Root Question about memory

Android Enthusiast
I believe this apply to the root section.
First off. I just got my n7 on Thanksgiving. Loving it
This is my first device above 2.3 gingerbread. Also my first with ONLY internal memory.
The problem I'm having is when I boot into recovery and go to restore a backup. Its no longer there.
I can make the backup, go into root exploror its clearly there in the back ups folder.
But its happened multiple times already. When I flash a new rom and something screws up (problem w. Paranoid android) I go to recovery and select restore and there are no options.
I am not formatting internal memory to my knowledge.
I guess My main ? Is through this rant is (lol)
Does a factory reset in cwm erase internal sd?
 
If you're in 4.2 it messes up the folder that the backups are saved in because of the multi user thing. I know there's a way to fix it but u can't remember. I think it was something on xda
 
Two ways to fix this, move your clockworkmod directory to /data/media (with 4.2 it will be unter /data/media/0) then cwm will see it.

Or you can use the process here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991657 to utilize symlinks to fix it. I believe CWM will be updated, if it's not already, to work for 4.2 and be backwardly compatible. Try the 6.0.1.9 release, I think that's the latest and compatible with 4.2

I am unable to find any /data/media file combo anywhere on my device. Running 4.2 stock rooted deodexed rom. I have carefully scoured all folders and files using both paid Astro and Mi Files explorers. Both set to show hidden files and folders. What am I missing? is this why my nandroid backups all fail? Titanium backups all seem to go Ok.

What version of clockworkmod? Are you rooted?

New version of TWRP will let you see your backups. You can flash it with ROM toolbox
