Free app that uses ADB Backup to make full backups of Android.
Formerly called "Simple ADB Backup", Holo Backup is a free utility which can backup the contents of an Android device without the requirement for root access.
The application is easy-to-use and facilitates backup data up with just one click, but the phone or tablet must be running a version of Android 4.0 or above. USB debugging must also be enabled.
The main windows of Holo Backup includes one-click access to backing up the Android phone with or without all apps, system data, data only on the SD card. It can also quickly restore data from a previous backup. At the end of the list is the option to backup or restore SMS messages.
For each backup, you may select exactly which apps and files should be backed up from the phone's filesystem.
Holo Backup is a good tool which does not require root and can be useful for downloading the data from your phone from time to time as to avoid data loss.
Features of Holo Backup
- ADB backup's features are supported, save for single app backup, which I've removed because it very rarely worked.
- Ability to use an existing ADB install on Linux.
- Gorgeous Holo-inspired design.
- Proper icon on the Windows executable.
- Set a custom directory to save backups to. By default, it'll save backups to the /Backups/ folder.
