Backup and restore using ubports-installer

AlainW94

@mihael Thanks ! I already use this method to backup a Meizu Pro5 to another Meizu Pro5, but I can't try it with a different model as I didn't have other model.
I don't know if a system backup can work on a different phone model.

@Lakotaubp Thanks !

Great work! Thanks @AlainW94

AlainW94

HI,
An this backup option will accept any phone in its factory setting ?

AlainW94

@Lakotaubp Not yet, I have to cleanup my code before to push it, and I only tried it on Meuzu Pro 5

AlainW94

@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.

AlainW94

@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?

AlainW94

@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.

kugiigi

@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

AlainW94

@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 type

ls /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.

kugiigi

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.
