# Seedvault
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.com/stevesoltys/seedvault)
|
|
|
|
A backup application for the [Android Open Source Project](https://source.android.com/).
|
|
|
|
## 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](https://github.com/stevesoltys/seedvault/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.
|
|
|
|
## 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 and enable call log backup.
|
|
* `android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES` to get information about all installed apps for backup.
|
|
* `android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES` to re-install apps when restoring from backup.
