If you have a problem you can put your questions once they have exhausted all options and read the comments of others.
In CWM Touch the backups are stored in /data/media/clockworkmod or /storage/removable/sdcard1/clockworkmod
If you only need ClockworkMod (without philz and TWRP ) you can use a MOD made ​​by @Dark Passenger (any doubt about this release or updates, please ask him), just go to this post <<---- clic here (credits for MOD to @Dark Passenger)
Bugs:

Tested All recoveries:
1. CWM works fine
2. TWRP fine
3. CWM-touch (some difficulty in navigation, but works ok)

---

is there any way .. with out installing purerome.. .for rooting ?
i dont wanna change my stock rom....

---

I tested it, but only TWRP make backup. CWM says "can't mount system". CWM touch says "backup completed", but there is no backup files on any of storages.I tested two others CWM mods and they also says "can't mount system".
Ohh, I found CWM Touch backup files. After I read log file, I saw this row -> "I:using /data/media for /sdcard/0/clockworkmod". Backup folder is in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/..
There is something wrong with filesystem table. I saw several lines that say Unable to get recovery.fstab info for: /datadata, /emmc, /sdcard, /ed-ext and /external_sd.

---

yep. this works. haven't tried backing up yet though. thanks.

---

thanks, its work.... but, why i cant mount system, its always "mount system Eror"....????
can any body help...

---

CWM shows "error in mounting system" when I try to mount system. As a result, can't take nandroid backup.
CWM Touch shows "error in unmounting system" when I try to unmount system. Though it can take backup, when I try restore, it shows error in unmounting system.
TWRP though not showing error, and seeming to backup correctly, when I try restore, it shows error in unmounting system.
In other words,
not working for me.
I'm on CE 4.3 stock, rooted, LB.

For 4.1.2 backups use CWM or TWRP, for 4.3 backups use CWM Touch.
Remember, if you restore an 4.1.2 backup you need change kernel to 4.1.2.

I tried to restore 4.3 backup in cwm touch & twrp. it showed error "unable to unmount system" after md5 verification.
I tried to restore 4.3 backup in cwm. It verified md5 and erased boot image. after that it showed error "error, can't mount system" . As a result, I got soft brick on booting.
Its as if, CWM has its "mount system" freezed. CWM & TWRP have their "unmount system" freezed

---

Same for me, can't mount /system, so it's basicaly unusable ;/

in cwm touch you need mount system and data first, if you have trouble try use advanced restore.

once you flash the custom rom yo need flash root too, once reboot need install CWM again because the recovery image are in system partition.

---

@ OP
Suppose i am on a 4.3 ROM, and i want to flash a MOD or add-on, which recovery will be compatible with 4.3?
I am on LB, so if the recovery formats system, i have a very long process to get back to where i was.

---

Currently no compatible custom recovery for LB, but there are people working on it!
We all wait!
