About Neo Backup
Neo Backup is a backup manager for Android that saves installed apps together with their data and restores them later, including on a new device. It can run backups on a schedule. Because it reads other apps' private data, it needs a rooted device.
It is a continuation of the older OAndBackup project and is licensed under the AGPL-3.0. The project is actively maintained, with FAQ, troubleshooting notes and a list of app restore experiences in its repository.
