Since Lineage and /e/ stopped using TWRP as standar recovery there is a lack in nandroid backup.
Because of there is no other way (but please if you know an alternative write here please) to do a FULL (complete) backup of an Android devide I suggest to implement it on the /e/OS recovery.
It will shall work also with encripted nand.
Can you cofirm this lack or suggest me how to do a FULL backup of my /e/OS phone ?
seedvault is not working and is NOT a FULL backup of the system.
Can seedvault save and restore all wifi access point memorized on my smartphonâs user âJobâ (and not only principal) to my PC ? Howto?
This lack was already there before on devices where TWRP doesnât support decryption of user data âŚ
Backing up Internal Storage seems tricky, so TWRP leaves that out by default ⌠https://twrp.me/faq/backupexclusions.html. TWRP backups by default were never complete.
Adding to that, the user data partition in recent Android is mandatorily encrypted, getting decryption to work in TWRP is tricky, so TWRP leaves this to individual device maintainers to support, or not ⌠https://twrp.me/faq/encryptionsupport.html.
Something is coming to /e/OS supposedly regarding backup âŚ
Since /e/OS supports Rooted debugging (which isnât rooting the device, but only gives root to ADB), you could have a look at solutions able to use this, like perhaps
As a user, you can always copy Internal Storage via USB or other means, and you can always reinstall the OS by keeping the install files and tools.
With rooted ADB you should be able to access the part of the data partition you normally as a user canât cover with a backup.
Itâs almost as if Google made backing up Android pretty hard once you donât use their cloud for this, but how would they profit from doing this, I wonder? ⌠Apart from totally unintentionally promoting their own services while generating user dissatisfaction outside of their well-sheparded realm, of course.
there is no FULL SYSTEM backup (and restore) on /e/OS2.0-r-20240506399551-stable-dreamlte !!
please let me know if I am wrong
the only way is to decryp phone and use twrp but seems they forget also the âdecryptâ button (encryption seems irreversible)
plese let me know whatâs wrong
please forgive my bad english and let me know what part of âFULL SYSTEMâ let people understand âDATA ONLYâ.
For data only I can use a copy + paste function fromw every file explorer on the smartphone or on the attached PC. I can use also neobackup or titanoim backup to restore user or system app with or without their datas.
I am looking for a systema backup (operating system, root, multiple user, system configurations, profiles, and also but not only app and their dataâŚ)
Just as example look to TimeMachine for Apple OSX (I do not need exactly the same with automatic, incremental, planned, background, live system+data backup with special effects background during restore but if you find an equivalent for Android let me know: I will be very happy to use it)
