Instructions for backing up all data on Android device without root

Sometimes backing up on your smartphone or tablet is not enough. Usually to backup your devices, you can use Titanium Backup tool or Google Drive. However, if you want to backup all data on the device, you must use the Android Software Developer Kit (SDK). With the Android Software Developer Kit (SDK), you can easily back up all data on your Android device with a single command.

1. Some essential tools

Before performing the backup process, your first task is to install some of the following software:

1. Java Development Kit
2. Android Studio (including Android SDK)

2. Set up your Android device

After the above tools are installed, your next task is to set up your Android phone to allow the device and Android SDK to be connected. All you need to do is enable USB debugging.

To do this, open the Settings application, then scroll down to find the Developer options option.

If you don't see the Developer options option, you must activate the option by looking for Build number on your device (usually find the Build Number by clicking About => Software information => More, then clicking the option. Select Build Number 7 times).

Once done, you will see the Developer options option appear on Settings.

Select the option D eveloper options to enable USB debugging.

At this point, connect your device to the computer to run Android Studio.

3. Install Google USB Driver

Open Android Studio, then on the main window, click Configure.

On the Configure window, click Android SDK Manager . Next on the Android SDK Manager window, scroll down to find and make sure the Google USB Driver option is checked, then click Install, accept the terms and click Install again.

4. Check Android Debug Bridge (adb)

At the top of the Android SDK Manager window, you will find the exact location of the SDK installed. Open Explorer, navigate to the location and access the folder containing platform-tools. Press and hold the Shift key , then right-click the folder, select the Open command window .

Next check to make sure that adb can communicate with the device and to ensure that your Android device is not suspended. Use the command below to check:

adb devices

Now you will see your device listed in the output list.

5. Create Backup (backup)

Now your task is to create the image. On the Command Prompt window that you just checked for adb, enter the following command:

adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C: UsersNAMEbackup.ab

In the above statement, replace NAME with the username on your Windows computer.

At this time on the Android device will appear a new window. If you want to encrypt the backup (backup), enter a password, or alternatively click Backup my data . The backup process will start, and you will find backup files in the setup folder in the backup command.

This process depends on the amount of data on your device.

6. Restore (restore) backup

The restore process is quite simple. Just connect your device to restore and enter the command:

adb restore C: UsersNAMEbackup.ab

In the above statement, replace NAME with the username on the Windows computer you used during the backup process.

The process depends on the amount of data on your device.
