Exclude key-value backup apps for now
We do this as a temporary fix, because our backup methods are not called
which are updating the package counter. So our mechanism to find out
about the end of the backup is broken. Excluding key-value backups fixes
it for now.

Backup

Build Status

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.

Contributing

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/stevesoltys/backup.

Permissions

  • android.permission.BACKUP to be allowed to back up apps
  • android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED to schedule automatic backups after boot
