here's the deal, I got only 8gb microsd, and 6gb freespace internal storage
whenever I make nandroid backup using phillz, I always backup it on my 32gb otg flash drive

I always use titanium backup to restore apps+datas from nandroid backup, since the usual method always freeze/hang, so I copied the cwm backup to external microsd first, then, using titanium to restore it

recently my nandroid backups reach 7.63 gigs, and since my ext card only has 7.6 gb, so there isn't enuff space to copy the cwm backup onto the ext sd

and unfortunately titanium backup doesnt detect cwm backups on usb otg , is there a way to make it detect cwm backup on usb otg ?


thanks

Refer to this

One other thing worth mention is when you make CWM(Phillz) backup, make sure there is no previous backuped file in your device. CWM backup will backup everything including old CWM Backups, doesn’t matter it’s stored in External SD or internal, that’s totally waste of space. May it be the reason why you got 7G backup?

I think this is a major feature request...
It can't be that difficult to implement restoring NANDROID Backups from otg.
I have the same problem with a Motorola (falcon) with only 8gb memory where it is impossible to restore a backup, because I don't have enough space to have the data and the full backup within 8gb. :(
