Where Does Migrate Store Backups on Android?
Where Migrate ROM tool keeps app backups and zips on Android for custom ROM moves and restores.
Last updated
Migrate splits Android state two ways for ROM flashers: flashable zips with apps and data in shared storage, plus helper settings in app private storage. Recovery does the real moving on every flash.
Back up before every flash; wipes erase everything not in the zip. Data restores per app with permissions re-granted on first boot. Keep zips off the phone as well as on it for safety, without exceptions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move apps to a new ROM with Migrate?
Flash the Migrate zip in recovery after the ROM, then restore data through the helper app. Apps travel as packages while data restores per app. Verify critical apps boot before wiping backups.
Where are Migrate backup zips?
Open Migrate and read the backup directory. Zips land in shared storage with helper metadata beside them. The field always shows the live path after changes.
