Restoring backups from SD

Question

Using Titanium Backup I backed up apps + data to the SD card and see they are still there. I flashed a new ROM. I installed TB again but am having trouble restoring the apps. It can’t find the backups, how do I change it? I went to menu > preferences > backup folder location > Storage provider > DocumentProvider storage > naviagated to correct location > pressed “select”
Then the list populates with backups but the “use the current folder” is greyed out. I can only click cancel. However if I make a new folder and navigate there, the “use the current folder” is clickable.
After clicking select the message quickly flashes “Access granted. Please create/choose subdirectory for your backups”



How do I resotre backups located on SD card? I named the folder myself so it’s not like the default. I'm on ROM that is based on Android Nougat 7.1

Answer

In order to successfully select a backup directory via the DocumentProvider storage, you should not navigate to the chosen folder immediately after choosing the abovementioned storage.



What you should do, is to navigate only to the root directory of the external SD card and then tap on Select. Next, after the Access granted popup appears, use Titanium Backup's built-in file explorer to navigate to the chosen backup directory, and then tap on Use the current folder.
