happened. From what I can tell, when the app points to the backup location and is uninstalled it'll remove all of the backups too. I never uninstall apps before flashing something new but I have a feeling when I used Odin it played some magic and poof went the backups because that is the only time they ever vanish. In fact the com.keramidas folder mentioned above that I make myself gets removed also.

My backups are in my SD card and internal trying to see if it makes a difference but in both locations it still don't recognize them even though they are there
I have old backup folders and they appear with no problem
It might be that folder or something as that's the only that don't show up

Is there a way to get ROM MANGER to default to the Internal "SD" card for backups? It always goes to my external card.
I know I can manually launch clockworkmod and select "internal SD" but I would rather do it from within the O/S so I can name the files.
you can always rename the files however you like with any file editor to rename them
and you can move the zip files around to either Internal SD or External SD
personally i like them on the External SD better to safe space on my Internal SD
I do that but like the convenience of doing it from the O/S. I thought I preferred the external as well until yesterday. The reason I want to do that is because when I tried doing a restore from the external it kept crashing. Seems my 32GIG card is flaky (as these cards can be) and I couldn't restore. I know it's the card because it restored fine from the internal SD. The internal ram, not being a "card" is much more reliable and now I am too skittish to use the external MicroSd for backups.
PM Koush or sent him an email for a feature request on his CWR
to let user pick where the backup are kept
I think I'm missing something!?
It looks like it's included already?

Well I'll be a son of a b .......... I tried MENU everywhere except from the main screen! Dohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Thanks for making me look foolish, I deserved it! But I don't feel that bad since Allgamer didn't recall either,
not exactly, i was thinking more in the area of Letting you select a Folder you like.
i do know of the internal vs. external option
that's why i said i like it to be on the external by default a few messages above
ideally we should be able to pick a folder to keep all that stuff, i'll like to point it to a folder called "ROMs" for example in the root of /sdcard/
instead of the default
(titanium backup just recently added that feature, well more like they improved it)
Ok, so somehow I did something that caused my SD card to fill up. When I look at DiskUsage, it shows that the system data folder is taking up all of my space.
Has anyone else had this problem, and can you fix it?

I really need help...
I don't know what you did.... I compared my unit using the same tool and I don't even have a System Data section on my /sdcard
If you have TWRP loaded, you might be able to wipe your data etc... but I have no idea.
Perhaps someone else has an idea
Well, I dont have a system data folder, atleast in my SD card.
I am thinking maybe it is somehow attatched to the SD partition, but...
Anyway, is it normal to have 200,000 + files in your "sys" directory?
The tool you are using doesn't output very clear info and the graphics by themselves don't give you details on what it is really finding...
Below is what mine looks like. This appears to be the same setting you used, but as you can see, there is no System Data listed.
Are there tools that are more presise I can look for?
Ok, so I found a file inside LOST.DIR called 1048578. It is taking up 2.3 GB. Can I delete it safely?
yes you should be able to do that.
You most likely had a crash and the file was lost from where it was actually pointing.
An solution to your problem

its because of three things that regularly happen
1) Because of Browsing the internet System data gets increased.
Try clearing your browser cache and reboot(e.g chrome, mozilla, the one u use the most)
2) Because of opening gallery your /DCIM/.Thumbnails folder gets loaded whit lots of bytes. delete the /DCIM/.Thumbnails folder
3) Also because of transfering files from your pc to your phone one more folder gets loaded.. delete it its the /nomedia/
Plz Hit Thanks............. :good: :good: :laugh:
The same thing also happened to me. Using the Android tool DiskUsage, after deleting many large media files via the PC, all of a sudden a System data of 22 GB was indicated. After I restarted the phone, the size was reduced to 2.3 GB.

Thinking of flashing a ROM? Wiping your phone? Here's how to backup and restore!
I REALLY recommend buying titanium backup. There's a reason it's one of the TOP paid apps available for android. Note that you have to be rooted to use it!

}
1) When you open up titanium backup check and make sure it says you're rooted.
2) Click Schedules to routinely backup your phone. As you can see I have 3 schedules that run daily.
Redo backups for modified data: This backs up the data for your apps. For example... if you are on Level 35 in Angry Birds, doing this will save that data. When you have to reinstall your ROM for whatever reason and have to re-install Angry Birds, the data that states you've passed all the levels prior to Level 35 will be restored.
Backup all new apps and newer versions: It only backs up the apps that have been updated from the Android Market Place since the last backup and adds any new apps you've downloaded as well.
Delete backups for un-installed apps: This deletes backups for apps I've uninstalled during the day. I wouldn't want titanium backup to restore all the apps I've deleted and don't want anymore would I?
3) If you're using a launcher such as Apex or Nova, I also recommend backing up those settings in the launcher itself just in case Titanium Backup doesn't.
4) Now is the time to download your respective ROM and Kernels. Put these on your SD card somewhere easy to find. All ROMS depend on the phone you're using. They're not universal. The two major sites you can find ROMS and Kernels for your device are XDA and RootzWiki.
5) All you have to do now is boot into Clockwork Recovery. From here you wipe system data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache. You can also click "Mounts and Storage" and format the respective folders in there such as system and boot.
6) Once flashed reboot the phone and make sure it boots.
7) You can click the about section in the phone settings to check the radio/kernel/ROM/android version you're on.
8) The first thing I do after signing into my Google account is opening up the play store and installing titanium backup.
9) From TiBu, Click the check mark in the top right to access the batch options. Scroll down to restore and click "Restore missing apps and data". You use this option because restoring system data can cause conflicts with the ROM. After the batch install is done your phone should be read to go!
Note: I flash stuff often which is why I backup so often!
I'm currently low on space on my internal storage and I believe the problem is old nandroid backups from back when I used CWM. I now use TWRP and it doesn't see my old backups. Where can I find the backups so that I can delete them?
If all you wanna do is deal with the nandroid backups on your device, I use Nandroid Manager (from Google Play store, its free). It finds the paths where any and all backups on the device may be stored, and lists them for you. You can then go and delete them or browse them if you want...
I've tried that, but it only shows my most recent backup that was made with TWRP. It doesn't show any of my old backups that I made when I was still using CWM

Download Rom Manager in the play store from Clockworkmod and go to Manage and Restore Backups and then delete them.

Use a file browser and go to sdcard-clockworkmod and they should all be there. Cut and paste them to a computer if you need to save them. You can always use titanium back as well as app from above to extract anything you need.
Sorry for the late response, I've been busy with school and just got around to attempting to fix this issue to no avail. I tried reflashing CWM to see if it could see old recoveries but I couldn't see any. I'm beginning to think it's not actually old nandroid files, but something else taking up all the storage instead. I've used diskusage and root explorer to try and find something that was taking up lots of room, but nothing was taking up much space. I don't have many apps, and there's no way the rom should be taking up this much room. This thread over at androidcentral shows other people having the same problem. This is getting pretty bad as I can't update or install any apps.

After doing some digging around in diskusage I finally found the culprit. All of the old recoveries had been moved into /data/lost+found. Deleting the contents fixed all my problems! Hopefully this will help someone else out, it has been driving me crazy.
Hey guys
I've searched around a lot for this but haven't found anything that helps me...Basically recently my phone has been telling me that there is around ~520mb free left on internal storage.
Here's some pics from "Storage" and from the StorageAnnilyser app.

Everything I have (pictures, etc) is stored on my external SD, so I really don't know what is clogging up my internalSD at this point...
Also, I have made two CWM backups, which are not showing up in either internalSD/Clockworkmod, or on my externalSD/Clockworkmod as I have it set to.
Any ideas where they can be found?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks guys,
Elliott
Bump
Did you check under TWRP. That would be the place your backup would go to with the newer TWRP recovery.
I'm using CWM.
Use a root explorer and browse to /data/Lost+found if it's packed, delete everything
Empty but thanks...any other ideas?

Could try Diskusage from play store. It gives a little bit more info of what files are taking up space. Can be set to scan Internal/SD and if you have root, even the main directory. (personally never used the root scan) It reminds me of a pc app called Windirstat. It will even allow you to delete files straight from the app.
I actually just ran into this same problem myself last week. In your storage analyser app (the same one i use btw) change the path its looking at to the /data partition (the pie chart button). If it is as i suspect your lost+found folder is probably brimming with junk file fragments. This folder is protected even beyond normal root elevations and doesn't show the files contained within. I was able to use File Manager! from the play store, change the permissions on the folder and delete some of the junk but there were still some that it couldn't delete for some reason. I deleted the contents of the folder using the file manager in TWRP which supersedes the permissions on the folder, in CWM you can probably do the same with the AROMA file manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952862. Its probably worth mentioning im using an AOSP based ROM and the permissions may be different in TW.
Thanks guys.
Disk usage worked great for me in ways that storage analyser never did.
I found my CWM backups in the root directory of my phone (not even in internal storage). I moved/deleted a bunch of them and problem solved...
Don't know why the backups are saved there but whatever...going to be saving to external storage from now on (where I thought they were being saved originally)
