Backup
A backup application for the Android Open Source Project.
Features
- Backup application data to a zip file.
- Restore application data from a zip file.
- Password-based encryption.
Getting Started
- Check out the wiki for information on building the application with AOSP.
What makes this different?
This application is compiled with the operating system and does not require a rooted device for use. It uses the same
internal APIs as adb backup
and only requires the permission android.permission.BACKUP
for this.
