tried formatting and did it again. got to 100% and it failed at the end again 
recovery.log this time came out in 25mb and totally blank! lol.
going to try this again one more time.
also, is it normal for the "Unable to locate '/system' partition for backup calculations." to appear? because my TWRP doesn't seem to find a /system in my phone.

okay so i removed the extm. managed to hit 100% of the back up. says "digest created". has been like that for a couple minutes now. should i wait further or?

Yes, wait, it takes a moment.
You can also disable digest creation for backups to save time.
I think I have an idea: fat32 limits the max size of each file up to ~4gb. Those backups I think create a single zip per partition. The super partition is about 8gb, so it will probably fail. Try to reformat the drive in something else, like ext4 or exfat formats. I have a ~64gb usb drive and I ~can't backup my phone due to that issue (kinda busy to reformat it).
PS. It seems that somehow an sd I used for those backups can't be read by the twrp (normally my phone can write to it.) I might have to format that too.

darn. just bought a 64gb thumbdrive just for this. perhaps i will try to do this over USB OTG to my external hard drive instead. see how that works out!
Lol, no it probably won't work too. It will probably be formated in ntfs which isn't supported by twrp (proprietary microsoft format). Get that thumb drive you bought and reformat it in ext4 format.
alright! will try this out and see how it goes! thanks for the tip! <3

What he means is that older chinese TWRP version for Mi 10 Ultra exist, and you can also use a TWRP for Mi 10 Pro (compatible with Mi 10 Ultra).

I recommend the latest TWRP released for your device, so you currently have it. ^^
