I want to backup some apps and app data in a zip file and be able to restore it into a device.

It's okay if I have to use something like shizuku to enable backups.

Works with ADB or root. No shizuku support, but you can just pair with wireless ADB so you don't need a computer.

How does it do with restore on a non-rooted phone?

I'm not sure, I only use root. But I would imagine it would be quite similar, root isn't needed to manipulate those directories (for user apps anyways) just ADB should work fine.

I just set up webdav on my server (in docker) and "Round Sync" on my phone. Tested for a few days, super simple, very easy.

Rules:

spoiler0. Use common sense.

  1. No distribution of APKs from unknown sources or direct downloads. You are only allowed to share from GitHub (no direct links, repo only), Play Store, F-Droid, or Aurora Store.
  2. No piracy. This includes hacking, cracking in-app purchases or bypassing forms of DRM. YouTube (Music) Vanced are allowed exceptions to this.
  3. No rooting apps allowed. This also includes hacking software or tools.
  4. No apps that require root to function. This also includes Magisk and Magisk-related software. However: If the app features extra functionality that is available if you are rooted, but it is not required to use the app it is then okay. I.e. YouTube Vanced does not require root, but it features stuff that works only with root.
  5. No software that requires ADB or patching system files. Exceptions are well-known debloaters such as UAD and other manually approved stuff. Otherwise, ADB is not a user-friendly or safe tool and discourage its usage here.

These rules are subject to change at any point in time with or without user notice.
