Cannot Download

When I try to download Ultimate Backup Tool v2.0 for windows (page 1) it takes me to adfoc.us!

I tried v1.3.2 and that link appear to work.

Is something broken? Or is it my computer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bratusm:
Just wait on adfoc.us and look to upper right corner how the numbers will go. Then klik on "Skip" and you'll be transfered to Mega.co.nz site and you'll download file... :D

Not yet.

You have to know the exact name of the package (like com.google.android.youtube).

So you can do it manually: adb backup <packages>
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AnumEndzeit:
Im still confused, i need things drawn out for me. So option 1

fully

backs up the device partitions without system apps, or just user apps+data? I ask this because i saw that over at XDA News Portal, it says data+apps only but the backup file is about 3.8 GB. Does somebody mind straightening this up?

EDIT: Option 4 (backup apps) doesnt seem to work for my Desire HD. It finishes but the backup file is only 1 KB

Hey,

great work. It works fine.

A question: how can I change the backup folder?

My SGS3 have 32GB and the backup of all apps and datas takes over 12GB on harddisk and my HD has only an amount of 32GB on C:\.

So I have not enough store place for the whole backup.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] n0j0e:
Started UBT.exe as admin on my Win7 x64 and before make a backup i must create a backup directory on c:!

Without it doesn't works.

Tip. When i fire my command in a cmd window like:

adb backup -apk -noshared -all -nosystem -f backup23082012.ab

..its create the backup file where adb.exe is.

Is there a tool around here to unpack the *.ab?

Oh, and on my device it works without a desktop password.

Hey Guys,

does anyone know if it is possible to make a backup form my htc one x apps and apps data and restore it on my nexus 7????

This would be great, but I want to be sure that it works.

N7 runs 4.1.1 and my HOX runs 4.0.3, both on stock rom....

AND, if it should work - I have a MBP 15" - am I able to run this via a virtual machine (vmware) Windows 7??

Thanks!!!

UNC-Paths and Batch-File

First, thanks for the script!

Since this is a batch file using the old cmd.exe it does not support UNC paths. Starting the executable from a network-path results into redirecting the work dir to the default windows directory.

Too bad you can't even see any output streams (Standard Out, Standard Error) because the batch goes back to menu and clears the screen. At least it would be a good idea to redirect all output to a logfile (>> backup.log or just errors 2> errors.log) so you can read messages like

adb: unable to connect for backup

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TedTheBellhop:
that's what I told, you can't see any output. just copy the batch-source (hxxp://pastebin.com/pCHm38Ry - link from first post) into a new bat file (e.g. UBT.bat) and put a pause before the cls.

That's just a cheap workaround but you can see the messages - use this: hxxp://pastebin.com/Xrwy7Ct3

Malware?

The "Ultimate Backup Tool" referenced above comes bundled with a program called "Conduit" which has been reported as malware. Conduit installs itself in your browsers as the default search and blocks you from re-setting your previous default. Then it apparently shares your information all over the place. As a result, I declined to install the Ultimate Backup Tool even though I had the option of un-bundling Conduit. My trust was shot . . . . -Anonymous
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bitl3ss:
The download page adfoc.us is misleading, the download link here is to garbageware. you need to wait for the timer to run out and then click the skip link in the upper right corner. that will take you to mega.co.nz which should provide a download for PhoneBackup.exe which is the correct program.

I can understand your disappointment, it sucks that some sites have resorted to distributing sh1t. That's why I test everything out on the VM before deploying to my actual desktop.

DO NOT USE!

It uses ADB's "adb backup /restore" feature. If you so much want to make yourself a full backup and know just a little how to run ADB, you could do it yourselves (not so trivial to figure out the boot and recovery partitions though)...

Just what I was looking for

'Option 2' is the most tempting one, I suppose if I use 'Option 1' am going to loose all those text messages anyways but not sure why I would still loose all those SMSs if 'Option '2 is being used. Option 2 is marked as unsafe, is there any known problem on it, atleast on the GNex on which you did most of your testing. Am currently on non-rooted 4.1 Yakju build, I suppose Option 2 should be safe enough for just unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device with the same Yakju build, wondering if it would work if I tried the Takju build (with just the wallet app being added). Would like to know if someone has tried this and hit a wall , if not am going to give it a shot anyways and thanks again for making something this useful :good:

I will include it in the next Version.

I will release it tomorow.

My PC has created a backup directory by itself.

Here is a tool to unpack .ab files: github.com/nelenkov/android-backup-extractor

Maybe you have moved your backup?

I can assure you that the file is not a virus. Some bad people use to EXE conveted Batch files to bypass virus scanners.

Use a more famous virus scanner and you will get no warning.

It's marked AS unsafe, because i don't know what happens when someone made a backup from a 4.0 ROM and restored it in a 4.1 ROM.

I made an option 1 backup yesterday with my Galaxy SII GT-I9100 , looks like it worked fine... 7.7GB file of backup :p

But i have a question, Gigadroid if i'm using the stock ROM on my SII, can i install another ROM like CM9 and then restore the backup that i made? This will recover all my data, games and saved games? (dont care about sms, and this other stuff ^^)

btw i'm using ICS 4.0.3.
