Android App Backup/Restore Script For Windows
Simple Python3 script to generate batch file for Windows to backup/restore Android apps
Original idea from https://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=566&t=3019116
Usage:
Just update the params in main(), then run create_script.py to generate a batch file to backup/restore your Android apps.
Please note that the save APK option may not work for some apps :(
Batch file usage:
Connect your device to PC. You probably need to enable USB debugging and PTP transfer.
Then run the batch file. After the first check, you will see the menu with items.
-
Backup [app name]: Save backup file in /backup in file name of yyyymmdd_packagename.ab
-
Restore [app name]: Try to restore your Android data by reading packagename.ab in current directory.
You probably NEED to COPY the backup file from /backup then RENAME it (by removing 'yyyymmdd_').
File structure:
- /reference - has the original batch file (manager.bat) and a generated batch file as example
- /backup - batch file will save backup files (yyyymmdd_packagename.ab) here [package name is refer to app id in script]
- create_script.py - the python script to generate batch file
- batch_template.txt - template file for script
- AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe - required, I just copy them
