  • Anything better than "adb root" for full backups currently?

With LOS, I had always used "adb root" and a rsync script to do full incremental backups of all system and app data on my phone, but with GOS that's going to require doing a custom build. Is there any other option? I don't want apps to have root access, just a backup shell script to have full read/write access to the filesystem, either locally or over USB.

    aw22 There's an included backup service, which we plan to replace with our own better implementation within a year. There isn't an option to do what you're requesting and there won't be one. It would also be very broken to restore that data on a fresh install.

      You could use adb backup maybe? Its deprecated though which means that it could be removed in newer Android versions.

      What data will the backup service be able to access and restore? All app data?
