About OpenAndroidBackup

Open Android Backup is a local backup and restore tool for Android devices. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The homepage describes it as a shell script with a Flutter companion app, and it was formerly called Linux Android Backup. Backups are stored on the computer and packed into 7-Zip archives, so the data stays readable without the script. The homepage says backups and metadata are encrypted and compressed by default.

The tool backs up photos and videos in original quality, internal storage, contacts exported as CSV, a list of installed applications, and call logs exported as text. SMS messages and call logs cannot be restored at the moment, and app data is not saved because of Android restrictions. The homepage says a cable is still needed for initial setup, though later backups can be made wirelessly. The homepage describes the project as open source, but the directory record lists open_source as false, so the licensing status is not confirmed here. Pricing is listed as free.
