[Q] Titanium Backup location

---

I want to change the backup folder in Titanium to my external SD card. The Titanium site says to do the following:
-Open the Titanium Backup settings (MENU -> Preferences)
-For the Android 2.2/Froyo ROM (or the Cognition ROM on a Samsung Captivate), set the "Backup folder name" to external_sd/TitaniumBackup

When I open Settings and preferences the closest thing I see is the "Backup folder location". When I open that, it tells me where it's backing up to, but the only options I have are "Detect", "Use the current folder" and "Cancel". Am I missing something?

Try using external_sd/TitaniumBackup for the backup folder name. Then reboot. Works great for me!

Don't forget to hit the Thanks Button!

That's the problem. I don't know how to change the location.

You need to navigate up one folder. When you are on the screen w/ the Detect button, hit the back button and then you should be able to scroll down to external_sd. (I know, it's completely weird and I have no idea why TB would do this.)

That has got to be the most counter intuitive thing I've ever seen. Thanks.

I agree totally weird! Thanks for advice here though as I was stuck too....

This post was very helpful. thank you.

Candle in the dark...

I've just spent 2 hours looking for this solution. THANKS.
Somebody needs to sync the program and the Wiki 'cause they don't match

Awesome I was looking for this too thanks

When u click on "backup folder location" in the preferences menu, it has a box for "detect", and at the bottom of the window, it says, "use the current folder" and "cancel". When u open the window, next to the "detect" box, it will show the default file path, and folder name that the app is set to save ur backup to, which should say something along the lines of, "/mnt/sdcard/", etc. Just press ur back key, and it will take u backwards through ur file locations.Just press the back key on ur phone until u get to the path name that starts with "/mnt", then u can scroll down and click on the folder named, "sdcard-ext", they inside that folder, u can click on "create new folder". Name it "TB Backup File", or whatever it is u want it to say. Easy as that. Any questions, please feel free to ask
