## Partition Backups (pbt)
|
||||
|
||||
This binary static C library is for backing up partitions of android devices.
|
||||
It offers a lot of options. I will place these below. But first let me talk about the operation...
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. The partition name is obtained (with the -p or --partition argument)
|
||||
2. Other arguments (if used) are processed.
|
||||
3. It is backed up using DD. If the progress is not a problem, it is not given (DD)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Presented arguments (options)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Usage (arguments):
|
||||
-p, --partition name of the partition to be backed up
|
||||
-l, --logical know that the partition that will be backed up is logical
|
||||
-o, --out the output name of the backed-up partition (default: partition name)
|
||||
-d, --outdir directory where the backup partition will be saved (default: /storage/emulated/0)
|
||||
-c, --context it is meant to specify a custom /dev context. Only classic partitions (default: /dev/block/by-name)
|
||||
-D, --list list partitions
|
||||
-v, --version see version
|
||||
-h, --help see help message
|
||||
-L, --license see license
|
||||
|
||||
Example 1:
|
||||
-p boot_a -o boot_slot_a_image -d /sdcard/backup -c /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name
|
||||
|
||||
Example 2:
|
||||
-c /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name --list
|
||||
|
||||
Report bugs to <xda-@YZBruh>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if we want to back up the `boot_a` section: `pbt -p boot_a' (edit the command if it has a different name).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Some notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Feel free to ask any questions you want.
|
||||
- Packages are available in publications.
|
||||
- it is mandatory to use the `-p` | `--partition` argument. After all, a partition name is required to be backed up.
|
||||
- If the logical partition flag is not used, a classic partition is tried to be backed up by default.
|
||||
- Let me know your suggestions!
