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.
