Always run storage backups in a foreground service otherwise we get killed for using too much CPU
A backup application for the Android Open Source Project.
For older versions of Android, check out the branches.
This application is compiled with the operating system and does not require a rooted device for use. It uses the same internal APIs as adb backup
which is deprecated and thus needs a replacement.
android.permission.BACKUP
to back up application data.android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
to check if there is internet access when network storage is used.android.permission.MANAGE_USB
to access the serial number of USB mass storage devices.android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
to change system backup settings and enable call log backup.android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES
to get information about all installed apps for backup.android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES
to re-install apps when restoring from backup.android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
to backup and restore files from device storage.android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION
to backup original media files e.g. without stripped EXIF metadata.android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE
to do periodic storage backups without interruption.android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS
to retrieve the available storage roots (optional) for better UX.Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault.
This project aims to adhere to the official Kotlin coding style.
The Seedvault backup parser allows you to decrypt and inspect your backups. It can also re-encrypt them.
