9 years ago I am blind or something … :/ … The partBackup is there. My bad.
But all the other issues are still relevant. I’ll just rename this issue to something more appropriate. :)
(As for github does not allow me to upload here the file directly, i just appended the .jpg extension, but still it’s a text file. You can download it by right-clicking on it.)

9 years ago Try setting ROOT_COMPAT=1 (I should make that the default, maybe).
Background: To obtain those files, Adebar uses adb pull – which does not run with root privileges unless the ADB daemon does, and thus cannot access several files. Turning "root compatibility mode" on, Adebar works around that obtaining those files using a different method.
Thanks for attaching the partPackup file – unfortunately it seems Git doesn't want to be tricked. Instead of showing/downloading the file, it simply displays an error message in the browser. Maybe you just put it on pastebin.com and link here?

commented
9 years ago Well, of course it displays that error while left-clicking on the link, because github assumes it’s a real .jpg file. However, I can’t see why are you not able to download the file from here – you need to right-click the link, clik on Save Link As, rename it to partBackup and you’re good to go. :)
Anyway, it is also on pastebin.

9 years ago Wonderful – thanks! So we can count /pric/dumchar_info as "working as expected" (and I can remove the "testing needed" remarks on that – done at 27a5d88) – apart from line 28, which should not be there. Could you please pastebin output of adb shell cat /proc/dumchar_info?
How did the "root compat" change work out for you? Files obtained now, so we can close this issue?

9 years ago Well, I think it does nothing actually, at least not for me. :/
Here is the list of all my files after the latest backup:
$ find .
.
./userrestore
./userbackup
./docs
./docs/deviceInfo.md
./docs/sysApps.md
./docs/userApps.md
./defaultInstallLoc
./sysrestore
./conf
./conf/build.prop
./conf/hosts
./deadReceivers.sh
./sysbackup
./disableThere is now wpa_supplicant.conf file, for example.

9 years ago Adebar output would help: any errors displayed – and if so, which? If you're using your own config file meanwhile, increase the value of PROGRESS (e.g. to 9 – there's no level that high, but it makes sure all info/debug messages are printed).

Adebar done.No errors. The output is the same if PROGRESS variable is either 3 or 9, it does really matter (as far as I undertand it correctly, 3 is currently the highest verbosity set by you as a programmer).
IzzySoft
commented
9 years ago The output in your last post reflects PROGRESS=1 – and the command you've executed (./adebar-cli progress/) made sure no config was used. As described, you must pass only the name of the config file as parameter (e.g. if your config file is config/bu, the call must be ./adebar-cli bu – no trailing slash, and the config file must reside in the config/ directory).
In fact, the highest verbosity level used is currently 5 – but everything above 3 is rather debug. For your missing files, level 2 should be enough – and we then need the output immediately following Pulling configuration files.

9 years ago Okay, now I probably got it.
I need to set STORAGE_BASE variable to the directory in which I want the backup and then after issuing the command ./adebar-cli bu the backup will be there.
Actually, now it works. Thank you for your patience with me.
Just one more question. How successfull is it in restoring a backup? Let’s say I make a factary restore, flash custom recovery (TWRP), root my device and restore the backup from ./adebar, will be everything working just like it is now, or would there be some need of tweak?

Adebar done.How successfull is it in restoring a backup?
Adebar itself doesn't do much backup/restore (though it pulls some stuff, that's more for reference/documentation) – it generates the scripts for you so you can backup/restore, saving you from doing that manually. Remember, when you do a complete backup via ADB, you also can do a complete restore only (no picking of separate apps). Adebar instead generates scripts to backup everything separately, so you can pick what to restore. So how well backup/restore itself works is up to ADB.
I've used those scripts myself a couple of times. Always adjusted little things manually (mostly to skip stuff I didn't want to restore). Had no issues so far.
Well, actually there’s one error in the output:
Talking about the "Oops"? "Oopses" are just pointers that there is stuff I didn't encounter yet, where more information might be obtained. You might have noticed that one again is MTK specific (remember, I have no MTK device). If you're interested in that, I suggest we deal with it in a separate issue – as everything now seems to work fine (and your output seems to indicate that), I'd prefer to close this issue – so I can go releasing v1.3.0, and then we can investigate new things (like your Dual-SIM feature – or this "oops".
If that's fine with you, and the original issue solved: Please close, so we can go on :)

9 years ago Restoration
So you mean that after making a restore, it would look like it aws before factory reset (of course, with keeping in mind the known issues)? Actually, I think there are no settings backed up, are they? (I mean system-wide settings.)
I know that adb's backup is either all or nothing. Still, adebar another advantage – the backup’s smaller in size, though the downside that restoration require connection to the Internet and therefore is as fast as the connection is.connection
Oops
Okay, no problem with that. Yes, indeed it is an MTK specific one. Okay, I created new issue here.

Not many. Mainly those config files. Everything else goes via ADB – which is not a complete backup (adb backup e.g. has no access to your SMS/MMS and a few other things, plus apps can "opt-out" of it by setting ALLOW_BACKUP to "No" – but that's nothing Adebar can do anything about.
the backup’s smaller in size
I never calculated that. As said, Adebar only creates the scripts you must run in order to backup stuff – I've never compared resulting file sizes, but as those scripts doing nothing but utilizing adb backup, I'd wonder if that results in smaller size.
though the downside that restoration require connection to the Internet
Huh? What for? It can use "the Internet" to retrieve app names – but I don't see where it requires an Internet connection for restoring stuff. The restore scripts again are nothing but calls to adb backup.
I’d like to closed #3 issue, but I am not able to do so – probably only developer or contributor can do so.
And the one who opened it – I did that many times on other projects I'm not part of. But no problem, as you indicated you agree to that, I can do it now. Thanks a lot for your collaboration! I'll go and make the next release then (soon, currently I've got some other tasks to absolve).
I pulled new devel branch repository and enable
PARTBACKUPsetting inconfig/bufile, but after I ran./adebar bu, some files cannot be found. Here’s the latest output (I enabled some more verbosity in theconfig/bufile):Following files do exist in my system
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf,/data/misc/wifi/softap.conf,/data/system/packages.xml,/data/system/usagestats/usage-history.xml.File
/system/etc/gps.confdoes not exist. This might be because I never had gps turned on. :)In the
config/bufile, there are some settings (read: variables :) …) which I don’t really understand what exactly they do. For example, there’s the following setting:I have a rooted phone and I can access root shell in
adb(in two steps,adb shellandsu). I just don’t know if I should enable it or not.
