Backup and restore.apk works only on 2.1 (and less) androids. If you want to use it on higher android, it wont work.

no way??? :crying:
for example extract that from another xperia orginal rom like XPERA MINI??
Sorry, no way. There is no possibility to run this app on higher android - as I wrote before. It is not supported.
YOU CAN EXTRACT IT, maybe installation could work too, but you cant run it and restore your old backup...
Maybe when you use some Costum ROM based on official ROM with android 2.1
EDIT: Official infos from SE -> Not supported on 2.3+

Backup and restore of userdata
I agree in the need for a newbie-friendly backup/restore of userdata.
The official SEMC-apk sadly won't work.
This could be a newbie-friendly simple solution:

Root and backup
Download and install SuperOneClick http://shortfuse.org/
Connect the X10MP to the PC with the USB cable. Celect Charge phone.
Start SuperOneClick and click on Root. Follow instructions. If asked about your Android version is above 2.x, click Yes. Also click Yes to install Busybox.
When finished, turn off the X10MP, and then turn it on again.
Tap Market and search for "My Backup", select My Backup Root and install the app.
Start the app and allow the superuser request, and agree to some license etc.
Tap BACKUP > Data > Local.
Check the data you want to backup and tap OK. Remember the contactlist if you are an off-line person that do not sync to a Google account (now is the time to reconsider to sync it to Google).
Give the backup a name and tap OK, sit back and wait.
Did you use the Notes app, and do wish to keep those notes?
Start Market and search for GTasks and install the app.
When installed, start Notes app. Tap on a note you wish to keep. Longtap on the note (put your finger on the screen and hold it), select Copy all in the popup menu.
Exit Notes and start GTasks. Tap on the plus to add a new task. Longtap in the text field and select Paste in the popup menu, and then tap on Done.
Exit GTasks and repeat for all your notes. When finished, tap Syncronize in GTasks.
All your kopied notes are now available in Google Tasks, and are accessible from any app that accesses the Google Tasks.
If you are an offline-person who don't want to sync online, I can recoment Just Notepad for Android to save all your Notes as simple txt-files. Just follow the copy-paste-instruction from above. Tap the small SD-card icon to save each note as a normal txt-file on the SD-card.
Here you install your new custom ROM
Restore data
If you have your contacts synced to a Google account, tap Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account > Google > Next > Sign in. Wait for your account to sync the contactlist and calandar.
If you are an off-line person, and backed up your contacts etc. using My Backup Root or backed up call log, SMS and MMS, tap Market (and log into your Google acount) and search for "My Backup", select My Backup Root and install the app.
Start the app and allow the superuser request, and agree to some license etc. Tap RESTORE > Data > Local.
Select the data file, and check the data to restore. Sit back and wait.
!!! Do not restore contacts if you also restored from your Google Account !!!

I'd like to flash a new rom, is there any way to backup all my installed apps (including the ones I paid for) so that after I flash the rom, I can get them back? I don't mind if I lose their settings, I just don't want to have to go back to the Market and manually download each one again. Thanks.
you should try appmanager (search the market)
you can back up most your installed app on your SD card
then you just have to re-install all the apk files...
but the best way I found is to use appbrain: it allows you sync all your apps on the appbrain website, and you can create custom lists of apps as backups...
check appbrain website for more details
Astro File manager, it includes an App backup function, and it's free:
search for it on Android Market
OR
Spritesoftware Android Backup, it is ONE U$D only:
http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/android
Here is a link to Astro:
http://www.androidfreeware.org/download/astro-file-manager-2.2.4
Titanium Backup.
- It does BATCH backup and restore of all your apps (including the paid ones), along with all their corresponding data and settings...It can even do this in the background (with updates in the notification bar).
The donate version ($4 minimum) gets you Hypershell, which makes everything that TB does about 2x faster (or more).
I've got the Nexus One and between Modaco's Desire ROM updates and CyanogenMod-5 ROM updates, I switch back and forth all the time. TB makes the whole process a heck of a lot easier. HIGHLY recommended.

Thanks, I installed Astro and it backed up most of my apps, but it didn't let me backup a few of them (it said "private" and wouldn't let me check them off to back them up) and it wouldn't backup any of the paid apps. So I might try Titanium Backup instead like Namuna suggested.

Does appbrain let you backup paid apps, and apps you've already installed prior to using appbrain?
You cannot backup private applications. It's a security thing.
I use ASTRO for backing up applications and vCardIO for contacts.

No, and Titanium Backup backs up paid apps, free apps, backs up all of the settings and backs up the market links so when you restore them, you can still get updates.
Best app for the job by far, the free version works great but I highly suggest donating. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
As for paid apps, they actually are linked to you account so you don't need to back them up, they appear in your downloads list in the market when you sync to your Google account without you doing anything
I'm really embarrassed to ask such a noob question, but my N1 isn't currently rooted. I'd like to root it to have OpenVPN functionality. I work with computers, understand that rooting breaks some of the security and have read several guides.
Anyway, how do I back up? Everywhere I read things like "Use Titanium backup, you must have root access on your phone for this."
What I want to do is to back up my settings, and back up any license keys for apps that I have. (Do I need to do that?)
Also, from what I'd read, its a good idea to backup the pre-installed google apps prior to rooting. How do I do that?
And how about my contacts, sms messages etc?
I have read that Astro was useful for backing up apps. I already had Astro so I backed up all my apps, I'm just not sure if that's the same sort of backup as needed in this case.
It must be a stupid question but I don't see an answer out there.
Thanks.

I said that I'd already backed up my apps with Astro (although I did wonder where the backup had been stored).
Thanks for the Spritesoftware Backup tip though, looks useful.
I've read that the licenses are associated with the google account rather than being files stored on the phone so that should not be a problem.
And I think that the google apps can now be redownloaded but I'll check on that.
Thanks again
U may also use AppMonster Pro - it makes backups for all the software installed, and also when upgrading to a newer version.
you can use "estrong' file explorer ,and it is free
MyBackUp Pro
I use MyBackUp Pro as it two different back up options and allows you to backup to SD or Cloud:
1) Apps; Apps+data --> allows you to backup most of your paid apps too.
2) Data (includes the home screen).
Can tick all to restore all, or you can include individual items.
Then when restoring after a wipe, restore apps first, then Data, so that your home screen restoration works (if you do it the other way the widgets will not load as there isn't an app installed yet).
There used to be a free version which was the full version yet limited to 30 days - check the market.

So does that also include mp3s and documents? I've got a bunch of stuff on my kindle fire, but I don't want to lose some of the music I have. I've backed it up on my computer, but I'm not sure where to get some of the things I use.
Ok, I have finally convinced my wife to let me play with her vibrant. I plan on rooting it tonight but before I put the new ROM on her phone she wants me to try to backup her apps. She does not want to lose all of her data for her current apps. Stock 2.2 is always freezing or messing up on her and she is getting really annoyed!
My question is this, in order for me to move everything over (app and data) is there a step by step guide for Titanium Backup so I can do this properly?
(When I did it to my phone, I screwed up and lost everything on my vibrant and I don't want to do this again.)
I know with MIUI it has a backup feature which is awesome and this is more than likely what I will put on her phone.
Please help!
Thanks in advance
It is pretty simple really. In Titanium just hit batch and backup all apps plus data. You can also choose to save the backup on external micro sdcard just in case.
When I did that last time it wouldn't put everything back I guess I don't understand the process

What exactly did it not restore? Hit menu and batch and you can see what apps you are going to back up. Similarly when you are restoring you can see the list and it also gives you option to restore the app + data or just the apps. Just make sure after making a backup that you have backed up every app that you wanted.
It shows you everything in batch menu screen.

Only one other suggestion I have is do not back up system apps. Restoring system apps + data doesn't work nicely with one ROM to another. Just use backup user apps menu.

When you do backups, the data is also included.
When you restore apps later, choose data+app.

If you are going to MIUI, use Titanium Backup sparingly. Do not restore any system (red) apps and do not restore apps offered in the ROM. When I first went to MIUI, I restored my apps one at a time rather than use restore all apps. I didn't have an issue nor did I lose any data. Also, do a nandroid backup and I would backup all the files on the phone to your computer. This way you can move the apps to the system/app folder if things go south. I hope she enjoys MIUI, I do.
How do I move the files to the computer?? What folder is it located in? Do i need to download root explorer for this...I have to completely redo her entire phone and I plan on wiping everything and starting from scratch, I believe somehow someway something was messed up and Miui did not install properly. I want to start her over from scratch like a brand new vibrant off the showroom floor.
Hook your phone up to your PC and pull off the folder called TitaniumBackup and put it on you desktop. Once you "clean" your phone, you can put all that back on your SDcard. Pretty easy really.
titanium backup has a dropbox option now which backs everything up to your dropbox.
and unless she's using google voice, she's going to lost her text messages. similarly with call history. contacts and wifi stuff should be backed up with the google account. so, like the picture posted above, just 'backup all user apps' then after flashing the new rom 'restore all apps with data'.
Backup and restore problem Titanum Backup 8.4.0.2 PRO / Galaxy S9 Plus
Hi
I have used TB 2-3 yrs ago and it wask ok..not many problems.
No I have a problem with all backup jobs I make..all of them not are marked with these smilies but ? ( I guess smilies means OK and no error backup and "?" means some error/missing in backup
And; when I restore a OLD backup With smilies, after the restore the smilies is away/missing and this "?" have apper instead of the smilies, so it seems that TB destroy the old OK backup after it is restored.
Can this error be a fail in options? Something I have to set in options for get it to work?
Hope for answerd ( and hope this quest is posted in correct group. If not, pls tell me

Keep in mind this is experimental and not exactly publicized as a feature of ICS, so don't count on this as your only method of backup!
This guide assumes you have already installed the Android SDK, and updated the Android SDK Platform Tools to the latest version (currently Rev 10) using the SDK Manager.
1. Connect your device via USB, and open a command prompt.
2. Optionally, type the command 'adb devices' to ensure that your device is properly recognized. If you're comfortable with ADB already, just skip this.
There is a command, 'adb backup' (to be detailed shortly), that will now allow you to create a full system backup.
The command parameters format is:
The most basic command you can use* is simply:
This will use the defaults to backup only app and device data (not the APKs themselves) to the current directory as 'backup.ab'
* This may not work for every setup. If you get an error such as "adb: cannot open file ./backup.ab", use:
Or substitute the path of your choice in place of C:\.
To explain the parameters:
Use this to choose where the backup file will be stored, e.g. '-f /backup/mybackup.ab', which will save it at the root of your drive (C:\ for Windows, etc.) in a folder called backup, as a file named 'mybackup.ab'. I recommend using this flag to set a location manually, as with my first backup test, it said that it completed successfully, but I was unable to locate the backup file. I have no idea where it was saved, but it wasn't where it should have been located.
This flags whether or not the APKs should be included in the backup or just the apps' respective data. I personally use -apk just in case the app isn't available in the Market, so that I don't have to go hunt it down again. The default is -noapk.
This flag is used to "enable/disable backup of the device's shared storage / SD card contents; the default is noshared.", which for the Nexus I would certainly flag to -shared, but from my test, it did not restore all of the contents of my internal storage, so I recommend backing up music, pictures, video, and other internal storage items manually, just to be on the safe side. The default is -noshared.
This flag is just an easy way to say to backup ALL apps. The packages flag (further on) can be used to choose individual packages, but unless you're just wanting to backup a specific application, use -all for a full system backup.
This flag sets whether or not the -all flag also includes system applications or not. I used -system, but this is probably unnecessary, and I would almost guess that it is safer to use -nosystem, but use your own judgment on this. The default is -system.
Here you can list the package names (e.g. com.google.android.apps.plus) specifically that you would like to backup. Use this only if you're looking to backup a specific application.
3. Once you've made your decision on how to perform the backup, simply type the command as you would like it; in my case, this is the command that I used:
4. You will see a screen like the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Enter a password (if desired) for encryption of the backup file. RETAIN THIS PASSWORD FOR RESTORING LATER.
6. This process will take several minutes to complete, depending on the settings you've chosen, but when completed, you will get a toast on-screen saying 'Backup Complete', or if you miss that, you'll know once your phone returns to the home screen.
7. Now go unlock your bootloader (not going to go into the process for this guide, but you probably know how already, and if not, there are several guides a search away).
8. Once you're booted back into Android, you can choose to add your account now, or skip that for later. I skipped it for later, but I think it might make the process more smooth to sign in before the restore. YMMV.
9. To restore, with your device connected open your command prompt again, and type:
replacing 'C:\backup20111230.ab' with the location of your backup file.
10. You will see a screen like the one below:
11. Simply type in your current encryption password (if you've set one), and the password with which the backup was encrypted (if you chose to set a password), and the restore will begin. It again will take several minutes depending on the size of the backup and the options chosen.
12. You're back to normal, short of possibly some widgets on the home screen. My wallpaper was even restored, my app folders remained just as I had them before, my alarms remained, and for most applications, I didn't even have to log back in; it kept everything.
________________________
NOTE: There seems to be a bug in which backup and restore operations will fail unless a desktop backup password is set under Developer Options. It will not work with a blank password.But no harm in trying

I found the original post, made a full backup using
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f filename
it made a backup of about 1.2gb which I tried restoring. It hung on restoring uk.co.7digital. Well I assume it hung, no movement in 30minutes and I could not see any file access to the backup on my pc. I killed it. It had restored my apps ok, but rosie was completely blank, just the apps button, I didnt investigate any further as to whether contacts, app data etc were there, I just did a factory reset thinking some things may be in an inconsistent state

Hello everyone,
I'm using several non-root samsung devices (S8, S9, S10, S20) and I've been removing everything google related. On purpose, I've removed many features/services (NFS, GPS, etc) and I only want them to act as normal phones. I also test them to see how they behave when connected to a wifi, to see if they try to connect to a remote system. Based on my limited testing, the phones use amazon AWS to get version information for samsung updates.
Unfortunately, the S10 and S20 also constantly connect to google at
172.217.169.164:443
216.58.206.163:80
But I can't figure out which packages are to blame. So far, I've uninstalled everything related to google (framework, play store, services, apps, etc). Anyone knows how to figure out which apps are trying to communicate to google?
Thank you.
PS:
here is my blacklist, in case anyone wants to take a look:
https://gitlab.com/samcleaner/samcleaner/-/blob/master/assets/blacklist.json
I have reason to believe that the package "com.sem.factoryapp" is the one constantly accessing 172.217.x.x.
Still not sure about the other IP address, but if pointed to by a browser it comes up with google.com search page.
Hi mate , in my case I installed netguard to block the Google stuff from accessing the internet,,,
I have a question since you published this script you may have some knowledge about adb :
Can we backup a non rooted phone's settings using ADB ?
I want to backup all my settings in the settings app, and the debloated apps as well, because it's a real hassle to go all over from the start if we reset the phone.

@Maybeyou using recovery mode, you can backup user data, it backup all your apps, 2FA apps, settings, etc.. even sd card encryption key in case it's encrypted or you use the extended internal memory option using sd card on android 6
it will generate several high size files on your sd card, and you'll be able to restore you data using the restore function
next time, open your own thread though.

Of course you can backup a phone by means of ADB: this has the advantage the backup gets stored on your PC's disk space - you define the location., whereas Android's stock recovery allows you to backup the phone only to a SDHC-card inserted what must have a storage capacity of >= phone's internal storage size.

Sorry bro for asking my question here in your thread, I still don't know how to backup settings and the debloated apps :
In the non rooted Samsung with android 9 stock recovery, there's "apply update from adb" options and it says " adb sideload" when selected , but I don't know what to do from adb on PC, and another option " apply update from sd card" . Is that what you referring to by using recovery? Can you show me how to proceed please

Is there any solution for that deprecated command ?
Hello there!
I just recently wanted to switch from my old Huawei P20 to a Samsung S10. I went through the whole setup with Smart Switch during initial startup etc. and assumed that this would also transfer app data, WiFi passwords, etc., but it doesn't! This is an exclusive feature of the Google One backup!
Sadly, during the whole file transfer process from old to new, I wasn't notified of the fact that I had never actually run a Google One backup on my old Huawei P20. It just transferred all apps and pictures etc., but never any app data and all that important stuff!
Now, I did a lot of complex things to my new Samsung phone (such as rooting) and I would not wish to repeat all of that!
How can I restore a Google One Backup even without being in the initialization process?
According to Google:
When you add your Google Account to a phone that's been set up, what you'd previously backed up for that Google Account gets put onto the phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do not believe that. I made the backup from my old Huawei P20 a while ago, my new Samsung S10 hasn't adjusted anything. The Google One App also doesn't show any known backups, which makes sense as these are entirely different devices.
Now, my whole goal is to simply transfer the data from my old Android phone (Huawei P20) to my new Android phone (Samsung S10). The Huawei P20 is not rooted, the Samsung S10 is rooted. I have made backups using Huawei's own software of the phone, which I do believe includes app data, but I have not yet found a way to restore a Huawei backup on a Samsung phone.
The USB-C port of my Huawei / old phone is broken, so it can be charged, but no data can be transferred, hence not even Titanium Backup, Helium, or oandbackup which could backup app data through USB debugging and a computer, would work.

This is a lie! This has never happened to me. My new phone simply claims there has never been a backup.

To restore a previous phone’s backup to a new phone, you need the PIN, password, or pattern for your lock screen.
After resetting your phone, tap Start. Follow the on-screen steps.
Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network.
When you see "Copy apps & data," tap Next > Can't use old phone.
Under "Copy another way," tap OK > A backup from the cloud.
Sign into the Google Account that has the backup of your data.
Follow the on-screen steps.
Strongly agree! However, your phone needs to be rooted for this which my Huawei P20 sadly isn't! For the future, these options, as well as Neo Backup, will be super helpful to transfer my data!

Good idea! Sadly, only possible when resetting my phone and doing everything again, which I will sadly now do. Wish me luck, folks!
