I was on DN 3 and before shifting to ProBam 1.2.4, I made a nandroid backup using TWRP 2.6.3.1
It was a huge backup of around 3GB.. I wanted to shift this backup to my PC so as to free some space but I cant find the backup neither in the internal storage nor in the SD card.. But the backup is visible in the recovery, which means it does exist!
Please help as to where my backup is and how do I move to PC.
All help is appreciated :D

Did u find it in the TWRP folder in both SD-Card and Internal Storage?

Smack that Thanks button if I helped!

Sent from a small country called Singapore.
P.S. Time for school, not much time for XDA :(

Reflash/update TWRP. Try using Online Nandroid Backup to backup.

i don't know this method can work or not... :)
but... r u able to find this backup from file explorer / root explorer on ur phone?
if yes, try to move it to other folder (create new one on the sd card).
perhaps u will be able to see it from PC.
some folder system are not readable from windows.

Hey man I had the same problem, so I found a solution, everytime I want a backup to be put in the pc, I select the back to external sd card option, it shows there, and it always works, hope this solves it for u next time
