After 2 years I thought it was time to make another release of #Adebar – though it contains only minor changes (like adjustments for Android 14+15):

@IzzyOnDroid@floss.social Do I understand it correctly, that Adebar uses the command 'adb backup' as its main engine? I thought that this command doesn't make reliable backups anymore and more and more apps disable the ability for them.

@MichaelZ@norden.social You do understand correctly. Unfortunately, the adb backup command was pretty much castrated from around Android 10 onward, and no replacement provided. So reliable backups cannot be done with that anymore.

If your device is rooted, Adebar provides replacements for backup/restore, too – otherwise, you can still use it for device documentation. Sorry, not much that can be done about that (apart from using a companion app, which I cannot provide).
