# Backup
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.com/stevesoltys/backup)
|
|
|
|
A backup application for the [Android Open Source Project](https://source.android.com/).
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- Backup application data to a zip file.
|
|
- Restore application data from a zip file.
|
|
- Password-based encryption.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
- Check out [the wiki](https://github.com/stevesoltys/backup/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.
|
|
|
