A backup application for the Android Open Source Project.
Outside of SetupWizard restore, we don't offer to set up an account, because we don't know if one already exists and the app was locked with a passcode. |

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.
Requirements
- Android 10
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 which is deprecated and thus needs a replacement.
