[Q] CWM Backup to extSdCard

[dietmarthebiker]

Hi,

I think my question have to be the thread in the Developer Section but I'm a new user and not allowed to post there at the moment so I have to write here.

I've rooted my I9195 and also installed the ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.3 from arco68. When I want to make a backup the device offers me the option "backup to external sdcard" but selecting it brings the error "Can't mount backup path".
Is there any chance to solve this problem? I would like to have my backups on the sdcard and not in the internal memory.

Another problem is that CWM sets doesn't set the folder name correctly. On my Desire the folder was the actual date and time (e.g. 2013-07-26.08.33.25) but my backup from last week has the foldername 2013-01-01.09.14.57.

Regards,
Marco

I'll look into the backup thing.

The date/time thing is because your device didn't have it up to date when you made the backup. This device doesn't store the time between reboots afaik. To fix that it requires a change in the kernel, which I have already done in my custom kernel for CM10.1, but I can apply it to the insecure kernel as well.

This would be great!!!

I had the same problem. It seems that this ClockworkMod Recovery doesn't support exFAT file system. The phone formats my sdcard in exFAT file system by default. The solution is to format sdcard in FAT32 file system. I formatted my sdcard in FAT32 and ClockworkMod Recovery properly made a backup using "backup to external sdcard".
One can use EaseUS partition manager for Windows, or gparted for Linux, to format sdcard in FAT32 file system.
