Where Does DataBackup Store Archives on Android?
Where DataBackup keeps schedules and backup archives on Android for restores and full moves.
Last updated
DataBackup splits Android state two ways: backup archives in shared storage for restores, and schedules with rules in app private storage. Only archives survive reinstalls alone on every phone.
Copy archives off the phone as well as on it; wipes erase local copies. Schedules rebuild fast while archives take hours. Root features need re-granting on every new install regardless of copies made, without exceptions.
