Completely Free & Open Source - Formats Included!
We believe that your data should stay yours. Open Android Backup uses 7-Zip to pack the data exported from your device into a 'backup archive', ensuring that you can access your data, even if you don't have access to this script or it gets removed by chance. It is also completely free, with no 'premium features' locked behind a paywall.
Truly Cross-Platform
Open Android Backup can back up and restore devices on Linux, macOS and Windows. This ensures that you are not locked in to a single operating system due to this script.
Compression & Encryption by Default
Your backups and metadata such as file names are automatically encrypted and archived using the best compression settings. This means that you don't need to worry about not having enough disk space to backup your Android phone.
Semi-Wireless Backups
Malfunctioning cable? You can wirelessly connect your phone to your computer and back up your device without having to worry about the connection being unstable. Note that a cable is still needed for setup.
