Backup and restore using ubports-installer
-
HI,
An this backup option will accept any phone in its factory setting ? -
@Lakotaubp Not yet, I have to cleanup my code before to push it, and I only tried it on Meuzu Pro 5
-
@lool_lauris Only working with UbPorts phones, I tried it with a Meizu Pro5 on Android and it's not working.

When I was asking about any phone, I was meaning the available phones for UT, of course.
-
@lool_lauris And this is also why I asked if everybody had the folders "user-data" and "system-data" on their devices while in recovery mode, because this folder will be the one to be backing up.
-
@AlainW94 My fault being to keen and not reading properly. Will check other stuff.
-
Does this work while the phone is booted normally or in recovery/bootloader mode?
Looks cool, has it been merged already? -
@kugiigi It will work only on recovery, because it need to read or write system data. It is not merged yet, I will do it asap.
-
@AlainW94 It writes? may I know for what?
Anyway, I just thought I can use it for backing up/restoring my MultiROM UT installs
Good luck with this -
@kugiigi Backup AND RESTORE so yes, write
-
@kugiigi Yes it write if you restore a backup ! The backup tool will backup the content of 2 folders : /data/user-data and /data/system-data.
If you open a shell on the recovery, and typels /data
And if you can see in there the previouly named folders, then the backup tool will be able to backup this file on your multirom device.
-
Of course, restoring will write data....what a stupid question from me
I'll check this functionality once it's merged in the app.
Thanks. -

@Lakotaubp Many thanks ! it seems that the backup tool will work for at least those devices (Nexus 7, One Plus, Bq M10, Meizu Pro 5)

@AlainW94 that is a very awesome functionality for the UT phone! Thank you for your work Alain! I also own a Pro5 so looking forward to use such a useful utility. I feel the day my UT phone will become my daily driver again is always closer and closer, thank to committed Community people as you are
