Root [International] Nandroid backup invisible on PC

[Vicx]

I usually make nandroid backups and transfer them from SD card to PC (win XP) and it's always worked fine, the last time was a month ago. Today however, when viewing the folder on my PC it's simply not there. I made another backup and renamed it, but still nothing shows. I can still see my old backups, but today's backup isn't there.

I checked in ES explorer and the backup IS there, but it's just not visible on PC. Even if I move the entire clockworkmod folder it still doesn't transfer anything, it's not hidden, it simply doesn't exist to Windows.

I checked the properties of both the old and new backups, both read/write enabled and hidden disabled, everything's exactly the same. I haven't changed anything since my last backup, except the nandroid app itself has updated.

What can I do?

If you're backing up to external sd, put it into a USB card reader then you will see it just fine.
You could also try toggling mtp/usb mode.

As for the reason it's not showing currently, the pc holds a cache somewhere of what is stored on your device. I've not found of a way of manually refreshing this, but sooner or later it will get shown

I've never had this problem before, why would it suddenly start caching it now? If it's not recognising anything I think it's more than a caching problem.

I'll try the USB card reader method eventually, but it's not very practical compared to simply plugging in my USB cable.

EDIT: The USB-SD method worked. But I've got it working now on PC too, I went ahead and updated to Danvdh's CM (10 august) and now my new nandroid backups suddenly show up on PC.
