I use DivestOS which is based on LineageOS and these have SeedVault integrated in it as a backup solution, but since it doesn’t work well I’ll tell what I do (If your OS has Google’s backup solution, it works well to a certain extent, but there are times when it cannot restore things like call log/sms even though it backs them up).
Android/media
folder, which means I basically export Aegis’ backup file into/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.beemdevelopment.aegis/backups
, with this way, I can back up and restore themedia
along with the APK of the application using Swift Backup. If you find this step unnecessary/complicated, you can create a folder calledBackups
anywhere and put all your backup files there..thumbnails
folder unnecessarily). Also if you stashed all your backups/exports into some folder, it will also sync.When I take these backups, I can completely restore the phone to its previous state even after factory settings. Of course, for a cleaner start, sometimes I don’t sync some folders back or don’t reinstall some applications. To do this the way I want, I reinstall and restore data of the applications one by one.
that's all great, but Swift Backup requires you to have a rooted device first.
I does not require it. I don’t have root.
