It doesn't seem possible to exit the app while it backs up without killing the backup process

One really nice feature will be to display all backed up apps as a list, not like backup date folders. I can't remember when I backed up some app and will have to search through all of the backup folders to find it ...

Oh, and a scheduled backup will be nice. I will be following this app with great interest. Thanks.

Hi, the folders allow for multiple backups per app. You can have multiple folders and each one can have their own set of app backups.

1. You can assign your own names instead of the date/time which comes by default ( A dialog appears asking for the backup folder name when you are about to start backup ).

2. You can long press on any folder's name to see the list of apps inside it (Although this feature is a little buggy, it will be improved in future releases).

3. Scheduled backups are next on my list.

Press the home button to minimize the app, although it is not recommended, as the Android system can kill the app if it is minimized and the system is low on RAM.

You should have a notification with progress bar, like downloaders, music players, etc.
That way you can make sure it does not die until it is done.

Looking forward to developments

Nice one! You're changing the game in the world of the backup apps. Finally a working & easy app!
I can't trust my files to an alpha version, but I'll be using it and provide feedback until a stable version comes out and so I maybe then use a prem feature! Let's all we help you to do this faster!

[MENTION] @NikitoGR[/MENTION]Ha ha, thanks. I'm trying to finish up everything as fast as I can, but it's easy to make mistakes if I rush things.

Although it's an alpha, but the core backup/restore process have never failed anyone yet. Still, it would be wise to also make a backup in another app, just to be on the safer side. Stay tuned. :)

Nice looking app, went ahead and bought it, but its not working properly for me. It backs up apps fine but does not restore them. It runs through the apps real fast when restoring and says done but doesn't actually restore anything. Ideas anyone? I'm on a moto g running liquidsmooth, if that helps anything.

Please check that you have busybox installed. It will fail if you don't have it. Also make sure you have made a backup of both app and data, and not just data.

Very good app. After full backup and restore, The only features I'm missing are restoring the accounts data, located in /data/system/users/0, and also wifi data.

    Backup + has been made with the aim of being a complete backup and app manipulation program. It is in very early stages of it's development and is for now considered to be an alpha.

    HELP WITH TRANSLATIONS, CLICK HERE.

    Can backup apps without data for non-rooted devices.

    Bugs are to be expected and as an early adapter you are requested to report crashes and force-closes using the built-in bug reporter which appears when the app crashes. You can also mail me with your feature requests, suggestions and ideas. Right now it only has the basic app backup and restore functionality, but expect this app to mature with time.

    Just for the sake of clarity regarding the pro version, this app will have multiple in-app purchases for each premium feature, and not just a single pro key. This will allow you to buy just the features you need and avoid paying for the features you don't want. The total worth of all the in-app purchases will still be less than/equal to the pro keys of other backup solutions.


    Features-

    - One click batch Backup/Restore
    - Multiple backups
    - Freeze/ Unfreeze apps
    - Simple easy to use interface
    - Three backup modes (App only, Data only, App+data)
    - App backup in non - rooted devices
    - Dark/Light themes
    - Multiple app manipulation options
    - Cloud backup/restore (Dropbox)

    OK guys, after breaking my head on this issue for a couple of days I found the solution. Seems like all of you are on SuperSu version 2.46 (the stable Play Store version). I updated to SuperSu beta 2.52 and it works as normal now. So to sum it up "update to SuperSU beta 2.52" if you are on marshmallow. I will release an update of Backup+ with some bug-fixes, improvements and proper 6.0 support.

    Thanks for your support and thanks for reporting this problem


    Edit: Super Su Beta link

    The sorting in Restore tab needs to be set each time one opens app. The last chosen sort is not saved, so if I choose sort date asc/dsc I have to select it again next time I use the app.
    It would be great to have it persist, each time view is changed that setting(chosen value) should be stored and restored next time app launches, (as done in various file explorers).

    Great to see development
    Curious to know if you have any other plans for the app(new features | or other projects)

    OK, will ad sorting persistence in the next update.

    For now I am trying to add Backup to cloud, although will take some time to design all the workflow. Also stuck at a stupid error with the Google drive API.
