oandbackup from adb shell?

Open spmp opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

I have a phone with broken digitiser which I can still get into using adb shell. Can I perform a backup using oandbackup from command line as root?

  1. you can have the "remote control" over your device with the help of adb. See e.g. https://forum.f-droid.org/t/suggested-app-scrcpy-display-and-control-of-android-devices-through-adb/ I've used some others before.
  2. Having adb+root you can backup whatever you want without oandbackup. The straight UNIX way would be just cp -a /data/data/$APPID /sdcard/. The Android way is to use adb backup which BTW doesn't require the root but needs some screen interaction so see (1).

It looks interesting to run oandbackup from adb, but I don't know how to do it. I use for backup:

adb backup "-apk -all -system" -f "${HOME}/MyAndroidBackup_$(date +%F).ab

Also, add -shared if you want to backup your SD-card content too.

This might be possible if oandbackup had the proper intent. You can open a Feature Request for that.
