MyBackup Root released for FREE on the Android Market

[sremick]

I actually have MyBackup Root running a full backup of APKs+data right now.

It's been running for 6-7 hours or so now. So no points for speed, unfortunately. Rather disappointing.

 

[MarkHirt]

It shouldn't take that long

 

[reinbeau]

No, it shouldn't. Mine took an hour, and I've got a lot on the phone. Something is wrong there.

 

[lexluthor]

I have like 350 or so apps to back up (some of them are system apps, I guess) and I think it takes between an hour and an hour and a half.

 

[sremick]

Yeah something definitely wrong. I killed it and re-ran it overnight. Ironically, this morning it had stalled at the same place: "Backing up Application Titanium Backup"

Rog: you still out there?

 

[doniago]

Just thought I'd pop in to say I've been watching this thread with some interest, shame it doesn't sound like the product is quite at the point of being reliable enough for my comfort levels yet.

The aforementioned comfort levels took a bit of a hit yesterday when I tried running a different backup solution and it froze mid-restore. Phone turned out fine, but that was enough of a close call to make me timid about trying anything else right now.

MyBackup Root should work without this trouble. There is always some phones where some issues exist, and it could even sometimes be completely unrelated to the application.

I recommend people to try the application for themselves, and if you have any issues, we can be reached any at support@rerware.com

Emailed that address earlier today. Happy to work with you via email to sort this out whenever you're ready.

I have bought MyBackup Pro and am now trying the root version. Is there a plan in the near future to allow people who bought pro to backup online. I need my market links backed up so root is my option. Backing up online would be helpful.

The Pro users of MyBackup do not need to also have the Root version, as the Pro version will have all the ability of root access, simply turn on the option in the Menu->Options of the Pro application, and all the Root ability will be there!

Root is a subset of Pro. Uninstall root, reinstall pro and enable root features in the settings.

 

[CriticalCritic]

Does this app selectively break and/or restore app links to the market? Just curious, since that is the 1 and only reason that I ended up purchasing titanium backup.

 

[rogcontact]

It will not break links, and will restore the link to the applications you restore that have the link backed up.

I noticed something yesterday, once my weekly backup reaches 5, weekly backups stop. I thought it was supposed to keep the last 5 not just 5

Running MyBackup Pro v2.6.0

Did you update to V2.6.0 recently? Are you running the Pro or Root version?
Best to contact support@rerware.com

 

[MarkHirt]

Just Pro, was running Pro and Root until you cleared up the confusion about Root vs Pro

I'll let it run for 5 weeks

Hi. I tried it. I think i couldn't backup my contacts, which WERE on my phone. And that's not the only problem. Let me start from the beginning...
I downloaded, used it to backup my apps, I saw it was successful, so I used it to backup my contacts. Then I changed my ROM, from jpu to jpy (best, by the way). I tried to download mybackup root, but it didn't load, said it could be installed only on 1 device. Weird, this phone is my only phone... So i had to download mybackup trial. It could restore my apps successfully, like I never wiped data and flashed a new rom. Very successful on that. But when it came to my contacts, it seems it never backed my contacts(the ones on the phone) up or it just couldn't restore them. I saw that some of my contacts were on google, and mybackup root backed them up, it restored them. Now i have duplicates of all. I said delete when notification popped up(you deleted too many contacts it said, and i chose delete them).
Now what?

 

[drewcam888]

Thanks I never saw the root option in the pro version before.

 

[rogcontact]

A lot of people did not know that we do have root ability, this will help people find out that they can actually backup the Data+APK+Market links with MyBackup!

Hi Rog,

thanks for the great app. Unfortunately since the update a day or so ago, the scheduled backup didn't happen for the first time. I deleted the schedule and re-set it and hope this takes care of the issue (I'll see tomorrow morning). I'm running an Epic 4G from Sprint, rooted, but on the stock 2.1 ROM. I'll report back either way.

 

[rogcontact]

After updating the app, we recommend that you restart the phone to make sure that the schedule continues to run. It should work without a reboot for most phones and ROMs, but we have noticed that a few phones\ROMs do need to be rebooted!

 

[Nagual]

Indeed, deleting the old schedule and setting it up again worked. Thanks.

Now what?

Anything about that? I can't install MyBackup Root, it says it can only be installed on one device, and I have only one device.
And it couldn't restore my contacts to my phone, it just duplicated the ones on my google account, of course I didn't use MyBackup Root since I can't install it, I used MyBackup trial version.

 

[rogcontact]

beer-in-box: You can install MyBackup Root on as many devices as you want, there is no restriction in the application for this. It only restricts when you go to restore a backup onto a different device than the one it was created on.

When you use Gmail sync for contacts, sometimes it creates duplicate entries in your contacts database, but then merges them into a single visible contact. Once the sync is complete, it will merge them into 1 if there are dups.

 

[beer-in-box]

Okay rog, I will try it once again. But that merging the contacts thing, it didn't work. Now I have 700 contacts, while there should be 350.
The damage is done, so I have to find a way to fix this.
But didn't it back up the contacts on the phone? it said it backed up them all.
