## 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
|
|
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example, if we want to back up the `boot_a` partition: `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!

### How is it built?
|
|
Even termux is enough to build the pbt. Or you can compile it with linux if you want. NOTE: Use a custom gcc according to the architecture you want to compile.
|
|
|
|
If you want to change something, take a look at the configuration. You can change him.
|
|
it is located in the `mka` folder. His name is `config.mk`. I gave the information in the file. You can ask more.
|
|
|
|
To build;
|
|
```
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Special `make` commands (pbt offers :) ;
|
|
```

Commands;
|
|
make ==> Build Partition Backupper
|
|
make clean ==> Clear files (Builded binaries are not deleted)
|
|
make clean-all ==> Clear files (Builded binaries are deleted)
|
|
make install-termux ==> If you are using termux, it installs the compiled pbt into termux. So it allows you to use it like a normal command.
|
|
make help ==> Display help message
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I compiled it with termux :D. Why should I bother... I compiled it with `GCC 17.0.6`. You can look at the version with the viewing option :)
