Seedvault

A backup application for the Android Open Source Project.

Features

Backup application data to a flash drive.
Restore application data from a flash drive.
User-friendly encryption using a mnemonic phrase (BIP39).
Automatic daily backups that run in the background.

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 requires a minimal number of permissions to achieve this.

Permissions

android.permission.BACKUP to back up application data.
android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS to retrieve the available storage roots.
android.permission.MANAGE_USB to access the serial number of USB mass storage devices.
android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS to change system backup settings.
