Where is CWM backup stored?

[jellywobbles]

Hi:

I have installed this Universal Root Toolkit 7.1 from XDA - all worked fine on a B70 on 8.6.5.21. Now have root & Clockwork Recovery installed.

I have made an initial Backup using Clockwork recovery, but cannot find any backup?

When I ran the backup it said:-

Couldn't open directory
No files found
SD Card space free: 28665Mb
Backing up system...
backing up data ...
and so on ....

The backup looked like it was running & took quite a few minutes, but I couldnt find any backup?

I have a keyboard dock - should this be connected before running a Clockwork recovery?

Can someone put me straight? I am obviously doing something wrong. Have tried a search but cant find a suitable answer.

Thanks

Saves it to a folder on the MicroSD Card called "clockworkmod"

That what I thought, but no such directory on my MicroSD card??

This is really baffling me

I will manually create the directory & see if it works after that.

Thanks

Your MicroSD Card is in the tablet half of the Transformer not the dock ?

You are entering ClockWorkMod by Holding Volume Down + Power to boot ?

Yep sure is!

Just a thought - this card is a Kingston 32Gb Class 10 microSD card. I wonder if the TF101 doesnt like the card?

UPDATE: I just upgraded CWM to Rogue XM Recovery v1.3.0 (CWM 5.0.2.7) - replaced the 32Gb card with a Class 4 4Gb card. Ran a backup & it worked - I can see the directory "clockwordmod" with a sub called "backup" containing the full backup!

BINGO! Looks like my issues were with the 32Gb Class 10 card!

Thanks for your assistance - much appreciated

Good news it is working, maybe you should update the developer of CWM with your discovery if it can not handle SDHC cards, was it formatted to FAT32 ?

Yes formatted to FAT32!

This is the card I was using - maybe a good idea to avoid these?

Thanks

Yes, that's right, go ahead and ignore the possibility that you could have gotten a fake card. The US market is saturated with these fake critters. They are 512mb cards that have been rewired to show 32gb on your device.

I know there are plenty of bad/fake cards on the web, but Amazon or one of it's retailers?

You could run h2testw available from here:-

Download H2testw 1.4 Free - Check your USB for errors with this tool. - Softpedia

This should give you a clue as the cards true capacity!

When I play CWM, I disconnect the dock for safety.
