2011-05-10Full local backup infrastructure Christopher Tate
This is the basic infrastructure for pulling a full(*) backup of the device's data over an adb(**) connection to the local device. The basic process consists of these interacting pieces: 1. The framework's BackupManagerService, which coordinates the collection of app data and routing to the destination. 2. A new framework-provided BackupAgent implementation called FullBackupAgent, which is instantiated in the target applications' processes in turn, and knows how to emit a datastream that contains all of the app's saved data files. 3. A new shell-level program called "bu" that is used to bridge from adb to the framework's Backup Manager. 4. adb itself, which now knows how to use 'bu' to kick off a backup operation and pull the resulting data stream to the desktop host. 5. A system-provided application that verifies with the user that an attempted backup/restore operation is in fact expected and to be allowed. The full agent implementation is not used during normal operation of the delta-based app-customized remote backup process. Instead it's used during user-confirmed *full* backup of applications and all their data to a local destination, e.g. via the adb connection. The output format is 'tar'. This makes it very easy for the end user to examine the resulting dataset, e.g. for purpose of extracting files for debug purposes; as well as making it easy to contemplate adding things like a direct gzip stage to the data pipeline during backup/restore. It also makes it convenient to construct and maintain synthetic backup datasets for testing purposes. Within the tar format, certain artificial conventions are used. All files are stored within top-level directories according to their semantic origin: apps/pkgname/a/ : Application .apk file itself apps/pkgname/obb/: The application's associated .obb containers apps/pkgname/f/ : The subtree rooted at the getFilesDir() location apps/pkgname/db/ : The subtree rooted at the getDatabasePath() parent apps/pkgname/sp/ : The subtree rooted at the getSharedPrefsFile() parent apps/pkgname/r/ : Files stored relative to the root of the app's file tree apps/pkgname/c/ : Reserved for the app's getCacheDir() tree; not stored. For each package, the first entry in the tar stream is a file called "_manifest", nominally rooted at apps/pkgname. This file contains some metadata about the package whose data is stored in the archive. The contents of shared storage can optionally be included in the tar stream. It is placed in the synthetic location: shared/... uid/gid are ignored; app uids are assigned at install time, and the app's data is handled from within its own execution environment, so will automatically have the app's correct uid. Forward-locked .apk files are never backed up. System-partition .apk files are not backed up unless they have been overridden by a post-factory upgrade, in which case the current .apk *is* backed up -- i.e. the .apk that matches the on-disk data. The manifest preceding each application's portion of the tar stream provides version numbers and signature blocks for version checking, as well as an indication of whether the restore logic should expect to install the .apk before extracting the data. System packages can designate their own full backup agents. This is to manage things like the settings provider which (a) cannot be shut down on the fly in order to do a clean snapshot of their file trees, and (b) manage data that is not only irrelevant but actively hostile to non-identical devices -- CDMA telephony settings would seriously mess up a GSM device if emplaced there blind, for example. When a full backup or restore is initiated from adb, the system will present a confirmation UI that the user must explicitly respond to within a short [~ 30 seconds] timeout. This is to avoid the possibility of malicious desktop-side software secretly grabbing a copy of all the user's data for nefarious purposes. (*) The backup is not strictly a full mirror. In particular, the settings database is not cloned; it is handled the same way that it is in cloud backup/restore. This is because some settings are actively destructive if cloned onto a different (or especially a different-model) device: telephony settings and AndroidID are good examples of this. (**) On the framework side it doesn't care that it's adb; it just sends the tar stream to a file descriptor. This can easily be retargeted around whatever transport we might decide to use in the future. KNOWN ISSUES: * the security UI is desperately ugly; no proper designs have yet been done for it * restore is not yet implemented * shared storage backup is not yet implemented * symlinks aren't yet handled, though some infrastructure for dealing with them has been put in place.

2009-09-30Turn off most of the backup-related debug logging Christopher Tate
The core logging in BackupManagerService and in the Google backup transport are still enabled at this point. Change-Id: I10abfa565bbd1097dd3631051b6aca163e4af33a
2009-09-24Clear the device's data from the transport when backup is disabled Christopher Tate
Turning off backup in the Settings UI constitutes an opt-out of the whole mechanism. For privacy reasons we instruct the backend to wipe all of the data belonging to this device when the user does this. If the attempt fails it is rescheduled in the future based on the transport's requestBackupTime() suggestion. If network connectivity changes prompt the transport to indicate a backup pass is appropriate "now," any pending init operation is processed before the backup schedule is resumed. The broadcasts used internally to the backup manager are now fully protected; third party apps can neither send nor receive them. (Also a minor logging change; don't log 'appropriate' EOF encountered during parsing of a backup data stream.)

2009-06-22Helper API cleanup. Allows multiple helpers to function, Joe Onorato
because they'll always go in the same order, and this lets us not have to write headers to keep them paired.
