Android Backup

How it works

A tiny Go binary starts a local web server on port 8765. Open your browser, pick a device, browse to a folder, and click Start Transfer. Everything runs entirely on your machine — no cloud, no account, no data leaves your network.

Everything you need

No installation wizard. No cloud. Just ADB and a browser.

USB & Wi-Fi ADB

Connect via cable or wirelessly. Pair over USB once, then go cord-free. Multi-device support — handle several phones at once.

Pause & Resume

Stop mid-transfer and pick up exactly where you left off. Files already at their full size are skipped automatically.

Android file browser

Navigate the full Android filesystem. Rename, delete, or move files and folders directly from the browser.

Built-in file viewer

Preview images, videos (with seeking), audio, PDFs, and text files without leaving the app. Files are cached locally.

Real-time progress

Live transfer queue with per-file logs, done/skipped/failed counts, and a filterable file log panel via WebSocket.

Private by design

Runs entirely on your local machine on port 8765. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud upload — your files stay yours.

Quick start

Up and running in under two minutes.

Install prerequisites

You need ADB (Platform Tools) in your PATH and USB Debugging enabled on your Android device (Settings → Developer options → USB Debugging).

Download & run

⊞ Windows (PowerShell)

# Download the latest release
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/bkrajendra/android_backup/releases/latest/download/androidbackup-windows-amd64.exe -OutFile androidbackup.exe

# Run it
.\androidbackup.exe

$ Linux / macOS (bash)

# Linux x64
curl -L https://github.com/bkrajendra/android_backup/releases/latest/download/androidbackup-linux-amd64 -o androidbackup
chmod +x androidbackup && ./androidbackup

Open your browser

Navigate to http://localhost:8765. Your connected Android devices appear immediately — select one, browse to a folder, and click Start Transfer.

Wi-Fi tip: Connect via USB first and run adb tcpip 5555, then unplug the cable. In the app, type your phone's IP address in the Connect field and click Connect.
