ADB Backup-- this is the free way of creating a backup file.
So here, I am on my desktop, and I type adb backup -all.
That means, give me all of the stuff that's
on the device that's shared, means emulated SD essentially,
-system, everything that's on the system,
-keyvalue, all the keys that I may need,
-apk, all the apps, -f.
So you want all the access, and you're calling it backup.ab.
That's it.
The phone is then going to prompt you to do something.
If Back Up My Data is grayed out and you cannot press it,
and it makes you enter a passcode,
make sure you remember that passcode.
Lee and I always use 5555.
So we will enter 5555.
We click Back Up My Data.
It acquires the data.
Now, every time, it's going to create a container.
So if it's going to create backup.ab, backup1.ab,
backup2.ab, you will have to enter that passcode and select
Backup My Data that many times.
If you miss a step, you will miss data.
When you go to open it, you have to enter the passcode in order
to parse it.
Make sure you choose a passcode that makes sense to you.
