It's been more then 6 months, and the developers behind titanium backup still have not excluded media storage from being backed up in android 11.
When you try to back it up, it never completes. If you force close titanium backup, and try to open it again, it never finishes opening. And you gotta reboot your phone so you can open titanium backup again.
This is a known problem and because of this, I can't use the schedule task that backups up newly installed and updated apps as it doesn't use the filter I've set to exclude media storage, and tries to back it up.
This was mentioned first on here in September 2020:
Titanium Backup - Android 11
Has anyone else tried backing up all the new "apps" with TB? I installed my wife's P3 (upgrade with flash-all minus -w) and have no issues at all except that media storage "app" will not backup. It never moves and even after 30 minutes of...
forum.xda-developers.com
And here are the changes made to android 11 that seem to cause this:
Storage updates in Android 11 | Android Developers
developer.android.com
It's unbelievable that an update to exclude media storage on android 11 automatically has not been released by the titanium backup developers.
And yes, I did purchase the pro version.
Agree, many of us have the TB Pro and haven't seen an update in ages from them!
Is there an valid alternative to titanium backup pro?
Which is still actively maintained?
That's strange, because it works for me: I have made a label, added all the apps to it except Media Storage 11 and created a scheduled backup adding this label, and the backup procedure will correctly ignore Media Storage and skip it.
The only drawback is that you have to modify the label adding newly installed apps to the list whenever you install a new app on the phone.
Btw: I switched to Swift Backup Premium and am very satisfied with it.
Try this
Copy TitaniumBackup folder on root of storage →
In Titanium → menu → preference → backup folder location → select Storage provider file system (click here) → selectDocumenProvide storage → it will open file explorer, set root of Int storage - and then select allow.
Now click on "detect" and select that showing backup location.

Any updates on this issue since June? Did the one workaround of copying the folder to the root do anything?
Starting to feel like TiBa has been neglected. Found this thread on Google and was disappointed to see that nothing happened since it got posted.

Hi @DBuffon Could you give a little more detail on how to create a 'Label'? did you mean to create a new Filter and unselect Media Storage 11? I've been experiencing those 'hangs' on LOS 18.1 (Android 11) where schedules which worked fine in TB now hang on 'Media Storage 11'. I just made a new Label with everything but Media Storage and I will see how it goes.

Same here, I've been a loyal Titanium Backup supporter since its beginning many many years ago like way back to when Android was still 2.x version.
TB has evolved into a must have tool ever since to migrate from phone to phone, it's too bad it has been neglected since the last few version of Android OS.

So far so good, I'm liking it for the simplicity, but it leaves much to be desired coming from TB Pro, using OAndBackupX is like a major downgrade

Not sure what you mean by "root that app is handled with." Canary Magisk is the only root that works on 11, and I wasn't even on the beta 11.
Hello,
ran into the same problem and didn't want to abandon TB.
The filter discussion led me to a working solution (on LOS 18.1):
1) Menu-Filter: on the bottom create a new Label and only add Media storage 11.
2) Check reverse/exclude labels
3) Save filter
4) Edit your schedule task and select the filter created above.
Works like a charm for me...
Good luck

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. Doing the scheduled task it still starts on backing up 0% Media Storage 11 :/

If it really _starts_ with backing up Media Storage, then maybe you missed point 2? Did you reverse the newly created label? (Medienspeicher11 only labels/contains Media Storage 11)

It works! You need to save filter too lol.
Why would you still want to backup with Titanium on Android >=11 anyways? I just had a full loss of my data partition and restoring with Titanium on Android 11 was a nightmare: Maybe for a third of the apps it still works like in the old days, but for another third data restore doesn't work and you have to reconfigure everything again. Even worse, for the last third, the apps don't even start, for many of them clearing data didn't work, they still wouldn't start. I had to completely uninstall und reinstall them.
Bottom line was: It would have cost me less time to just reinstall everything manually. And TB was not able to restore much of the settings (like user accounts, BT connections etc), but that has been the case for quite a while.

thx!
thx for making this!
til now i was using super backup (additionally to titanium backup), but since your app offers some useful additions i really like (backup of system settings, user dictionary and browser history and backup to the cloud for example), i just installed your app a few moments ago to give it a try.
does it backup stuff "only" for stock apps or for third party stuff like swype as keyboard or naked browser as browser, too? if not, do you plan to integrate such feature? it probably wouldn't even need big changes or additions (depending on the app to backup) to enhance your app with this, cause in most cases the only thing different is the place where the data (the .db, the .xml or whatever) is stored.
as always, just my thoughts though.
thx again and keep up the good work!
greetz,
sUsH667
I tested it on stock apps only if Naked Browser or Swype are using own providers, the app will not see their data.
Please make a backup of bookmarks and user dictionary, go to restore tab and tap the magnifier icon.
App will display preview and you will see exactly what was backed-up.
New version is available in play added:
- calendar events backup
- options for advanced users (delete backup, change app directory)
New version: added APNs (restore don't work on android 4.x)
Hi there. This seems like a nice app but playstore says it's incompatible with my HTC desire running CM7.
¿Is this app supposed to run on Gingerbread? ¿Does it support Cyanogenmod settings?
Even if it does not, thanks for writting this app and posting it for free.
what means system settings?
Re: [APP][2.2+][FREE] Backup Your Mobile
I get a force close every time it gets past the bookmarks bit. I'm on the latest Jellybean ota update.
It makes no mention, so I'm assuming you don't need root?
Great ideas though.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for this great application!
What a great idea.
I think something like this is very useful, and too often people use apps like Titanium Backup which allow sometimes what I feel is TOO much to be restored.
This seems like a great balance of what's desired by many and what's practical and safe to restore from rom to rom.
My one very small suggestion for now, which is not necessary, especially for a FREE app, but maybe a little reworking of the UI.
I would be happy to help with that if help was wanted/needed at all.
I just think there could be a little more visual balance and some updated icons, etc,..
If this isn't a concern or something you already had planned, then disregard this part of my post.
What I was thinking to balance things out a bit more, and this is just a quick throw together in photoshop, was something like this:
Check boxes moved over to the right side, like most menus in ICS/JB.
Though I was saying, maybe update the icons a little, make the check boxes smaller, like in ICS/JB, so the check mark is actually bigger then the box it rests in.
Something like this with smaller boxes and updated icons, or the same icons even, maybe just retouched a little..
Again, if this was already planned or not a concern, then disregard.
Thanks again for your efforts on this.
Do you have any issues with this being cooked into roms?
(with credits given of course)
great app. hope one day we will have user apps+data backup option too.

2nd that request.
Could you please elaborate on what system settings are backed up. If I'm moving from say a ICS to JB rom I don't want to move anything over that may make the new rom unstable.
Should make a good replacement for G Cloud.
Will try it alongside Carbon until app data backup is included.

nandroid = backing up the system as image
titanium backup = backing up apps with its data
Backup your mobile = backing up personal data
for me it makes perfect sense as each product does different things (although titanium backup can also backup sms and call logs, but its not that easy to use)

@cookpass, gamepro602 there is problem with APNs on last JellyBean, because google change security settings, please update to last version and try again
@santod040 I will take look at your suggestions later, so far I'm struggling with bugfixing and app stabilizing, unfortunately due to errors in android by phone manufactures, google politics of not informing developers about their security changes and of course my few mistakes I'm very busy with code
@albsat apps + data are on TODO list
@ItBankRock rather not if you want to install app run backup and check backup file it is in zip format (all pictures are stored as separate files in zip)
@pnsdhrn you must buy Titanium Pro to backup to Dropbox or Google Drive
@Guantonio moving from ICS to JB shouldn't be very risky, in case of any problems if your device is rooted it's jest a question of another factory reset and rom instalation
@cez10 surely it will be
@georgiejr android api gives back external memory location which can be internal depends on phone I will work more on this option in future
@Renz29 maybe in future
@moviecut thanks for great apps comparision

Hey man don't give up on the development what you done here is good it is just hard to compete with the other backup apps available. You could add a couple more features like being able to put your apps and data in a flashable zip, or utilize a basic file manager inside the current app.
But don't give up like @Razor! said this is still very new. Keep up the good work the word will get around soon.

I have just given it a quick go, how do you know if it is just backing up the apk or the apk + data for the app??
Other than that the app looks good. I will try it out more when i get more time.

Great UI for the app. Would be a shame if you give up on the development.
Couple of suggestions:
1. Implement an option to automate backups to a folder on LAN.
2. Implement an option to backup to external SD card.

Interesting app. I'm going to test it on a rooted ICS 4.0.3 and a stock 4.3 device. Was also going to try it on a Nexus 7 tablet but its coming up not compatible, might try it anyway.

I agree with the guys above, I myself can relate in that same boat. I just released my first app last week and barely have 12-20 downloads on the free one. The PRO one i havent even sold one copy yet. Anyways like the guys above, what you have done here is amazing. Looks nice i love the UI and the icon is beautiful. Its just super hard to compete now a days unless you provide some sort of different feature or invent some nice feature that others will be amazed on using. I see you have your PRO key for free for a limited amount of time which is a good exposure tactic but I wouldnt leave it like that too long.
Just do this:
-Come up with something unique
-stands out from the rest
-make it as simple as you can.
You will get people jumping right on it.
Also spread the word about your application and dont be afraid to ask for suggestions.

Just got an N5. My first smartphone although I have an N7. I'm trying to move my user apps and app data from the N7 to the N5 but the process is failing. I can't find good instructions that don't assume you are restoring to the same device or assume you have an SD card you can move between devices. I've checked threads here and can't find anything.
N7 3G (2012), Android 4.2.1 Unlocked, rooted, stock ROM
N5 Android 4.4.2 Unlocked, rooted, stock ROM
Titanium backup is installed on both. N7 does TB backups and syncs to Google drive.
I created a filter on the n7 of just the apps to transfer and did another backup of those and sync'd to Google Drive. I copied the files for the ones I wanted (based on files having a just change date/time) from Google Drive to the N5 and put them in a new directory. I set the new folder as the backup folder in titanium backup. Now when I go to TB on the N5 I can see the apps but they all have a line through them. When I try to batch restore, I get a message that ### elements failed. I turned on allow unknown sources and that didn't make a difference. If I select an app in the list, I have options to uninstall or delete.
I have a feeling it would be easier to use one of the newer apps designed just for apps but I've got this far. I don't know why I can't restore them via TB.
Im not a fan of titanium backup I think its a good app but it has no place anymore in kit kat and it just kills battery and resources... Just my opinion

I did something similar with TB and this worked for me.
I strongly suggest you do it in steps. First step is go to Play Store, My Apps, All. Manually install each app fresh. (Don't panic...keep reading). If you didn't get the app from the Play Store, then copy the apk from your N7.
Once you have them all installed (fresh new versions, yay!) now open Titanium and press the middle tab (Backup/Restore). Go down the list and just tap the individual app name...a box pops up..press Restore...box pops up...Press Data Only. Done! Move on down the list, one by one. As you discovered, you can't batch restore this. It takes time, but they'll all work.
Whatever you do...DO NOT restore data to ANY SYSTEM APPS!. We don't need seeing another thread where you rushed and borked something
In fact, before you start, back up your N5..just in case.
Have fun.

Thanks. I ended up using the migrate feature on MyBackup Pro. It was kind of slow but less hassle than looking up 150 apps on the play store and installing them. (I'm an app addict). Some of them failed though so I'll have to do those manually and then I'll try the restore in Titanium. Not touching system apps except I wanted to move my wifi hot spots over with passwords which Titanium can supposedly do.
Wondering if I could have use OTG to back them up and then restore to the new device. Found some threads on it but not sure if it would have worked.
I want to transfer all apps from one android phone to another android phone, and I want to keep all app data (example: keep the account logged in inside the app), not installing them from scratch, but without using Google's servers.
From Android 8.0 to Android 10, possibly without root.
What options are available?
don't insist with the google option
thanks
You can backup apps & their data located on phone #1 by means of ADB connected to phone #1
Code:
adb devices
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\backup.ab
On your phone #1, you will be prompted to accept the backup request. Just tap on the “Backup my data” button.

this require root?
The apps on the new phone will be already installed and with the app data, same as old phone?
Also what type of data is included in the "full backup data"? also system settings? if there are different android versions and settings how will work?
any other suggestions?

You might use HELIUM app. It requires a desktop companian app got installed, too.
How-to:
Install Helium on Android
Install Helium on your PC
Windows Users must also install Android drivers and restart.
Open Helium Desktop on PC
Open Helium on Android (and follow any instructions there)
Helium should now be enabled!
Android to AndroidAndroid owner, Google, has made it a whole lot easier to transfer data from an old Android phone to a new one in the past few years, to the point where there’s little you have to actually do. That’s true even if you store lots of music and data locally on your phone, though in that case it may just take a few more minutes to complete the transfer process.
Many major Android phone manufacturers include custom migration tools on their devices. Samsung has its Smart Switch app, which helps users migrate to a Samsung phone from another brand. It works very well, and even includes tools to switch from an iPhone.
Perhaps you’re moving to an LG phone, in which case the LG Mobile Switch app is probably the way to go. This app gets installed on your old Android phone, and aids in the switch to a new LG device by transferring data like photos, music, video, call logs, messages, and so on. OnePlus makes OnePlus Switch, which comes pre-installed on some OnePlus devices, and can transfer similar desired data.
The easiest thing to do in most such cases, however, is to simply follow the on-screen instructions when you first set up your new phone. You’ll likely be able to transfer data directly from your old Android device by placing it near your new one, which cuts out many steps. Data transfer usually happens over WiFi, but in some cases you can transfer via a cable. During this process, you’ll be able to select the data you want to transfer, and you’ll be notified when the transfer process has been completed. The transfer process should include app data, though that may depend on the apps themselves.
While using an Android device, it’s a good idea to backup your phone to the cloud, not only so it’s easier to restore your data next time you get a new phone, but also so that you still have your data in case your phone is lost or stolen. If you’ve already backed up your data, you may be able to restore it from the cloud during the setup process by tapping on the Can’t use old phone button when prompted to transfer data from your old device. Through this process, you should be able to transfer all kinds of data, including apps and accounts.
If you have set up your phone already, and want to restore data, it is possible to do so. The exact path to the right settings depends on your manufacturer. On a Samsung phone, you can do so by going to Settings > Accounts and backup, and tapping on the “Restore data” button, for example.
Photos, files, and moreIn case you can’t or don’t want to transfer your photos and local files by using built-in transfer tools, there are other ways of doing so. By far the easiest way is to use cloud storage, like Google Drive and Google Photos.
Let’s start with files. To backup files to Google Drive, open up the Google Drive app and hit the “+” button on the bottom right of the screen. Then tap the “Upload” button, navigate to the files you want to upload, select them, and wait for the upload to complete. On your new phone, you can then view your files in the Google Drive app.
Photos work very similarly. In many cases, your photos will be automatically uploaded to Google Photos already, but you can check if they are or not by opening the Google Photos app and hitting “Allow” when asked if you want to let Photos access your phone’s media. Then, tap your profile picture in the top right, and make sure Backup is on. If you have a lot of photos, you’ll need to wait for your photos to upload to Google’s service, after which you can view and download them on your new device through the Google Photos app.

You can also use android to android data transfer tool, such as SHAREit, AirDroid, MobiKin Transfer for Mobile, Send Anywhere, etc.

Thanks, this works with all apps or only those with "allow-backup" granted by developer?
I tried with some apps and the backup file that Helium generate is just a blank 1kb file.
What's wrong?
Helium seems abandoned, though I've never used it. I have found no way of getting a reliable backup without root. The cloud backup is the closest you can get, but I think that's only from Android 9. It will not restore sideloaded apps. It will not restore all data for apps, for me I get about 20% of the app data restored.
The only way (for me) to get a 90% consistent backup and restore is Titanium which requires root. But you do have to be careful when restoring, especially system apps (which you shouldn't do). At the very least, if the source phone has root you can make a backup with Titanium and then later be able to restore or inspect the saved data (mostly sqlite), or sideload the saved apks (without data).
Various phone manufacturers implement data porting from one phone to the other but I haven't seen one that fully restored everything.
I wish Android and Windows weren't years behind Apple at this stuff.
TL;DR You can't backup and restore everything without root

AppDash: Tag, sort & backup
AppDash is an app management tool which shows detailed information about your apps and allows tagging, backup and restore.
Download
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.appdashboard
Join the beta program
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/flar2.appdashboard
AppDash has been in development for over two years and incorporates everything that I've personally wanted out of an app manager. I've put a great deal of effort into the user interface, with the goal of making it convenient and intuitive, simple yet detailed, with a polished and pleasant look and feel. I hope you enjoy and find it useful. Please leave your feedback here in this thread, as the app is still under heavy development.
FEATURES:
• Tag your apps, perform batch actions, see screentime by tag, share app lists
• Backup and restore apps
• Analyze, extract and install APK, APKS, XAPK, APKM and split apk files
• Deep app info, including manifest, components, screentime, install/update history and metadata
• Search, sort and filter apps
Explore
See new and updated apps, quick summaries of tags, app usage, storage, unused and recently uninstalled apps
Apps
A searchable list of installed apps. Long press or tap the app icon to select one or more apps for batch actions, such as backup or uninstall
Tags
Another way to visualize your apps, you can create up to 30 customizable tag groups, and easily add or remove apps. Perform batch actions, such as backup or create sharable lists of apps.
The autotag feature will categorize your apps automatically. You can easily delete these tags and create your own, or modify them in any way you wish.
Backups
A searchable, sortable, filterable list of backups, including batch actions. First, you must choose a directory where AppDash will store your backups. It is strongly recommended to create a new directory for AppDash.
For root users, AppDash offers full backup and restore of apps, app data, external app data and expansion (OBB) files. Please note that some apps don't like backup and restore, so use at your own risk. For non-root users, only the apk will be backed up, no data.
For both root and non-root users, you can enable the auto backup feature, which will automatically back up apps whenever they are updated.
Tools
The Tools screen allows quick access to app history, usage and tools to install or analyze APK files. AppDash can handle many formats such as APK, APKS, XAPK and APKM.
Navigation and UI
AppDash is a new class of app that allows deep navigation. Each tab works independently, with its own backstack, allowing you to multitask and compare app details between tabs. You can always return to the beginning by tapping the icon in the bottom navigation bar twice or with the back button or gesture.
You can think of the Explore tab as home, pressing back enough times will always bring you back to Explore before exiting the app.
Almost everything int he app does something, so tap or long press icons, cards or text within the app and there is a good chance something will happen.
App Details
All the info you could ever want about an app, with a bottom drawer full of actions such as launch, backup, uninstall, share, extract and more. View internal details such as permissions, manifest and app components.
History
Maintains a list of app events. The longer AppDash is installed, the more info will be shown. On first launch, it only shows first install time and most recent update. From the time AppDash is installed, it will also keep track of version codes, uninstalls, updates, reinstalls and downgrades.
Usage
Get details about screen time and number of launches. By default, a weekly average is shown. Tap on the bar graph to show details for each day. You may show usage details for individual apps, or for tags.
Large Apps
Shows all apps using at least 100MB of storage. For root users, you can also quickly wipe cache to increase disk space.
Install APKs
Launches the system file chooser so you can select one or more APK, APKS, XAPK or APKM files to install.
APK Analyzer
Similar to the App Details screen, this scans the selected APK, APKS, XAPK or APKM file to get deep information about the app. You may also launch the APK Analyzer from most file explorers by clicking "Open with" and selecting AppDash.
Privacy
As with all my apps, there are no ads and no user data is collected or monetized. The only revenue is from subscription or in-app purchase. There is a free trial, but you must purchase the app or a subscription to continuing using AppDash for more than seven days. This charge is necessary to support development and expenses.
Beautiful app flar2! Is there a way to "select all" in the Backups tab yet? The autotag feature is pretty neat!
Finally a powerful Titanium Backup alternative is here. And much more, as I see.
Huge hopes and much anticipated. In no time everybody will use it.
And this, delivered by the best guy.
A great news in Android root world.
Thank you, Flar, and good luck!

I was hoping to avoid select all, but so far everyone is asking for it.
I added "select all" to the latest version
I'm going to make a series of short videos to highlight some of the lesser known features of AppDash.
Here's the first one, demonstrating how to create a sharable list of apps:
Will test next backup, cheers
Was going to ask if it backed up appdata, but then i actually read the OP
p.s. what ill be testing/comparing it against is in my sig
I've been waiting for a replacement for the tired old Titanium Backup.
Backed up Messages and all SMS data, cleared all the storage, lost all of my texts, as expected (they go way back).
Restored in seconds. Perfect.
Thank you!
I didn't see a way to schedule backups of updated apps and/or app data. Is this possible or planned for later?
I hope you don't mind some (hopefully) constructive criticism.....
Hit the backup icon and suddenly you're back at the App List tab when you start to select apps to backup... confusing
When you get there there's no obvious button to select all, which is what most people would do, before deselecting the odd app they maybe didn't want or didn't backup well. Instead you have to select an app before you can select all, this is counterintuitive. Also if you did want to filter apps once you have selected all, the filter option is gone once you select all..
Selection is signalled by replacing the apps icon, which is a bad idea, I know the icons, I don't know generic blue circles. App icons should never be hidden/replaced.
There's no obvious sign once backup begins in the GUI, none. I finally noticed a nondescript icon in the pulldown, but by that time I'd hit the backup icon at least twice...once I figured out what the backup icons n is that is. Perhaps label the icons or make that an option? Anyways, once I found the backup icon in the pulldown, and expanded it, there was still no progress...just said it was backing up 171 apps. Me, I like to know where a process is, never more so than a backup one
Why when on the backup tab (sorry, what you assume is the backup tab, but is actually the app list tab...on that front, I wouldn't have backup switch back to another tab, confusing) are there icons to delete apps etc. Once you have signalled you intend to backup these are unnecessary and distracting and taking up space best used by task specific options
There was no sign in the pulldown the backup had completed. There was a sign of something having been done as there was a list apps now in the backup tab, but no "backup completed"
There was no app count in the backup tab to show how many apps were backed up. Mine looked short. I counted them manually...only 42 of 171 apps were backed up.
Will test future versions. Have and use some of your other apps....
Some suggestions from me:
- When about to make a backup apk is always pre selected. Can it be done so that when one already has the last version of an app backed up, the apk is not pre selected and only data and external data is pre selected.
- in the backup dialog there is a very nice icon and text describing what is the last app backup and one knows if he has a backup of the last version of an app. But can you make it colored (red if no current version backup exists and green if it does for example)
- I use GMD Gesture Control. One of my most favorite apps. It is an old app but it still works fine. The apk is attached here. AppDash cannot make data backup for this app. I always get "data backup failed" message for it. Could you please check this.
- share only shares the app. Can you make it so that one can share the app, and/or the app data in one backup file for easy import and in sepatete files. This is very, very useful.
- there is an option "delete old backups". How old? Can one set this? For instance older then... What does it delete?
AppDash is an amazing product. We are lucky to have you, Flar.
Forgot to mention
- besides select all, it is good to have invert selection, exclude tag(s) from selection, include tag(s) to selection and such.
I can make some of the suggested changes, mainly around UI.
My hesitance around select all is that I'm concerned that many phones brands will flag the app for battery consumption and blacklist it or kill the process. And it will use up a ton of storage. It's better to be selective and only backup key apps.
I honestly do not want people to backup 170 apps at once, it's something that is very likely to fail for reasons beyond my control.
It's extremely resource intensive to compress, encrypt and copy several gigs of data.

I can probably add this. It will only make sense for backing up data for root users, as the autobackup feature will be sufficient in other cases.

I understand your concerns
I'll just point out that my current (and for several years) backup strategy has been over 170 apps weekly backed up and restored from the time i had my old Note 4 till now on my Pixel 2 XL. My current back up is around 4.4Gb and never failed (apart from a single backup app bug, that was fixed a year ago)
Part of my ability to fairly evaluate ROM's when testing is that i can apply the exact same apps to any ROM i test.
I realise this is probably outside of the average users needs, but im just pointing out, its entirely doable and stable with my current backup app.
I will keep my eye on the project though, and wish you the best. I still appreciate your other works, Button Mapper saved my sanity so many times in the past, and EX kernel manager still lives on my phone
@tiho5
GMD data backup fails for me too, but I'm pretty sure it can be fixed.
Thanks all, keep the suggestions coming.
I actually never have backed up my apps, and never used Titanium Backup or others, so not sure how people really use them.
My use cases for this app are more around seeing what apps have been updated, viewing app info, checking app usage and getting rid of apps I don't use.

Migrate: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...20-migrate-custom-rom-migration-tool.3862763/
I used to use MyBackup Pro, but when Migrate came along, i moved to it and never looked back
Appreciate all your work
Select all is needed for other actions too. I could want to clear cache from all apps from a certain tag for example.
Wipe data, restore data to a bunch of apps is often what I need to do for a set of apps in 2 of my tags. We must have these options. AppDash is a powerful, potent app manager and we have to be able to do batch actions like these.
I know you'd want the auto backup to work and therefore AppDash must not be killed. However to me this is less important than the rest of capabilities it may have. Flar, I don't think AppDash will get killed as these batch actions are always done when AppDash is active on the screen, never in the background.
