Hi, I'm trying to backup apps for a test prior to rooting.
I'm running Oxygen 10 on a OnePlus 6 and using an Ubuntu computer.
Using this :-
adb backup -f /home/richard/backup.adb -all -apk -nosystem
It runs ok, get phone screen to authorize backup which I do, backup finishes but backup file is empty.
Help much appreciated.

In the aim of disabling encryption on my stock Nexus 5 I had to wipe the device. To not lose my data I researched backups and I came across the ADB method. I did several updates using different commands as I was never sure if the backup completed. The command did return however (i.e. the cursor appeared on CMD).
I ran the following:
Code:
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\backup\backup.ab
Code:
adb backup -apk -shared -all -nosystem -f C:\backup\backup.ab
The end result is me having 4 backup files in the 2.8GB to 2.9GB range.
After trying ADB restore on two of them, most of my applications are not restored. I can live with that, but I would prefer if there is a way to restore my whatsapp data.
To try and diagnose the problem ibought Titanium Backup Pro to use their Extract from ADB backup option. That way I could tell what applications made it through. I unpacked then repacked the .ab file to remove the encryption by following this guide. Once I put the .ab on my phone, Titanium Backup said the backup file isn't supported.
Any thoughts ? I'm working on Windows 10 but I also dual boot with Ubuntu.

Hello,
when I try to backup my Skype files (chat, messages,...) via ADB, I try this:
Code:
adb backup -noapk -f Skype.ab com.raider.skype
It will generate a 0 Byte Skype.ab file.
When I try this:
Code:
adb backup -all
It will backup some appdata like from Teamviewer.
My question:
How can I backup / save the Skype data via ADB?
My device is a Nexus 5 with Android 6 stock rom without root.
I hope someone can help me.

I'm running Carbon 3.1, which I very much like. Still, I'd like to try omnirom and perhaps RR, both of which require a wipe. How do I back up and restore my data with fastboot or adb? I don't user twrp (doesn't play well with aosp). Phone is rooted, stock emui 8 recovery. I don't want to restore system, just my apps.
the right command to backup your app and data should be this one:
backup: adb backup -apk -shared -all -f backup-file.adb
restore: adb restore backup-file.adb
info:
options are
apk – Backs up your apps.
noapk – Does not backup apps.
shared – Backs up data on the SD card.
noshared – Does not backup data on the SD card.
hope this suggestion could help
but there are several apps around there which can do that for you without connecting to a pc.
(MyPhoneExplorer; TitaniumBackup; Helium App sync; aso...)
I have titanium, but I've encountered problems on restore.
It took me several tries but
backup -apk -noshared -all -f c:\backup-file.adb
eventually worked. Hard to find the file as it appeared in something called "Virtual Store" (that is, the path provided was disregarded) but that acted like a normal folder once I found it.
Hi,
I've had issues with my phone and tried to use the ADB tool to backup and restore my files. The backup went ok, I created the file, but when I try a restoration, with both a pc back password and the encryption password correctly entered, I get nothing at the end of the restoration process. I can see the apk extensions being mentioned in the progress bar but when it's done, nothing has changed on the phone.
I've used those two lines of code in order to do so:
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\Asus\Downloads\tools\platform-tools/backup.ab
adb restore C:\Users\Asus\Downloads\tools\platform-tools/backup.ab
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
