About Adebar

Adebar stands for Android Device Backup and Report. It is a collection of Bash scripts that works with ADB and generates files for backing up and documenting an Android device, including separate per-app backup scripts for user apps with APK files and data, data-only backup scripts for system apps and shared storage, and HTML reports on device information and installed apps.

Adebar does not create backups itself; it generates scripts and pulls selected files for the user to run separately. Several functions require a rooted device, including partition images, Wi-Fi configuration, packages.xml on Android 4.1 and above, call logs, cell broadcasts, and user dictionary. It reportedly works on Linux, Mac and Windows via Cygwin, and requires no compilation.
