nice i've used the my backup before. a really nice app took a while for the back up but none the less a really good app. how does the root version compare to the pro version?
[Android Apps and Games] v941726:
It would be nice to have a nand type backup w/o recovery and to backup to servers
[Android Apps and Games] MrGarak:
I love the functionality of the app it's great, I just wish the UI was spruced up a bit. Will purchase the pro for sure if that happens in the future.

Just a question about app backup, does it also backup and restore the list of installed apps of the market?

Man someone needs to integrate this app into the OS...

Hi,

I could not find pro version in the market. It says "There are no matches in Android market for the search: pname:com.reware.android.MyBackupPro"

Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] VisedMonk:
Read the OP. The app is called "MyBackup Root", not "MyBackupPro".
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
He wants to find the paid version, not the version talked about here.

Try MyBackup Pro

Here's the appbrain link.

[Android Apps and Games] VDub2174:
I used this a little bit ago after updating my current ROM and I think it works great!! There was no need to press OK for every app like the free version of TB and my phone didn't reboot like it does with the paid version of TB.

Rating this as a 5-star app!
[Android Apps and Games] alex_hk90:
I just tried this on my HTC Desire to maintain settings (especially SMS and home screens, which TItanium didn't for me) across a full wipe and it worked well. Thanks for your efforts in developing it and even more for making it free. :)

One suggestion though - would it be possible to make a 'full backup' option to do settings and apps together (personally I'm not bothered about 'Media'/photos as they reside on the SD card anyway and so are not lost across full wipes)? So the idea would be you could just do this 'full phone backup' before doing a full wipe and installing a new ROM, then restore this and have all your settings and apps as they were before. I know it isn't far off that at the moment (you just have to do one backup for "Applications (& Media)" and one for "Data") but if that could be added it would be perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] VisedMonk:
Whoops! My bad. Lo siento...
[Android Apps and Games] raven_raven:
Whoa! Great thing that you made another version of MyBackup and it's free :). I really like your app, it's far more user-friendly than Titanium Backup (however there's many less features).
[Android Apps and Games] Silberpfeil3110:
Great App!

Already using it!
[Android Apps and Games] ptpoul:
Installed it and it worked great.

fast backup etc.

Quick question:

does it back up my customized framework-res.apk with the customized theme so I get it back if i restore it via this software?
[Android Apps and Games] overground:
So I already have MyBackup Pro. I downloaded this, and the options appear exactly the same.

Question:

Seems these features are already integrated into MBP. If so, do I need this?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] alex_hk90:
From what I've read, this is the same as MyBackup Pro except that it doesn't have all the features regarding the online backup (i.e. if you have MyBackup Pro that has more and so you don't need MyBackup Root).
[Android Apps and Games] Eat it iPhone:
Used this to backup phone log, sms/mms, bookmarks, and dictionary when i rooted my Evo. Installed a custom ROM and then used this to migrate all the data back onto my Evo. Everything worked very well except the dictionary doesnt appear to have any of the stuff in it i used too. Probably a mistake on my part.

All in all, this is an exception option for backing up and was easier to use imo than titan backup. Thanks so much for making a reliable and easy to use backup app.
[Android Apps and Games] -V-O-Y-A-G-E-R-:
Thanks to RerWare for this gesture. Really nice of them.

Regarding interface differences between TB and MBP, the latter looks cheap and old-fashioned.

That font, those buttons...

And once you get used to complexity of TB UI, you actually see it as a really straight forward.

And MBP-s interface (menu options), no matter how simple, puzzled me.

Too much scrolling (use screen wisely...ie. do not list all apps in a pop-up window where every item is put in a half inch row).

Dunno if it is safe to suppose that most of the users are right-handed, so putting checkboxes to the right makes more sense, it doesn't matter that you can (un)check them by tapping anywhere.

Going back should take you back just one step, not all of them (back to the main menu).

Did not have problems with speed though. It was done in no time on DHD.
[Android Apps and Games] Sian:
Not sure whether I did something wrong, but when I tried to backup & restore my contact, the phone contacts with photos/settings didn't get backup. Only Google contact was restored, which in the first place was not even enabled in my phone. Not sure there is no backup hence no restore or something didn't go right.

App back up and restore seems to work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] orcking:
alex_hk90 :

Thanks for the suggestion

The idea of separating apps and data was mainly for "non root" users, but it also very useful for root users.

If you are going from one ROM to another then data option is very valuable because we support migration between different OS versions (ex: move contacts from 1.x to 2.x).

simply copying the contacts database wont work (like other apps do)

we also give you the flexibility to copy apk+data for system apps as well (if you are staying within one rom)

I hope I clarified the issue..
[Android Apps and Games] orcking:
It should if you go to options and include system apps and include that app from the list
[Android Apps and Games] orcking:
Yes it does
[Android Apps and Games] diego1985:
Ok, This explains why i can't pull my text history and app info after i flash to a custom ROM. Because of the wipe 3x and flash method. But when i use a nandroid recovery i can use all these features in mybackup root again. It just doesn't work when im on a custom Rom. Now i get messages like Could not get backup set. When trying to restore info from the Sd card. Weird.
[Android Apps and Games] alex_hk90:
OK, I think I get it - so what you're saying is that the 'Data' backup will work across all ROMs, while the 'Applications' backup includes system apps which will only be successfully restored on the same ROM/OS version? In that case what would be ideal is a backup option which includes all 'Data' and all 'Applications' which are independent of ROM/OS version (i.e. do not include system apps which will not be successfully restored on a different version). Of course there would still be an option for a 'full backup' as I previously described for when you're staying on the same OS version (but doing a full wipe) which includes 'Data' and all 'Applications' (including the system ones).
[Android Apps and Games] orcking:
you have it right on the dot........
[Android Apps and Games] tridge:
First: I have owned this app for over a year and I've loved it. I already paid for the app and love that there is now a free version for others!

Second: If I have already purchased this app, do I need to uninstall and re-install this new version or has it already been addressed? Is this "Root" version different then the Pro I paid for a year ago?

Third: Great app, love it.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
The root version is a sub-set of the pro version. Go on using the pro version that you paid for.
[Android Apps and Games] tridge:
I was pretty sure this was the case because I noticed after I rooted my phone a few months ago SU started notifying me of granting SU rights to MyBackup. :o
[Android Apps and Games] kavros:
thank you works perfect
[Android Apps and Games] Vermillon:
Hello there,

I've tested your app and it works well.

But I have a problem.

During an upgrade of my firmware, I've lost my IMEI, and I did a backup with this "phone-without-IMEI"

Now it came back, your app doesn't recognize the backup files I've done because of the device.

But, I'm a bit short of money (life is hard for a student..) and cannot buy the Pro version ; which allow to restore files made with an other device.

Does it exist an other way ?

Pardon my English ;-)

Thank you in advance !
[Android Apps and Games] Y2KMP3:
Can you merge two copies of backup make with MyBackup Root into one?
[Android Apps and Games] onemotodroid:
paid for the pro verison and used to backup apps, data, and sms. it is a little slow but works GREAT

i will take advantage of the online backup when i change phones

great app!!
[Android Apps and Games] Eroo:
Could anyone upload this .apk? I cant download anything from the market, get an error mess.

So there is no way for me to download it since you need to install appbrain from the market to :(

Backup and Restore to another phone

T-Mobile are swapping out my (possibly) defective Moto Defy on Monday. Now I've spent a ton of time creating accounts, configuring settings, tweaking desktop widgets, installing apps, doing z4root etc. I'm going to have to move to a brand new device (different IMEI).

Historically, I've never seen *any* phone do an even reasonable job of backing up configuration data. Contacts, SMS, photos yes, but who cares, they're already in the cloud.

What I'm looking for is more akin to an image backup/restore (think Ghost,Acronis etc on PC).

Will this app do it for me? I'm rooted - will it pickup *everything*? Can I backup with the trial version and then restore with the pro?
[Android Apps and Games] danieljsinclair:
Backup and Restore to another phone

Oh, and I meant to ask also - can I do this backup to SD Card?

I'm very happy to donate if it works for me, but it sounds like because I'm changing hardware I may need to buy PRO first to find out....
[Android Apps and Games] alex_hk90:
It sounds like you want to do a nandroid backup (in recovery). I don't know anything about the Moto Defy but that's what I would do for an image-style backup if I was switching from one HTC Desire to another. Having said that, I have never tried it across two different devices (of the same model) - can anyone confirm that it would work?

MyBackup Root (which is what this thread is about) does backup to the SD card, but I don't know if it will let you do it across different devices (I haven't tried myself). I would think it should be able to, again can anyone confirm this?
[Android Apps and Games] danieljsinclair:
OK, let me temper my request a little - perhaps "image backup" is over-zealous. A real image backup is almost certainly going to be problematic going between (even supposedly identical) hardware if the last decade watching the success and failure on PCs is anything to go by.

OK, so I just want a "full fidelity" backup. That's hard enough. It looks like MyBackup will do it. I've played with Root and the Pro Trial but of course I can't practice a restore as I only have one handset so I was hoping for a vote of confidence from the author.

So there are three versions;

1) MyBackup Root

2) MyBackup Pro

3) MyBackup Pro Trial.

I have 1 and 3 so far, but I'm confused about the options. Does anyone know what the limitations of each are? Does Pro do all that root can do? Do I need to be rooted? Does Pro do anything I can't do with Root? If so, what is it?

Is the Trial version fully functional compared with Pro for 30 days? If I backup with the trial can I restore with the pro? Or would I have to buy Pro twice, once for the old phone and again for the new? That would suck.

Also, there's options for backing up Data, Apps, APKs, APKs and data - On top of that, there's the root option. What do I do if I just want to backup *everything*?

There doesn't appear to be a "backup everything" option - does anyone know for sure?
[Android Apps and Games] bobsbbq:
Is there or how would I back up all of my widgets and wallpaper settings etc?
[Android Apps and Games] bobsbbq:
Thanks for the app. Also a paid version user but it is good of you to give back. I would like to know if there is a way to backup all shortcut and widgets? I seem to have had success on the shortcuts but all the widgets had a "Problem Loading Data or Widget" and just a black box where the widget should be.

Thank you if you can help me with this.
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
I don't believe anything can restore widgets on home screens (the widgets themselves are backed up as .apks). Best to write down what is where and reinstate them yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] alex_hk90:
MyBackup Root restored my home screens successfully. Some of the widgets needed reinstalling but all their positions were retained (and for ones which didn't need reinstalling they were fine).
[Android Apps and Games] Burning_aces:
So without reading the thread, this is basically titanium backup?
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Yes, I know, the positions are retained, but unless you've written down what went where, you're SOL. That's why I said widget restoration wasn't successful. MyBackup Root restores the .apks, so you don't have to 'reinstall' them, the widget program is saved.

If you use LauncherPro, make sure to back up your home screens (via Preferences), that way you can easily reinstate all of your screens.

[Android Apps and Games] Tomdroid:
I'd say it's like a for the user simplified version of TI that features a higher level of automation.

I've used it to migrate 100+ apps and data from one Rom to another (sepcifically: CM6 0.05 to TheFroyoMod 2.3). It took some time to backup / restore but it worked well. I especially liked that I wasn't forced to manually confirm every single app installation like TI does. MB basically assumes that the user knows what got backed up and thus knows what's going to get restored and thus skips the whole (imo. unnecessary) check-and-confirm process.

The only (minor) issue I encountered was related to apps which require user input right after the installation. Specifically JuiceDefender's AOSP helper which disables & re-enables the (GSM) radio, thus triggering the SIM key request. At this point, MB lost focus and thus aborted the restore process.

I say it's a minor issue because all I had to do was looking at the app drawer to see which app is last in the alphabetical list, then selecting all after that in MB's restore list and continue the process.

All in all a highly recommendable app.

Why restore of bookmark don work correctly? Though infomation shows in the db but browser dont display those bookmarks at all
[Android Apps and Games] reinbeau:
Actually none of my bookmarks, call logs or SMSs were restored on my last attempt. And most of my apps didn't make it back, either. I have no idea what went wrong, other than MBP doesn't seem to have a place where you can specify the path to the external card ala Titanium Backup. Both of these programs trade back and forth on which one will work, at least for me.

You can verify what information the backup has by using the View function. Also, the Web Viewer at www.rerware.com has the ability to view a lot more information from anywhere in the world with a web browser!

pro is for all device but root is only for root device thats it?

What else that the root version does not come with?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
MyBackup Root will give you all ability of MyBackup Pro except it will only work to the SD card, not Online, and will only restore a backup that was create from the same device that created the backup.
[Android Apps and Games] sungeigedong:
I've been using MyBackup Root - very happy with it and the "price".

I normally do backups for data (call log and sms) and apps.

Got a set backed-up under Oxygen ROM froyo.

Got two sets backed up under GingerVillain gingerbread versions.

I've flashed the new Oxygen gingerbread 2.3.3 and tried restoring my backups. The "date" of the backup files are listed but nothing is "detected" and nothing is restored.

However, the older set backed-up under Oxygen Froyo appears correctly but I've not tried restoring this, as it's too old to be used.

Anyone with similar experience or can someone shed some light on this anomaly?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
The backups that were made under Android 2.3 with versions prior to our new one released 2.6.5 were in a different SQLite format, you should now be okay using the 2.6.5 version going forward!
[Android Apps and Games] sungeigedong:
That's so obvious. Thanks.

I'd made the backups v2.6.4 and after flashing the new rom, install Mybackup Root from the market, v2.6.5 - so that accounted for the version difference.

Just to "stretch" this a little, backups under v2.6.3 works with v2.6.5?

That's what I'm seeing with v2.6.5, I could "see" the older backups (I assume these were before v2.6.4).
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I can't really complain given that it is free and basically has the best feature of the paid version of Titanium Backup (one-click restore), but if I just have one gripe... the backup process is extremely slow compared to Ti Backup.
[Android Apps and Games] rogcontact:
It is slower if you have the BusyBox option turned off, we do not have to have BusyBox to work. But, if you turn it on, it is much faster!

@sungeigedong : Same deal with 2.6.3, but you probably never ran it on Android 2.3

I'm not sure if I used MyBack Root correctly or not, but I used it to backup up my applications before installing a new rom. I only backed up the data and not the .apk. Now that the new rom is loaded, I am restoring the applications and data as needed. However, I am running into instances where I get a message that says 'data not restored(Incompatible version)'. In one example, I am trying to restore data for Dolphin Browser HD. MyBackup backed up the data at version 4.4.0. The version on the Market is 4.4.1. Is there a way to get it to restore the data even though the minor version difference? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
