Seedvault
A backup application for the Android Open Source Project.
Features

- Restore application data from a flash drive.

- Automatic daily backups that run in the background.
Requirements

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 which is deprecated and thus needs a replacement.
