How to migrate with this system?

[chx]

I am trying to migrate between a rooted Pixel 2 and Pixel 4 with Magisk installed.

1. Plug in old phone
2. adb push tarb-am64 /sdcard
3. adb shell
4. su (grant access)
5. sh /sdcard/tarb-arm64 -b .
6. adb pull /sdcard/.vr25/tarb
7. -move cable to the new phone-
8. adb push tarv /sdcard/.vr25
9. sh /sdcard/tarb-arm64 -r
10. adb shell
11. su (grant access)

And it restored the applications but not their data, accounts etc.

This is weird.
Did you see data and data_de in the terminal output while restoring?
Verbose is saved to /dev/.vr25/tarb.log (volatile).

One more question, have you verified that each backup actually contains data.tar.zst, and that those archives can be extracted (using an external tool) without errors?

I verified both. But now I redid it with tarb -badsm10 . as found on https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tarb-a-backup-solution-for-android-with-recovery-mode-support.4443801/ and it worked (aside from weirdos like Duo Mobile but that thing is deliberately migrate unfriendly). It's weird indeed because I saw data and data_de on the first try.

Maybe add that option to the main readme?

Thanks for the amazing utility, I tried with Titanium and totally didn't work. I am now a happy Pixel 4 user.
