v2021.7.16-beta (202107160) - APKs are no longer hard-linked (crash due to SELinux). - Data dir is /sdcard/Documents/vr25/migrator/. - Exclude thumbnails, input method and adb settings from backups. - General optimizations - Installer prints changelog and other info. - Inverted changelog order. - Move option is -M to prevent confusion (formerly -m). - Updated documentation & bundled terminal. Merged pull request #5 from SebastianApel/master Enhancements: - Backup /data/media/0/Android/data/${pkg} [used for pictures by ch.threema.app] - And also restore it later into the correct location (including setting the correct user & perms) - Also backup widget configuration and roles of apps into _sysdata - Wifi Config is at a different location in Android 11 - make sure it's backed up - Better approach to restoring _sysdata (handle case where file does not exist [in some cases]) Bugfixes: - In recovery mode, /data/user/0 does not exist (at least on my phone) - /data/data works - Apps were crashing without RestoreCon of /data/data/$pkg - added that
v2020.9.24-beta (202009240) - Do not remount / rw if it's not tmpfs. - Fixed backup import issue.
v2020.9.13-beta.1 (202009131) - Enhanced system data backup and restore logic. - General fixes & optimizations - Parse "codePath" from /data/system/package.xml. - Updated data migration tutorial. Release Notes - Please test whether system data backup and restore work as expected. - This version fixes several issues that affected encrypted devices and Android 11 in particular. - Nothing was done in regards to the "MIUI 12" bootloop issue. The root cause is still unknown.
v2020.9.11-beta (202009110) - "-m" option and M sub-option (as in -beM) to move hard link backups to /data/media/0/, so that they survive factory resets. When launched without the -m (move) option, Migrator automatically moves hard link backups back to /data/migrator/local/, for convenience. /data/migrator/ is inconvenient, but more private than /data/media/ and /data/media/0/. - Auto-generate sample /sdcard/Download/migrator/packages.list. - Backup/restore LineageOS-specific Android settings as well. - copy README.md to /sdcard/Download/migrator/. - Enforce Unix line endings (LF) in /data/migrator.conf before parsing it. This ensures config files written on Windows Notepad or other CRLF-loving editors still work as expected. - Exported backups are now imported to local/ as opposed to imported/ in /data/migrator/. This means the "i" flag, as in -ri is no longer necessary/valid. - Fixed: "migrator" executable inaccessible or not found. - Removed long options (e.g., --backup --app) to reduce overhead. Other performance enhancements were made on top of that. - System data (D) is no longer hard-linked. Regular copies are made instead. Android dislikes otherwise. - Two flags changed: A --> b (both (app and data)), E --> e (everything). - Updated documentation. This includes data migrator tutorial, flag mnemonics (e.g., -rb = restore both (app and data)) and more. As hard as the text may seem, read the damn thing anyway and give me some feedback on it... please! Release Notes - MIUI users who face the "reboot to fastboot" issue should refrain from flashing the zip for now. - I recommend extracting zip_file/migrator.sh and running it as is - until the cause of that issue is identified and eliminated. - Usage example: "su -c sh /path/to/migrator.sh -be" - An alias can be appended to Termux's .bashrc to save time and effort, e.g., alias M="su -c sh /sdcard/Download/migrator.sh".
v2020.8.28-beta (202008280) Fixed compressed/encrypted export issues.
v2020.8.27-beta.1 (202008271) Fixed restore "data_de only" not working (Android keyboard (AOSP) was affected). Fixed settings restore issues on Nougat. Force all apps to reregister for push notifications (Google Cloud Messaging) -n|--notifications Suppress unimportant errors when restoring system data (D).
v2020.8.27-beta (202008270) Export backups to $base_dir/migrator_exported/ to prevent accidental data loss while auto-removing backups of uninstalled packages. Filter out packages already backed up ("M -bn" or "M -b --new"). Misc safety patches
v2020.8.26-beta (202008260) A comma can be used in place of "|" for regex alternation (e.g., "M -b faceb,instag,whatsa"). Added tips on using rsync in auto-backup config to sync backups over an ssh tunnel. Read package names from list, with regex support (e.g., "M -b /path/to/file", "M -b --" (for /sdcard/Download/migrator/packages.list)). Remove backups of uninstalled apps from export directory as well. Don't overwrite the log file if its size is less than 2M. Performance enhancements Skip unistalled packages from <list>". Unlike -rE, -bE now implies D too. Updated documentation. Updated bundled terminal (Magisk variant).
v2020.8.17-beta (202008170) Enhanced auto-backup logic General fixes & optimizations More intuitive auto-backup config syntax Updated backup automation info (config, Tasker script and more)
v2020.7.20-beta.1 (202007201) General fixes & optimizations Packages to be backed up can be read from a file (+ filepath or -v . + filepath). The "-v ." construct is meant for excluding user apps. However, excluded apps can still be overridden by the list following the + sign. Updated encryption information.
