Fully Backup Your Android Phone Without Root

If your Android device is not rooted yet, you won’t be able to perform NANDroid backups. I wouldn’t suggest to root your tablet or phone without having a proper backup, because there is always a chance of error and you don’t want to brick your device.

Holo Backup let’s you create a full backup of your device without root access and is the perfect solution for users without root access. The free program also offers a restore function and runs on Windows and Linux.

A Multiplatform GUI application that uses ADB Backup to make full backups of your phone/tablet.

One of the best uses of ADB Backup is backing up Nexus devices before unlocking the bootloader,which wipes the device. You can then simply restore the backup to have your device in the same state as before.

How to Run :

On Windows, simply run HoloBackup.exe.
On Linux, run HoloBackupLinux. Running the binary as superuser is no longer necessary.

You can also run it from source on either platform, just move the script for your platform from the /src/ directory into the parent directory.
