I am rooted. There is no option in the recovery to "backup".
Any apps that will do a full-backup for me?
- KrossXC
Give it a day or two we'll have custom recoveries allowing full backups. All the apps in the market will back up data but not the actual stock system apps.

Titanium Backup is able to backup ALL applications and data, EVEN SYSTEM apps and data.
Titanium Backup for apps/data and My Backup Pro for texts, contacts, data will get almost all data that can be saved on the phone.
It isn't a FULL BACKUP such as a Nandroid Backup, but is the closest thing we got so far.

From their website
"NOTE: It will not backup the system applications from your ROM. Only their settings will be backed up"
Backup? Simple...
Code:
cd backups\system
adb pull /system
cd ..\data

I haven't used adb. A few questions.
I'm a developer, so I'm not too worried about technical things and command line, but are there any downsides (performance, instability) to running the adb daemon on the phone? Is it just a background service that doesn't get in the way of anything? Is it "ok" to be running the development daemon on a "production" device?
Does the device need to be "rooted?"
Thanks-
Jason

Looking for a good app that will backup the entire phone without root? What's all the US S7 users doing right now?
take backup with ADB
Code:
adb backup -all -apk -shared
and to restore
Code:
adb restore <path to the backup>
Don't forget to enable USB debugging on the phone
if you want is an application, i think no app that can backup user data.. because of permission denied.. but if you want to root it, i ever use titanium backup and it is good

this backs up = apps + data + shared (internal memory content)
it's not what you asked for because it's not an app but it does the job without root and that's the only way to do this without root
you need adb and the backup will be saved on your pc

So this is basically a full image backup similar to what I would get with TWRP?
I recommend taking a look into helium.
It allows you to choose and backup apps and the appdata and transfer it to another device without root. There are a few system apps it won't backup, but it did wonders for me coming from my rooted N5 to this GS7.

No it's not full image like what we get with TWRP it's a file "backup.ab" and you can choose what to backup this is a thread that explaines everything better :good:

I don't mean it's the SAME backup as TWRP in which I can use TWRP to restore.. but it backs up the entire image the same way TWRP or CWM does.
It's like I can use Norton Ghost or Clonezilla (like TWRP or CWM) or I can use dd on Linux (like ADB). They'd all (essentially) create an image of the entire drive, software, settings, partition table, MBR/GPT, etc etc just using different filetypes.
Anyway, thanks for the link. I'll read through it and it should answer my question hopefully.

No it's not the same it doesn't backup the entire image of the drive just (apks of installed applications and there data) + (system apps data including settings) + (shared that includes all the internal storage) that's it not including even apk of system or system image entirely it doesn't backup boot and the other partitions

ADB 0 byte backup file
I have some problem with ADB. It worked for me perfectly with my Galaxy S4 (5.0.1) but it doesn't with my Galaxy S7 (6.0).
I can restore my old .ab files what I created with my S4 but I can't do any backup file with my S7. Why is it so?
ADB find the phone, I have access. I tried with TotalCommander plugin and it is the same. Any idea?

Why dont you use Samsung's Smart Switch? It backups about everything and restores it too! It's easy to use. Just download the PC version

ADB 0 byte backup file
I know this program. But this isn't save all of the data of the programs/games. I tried a lot of possibilty for example Titanium Backup, Helium etc. (with root) but these programs aren't the best. Look for example Traffic Racer, my son loves that game and these programs couldn't save the data of the game, I know that there is cloud saving in the game but I had an error (can't access in google play or something like that and couldn't save the game). But with ADB it saved perfectly like the other games/programs. I know a lot of program for this fact but I need fix ADB and figure out why is it don't work. I don't know why is it making 0 byte .ab files..

Did it backup ALL App data (logins, settings, etc)? I've used SmartSwitch to move from my S5 to S7e (3 times - trying 3 different firmware) and it NEVER moved over app data/settings, Wifi pw's, etc.
The only think it properly moved was sms, apps that were in Google Play (not side-loaded apps) and email/account logins.

Hi!
So now I feel like a real n00b...
My G930F has lost all red color in the display. Calling Samsung, they say 'factory reset' then call again.
They said 'Smart Switch' was the tool to use for backup.
After a whole day trying to get the rickety, moronic abortion of a program to run more than 3 minutes...
I came here.
Enabled USB debugging.
Opened an elevated cmd in //AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools
and input 'adb backup -all -apk -shared'
I'm told to go to my phone and affirm this- I do.
Back at the PC I'm looking at a blinking cursor after //AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools
Does anyone know if this is possible? I've had my phone for a couple weeks and want to root but don't really want to reinstall and setup everything again. If not, can someone point me to a reliable non-root full backup option?
TIA!
no. oem unlock is needed first and that pre-step is the bad boy that does the wipe.

Google is your backup option. It can restore settings, apps and data. Just restore from cloud. You need root to have a perfect backup.

Well, to backup apps and data in the OS, like OP wants before unlocking bootloader.
I did this with titanium backup on my previous phone to go from non-root to root and worked like a charm.
I can't post a link to the url...anywhay search for titanium backup non-root and you will see how to make a backup that can later be restored with titanium.
1. How to make your first backup WITHOUT root:
Before beginning, you need to setup your ADB and have your device detected. You must also running Android version 4.0 and above. Also, make sure you have a file manager installed. Our favorite is the ES File Explorer.
Connect your device and make sure its listed with the following command:
adb devices
Run a FULL backup with the following command:
adb backup -f FullBackup.ab -apk -all
This will create a “package” called “FullBackup.ab” on the current location in your command prompt. This is your backup package.
Now you can root your phone.
Once finished rooting, insert the “FullBackup.ab” package on your sdcard
Hit the menu button and look for “Extract from ADB backup” option. This will prompt you to search for the file. Use the file manager that you installed earlier and navigate to the directory and select the FullBackup.ab file.
Now restore like as if the backup was made with Titanium Backup. Don’t forget to make a fresh copy of the backup using Titanium Backup. You’re Done!

I've been using swift backup for the last 5 years or so and I'm damn tired of making the backup, coping it to my pc, do whatever I have to do on my phone, set up my gaccount back, install swift, login, copy the backup back and wait to restore it.
I just want a tool that allows me to connect my phone to my pc via USB, launch it and get my backup directly on my pc ready for restoring it in a second moment on my phone without waste of time or stupid accounts and stuff
I don't mind if it's via ADB, fastboot or whatever, I just want something simple that does just that and that is able to backup everything, all apps+ data
I know that ADB has a backup command, but that isn't able to backup all the apps and that's a big no for me
ps I'm a root user and I run Linux on my pc if those infos are helpful
am I asking too much maybe?
thank for your help!

yeah, there is a flag for that in the androidmanifest.xml

AFAIK since Android 6 the flag allowBackup by default is always set to true, unless app's developer for whatever reason sets it to false.

I'm trying to restore an app's data using adb restore. A weird thing is that it works on my A12 phone but it fails on my ATV9 TV box. After restoring, ATV9's app data is reset. Why does it fail???

If it is a system app, you can't backup or restore its' data via adb without root.
If it is a user installed app, you should be able to backup and restore user app data via adb.

The same app was installed from a normal apk. I think it is the same normal user app on the both devices.

I want to add some new files into "app/f" in the adb backup file.
I'm looking for an app that will allow me to back up the entire contents of my phone to one single .zip file which I could then flash back if needed. It would be best if there was an app that could transfer the backup to my computer where I would store the individual backups. I should add that I have root access, but even so, I haven't found any application that backs up the entire system to a single file. I don't have a custom recovery, only the stock one. Is there any app for that? Ideally for Windows, where I would connect the phone with a cable and perform the backup setup from there.

What are "the entire contents of your phone"? All partitions + personal data, apps and so on?
Oh yes, exactly. For a case like system update potentially messing up the device - (oh, I just realized that if my device would softbricked i would need to restore that image or zip file through the recovery anyway), so i guess without a custom recovery this isn't doable right?

As long as no custom ROM gets installed you only need a backup of your data. The remaining images are part of your firmware.
Without a custom recovery like TWRP you can backup your data only during the running system. Your stock recovery can't access /data as a filesystem, because it's not mounted. Also an entire image of that partition wouldn't be possible.
Now I learned something. Thank you. That'll do. Titanium Backup it is then.

Titanium Backup is outdated, I suggest NeoBackup (open source) or Swift Backup (closed source, you can't decrypt the backup on your own).
Thanks again!

It doesn't make any sense to encrypt MY own data. Swift Backup gets access to the data by Magisk and that's me. I don't need an app that makes my own data inaccessible for me without any reason.

That's the reason why I gave NeoBackup as an alternative, although it doesn't have all the features of Swift Backup like restoring SSAIDs.
