July 31, 2021

Go to the settings on your android device. Then enable the developer options, enable USB debugging. Then set a tic to enable the settings

Here you can find the commands to back up your data

First, install these packages to manage everything more elegant

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

Plugin your USB cable and accept the access

adb start-server

adb backup -apk -shared -all #or you can use also this command
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f mybackupfile.adb

To restore everything you can use this command

adb restore mybackupfile.adb
