About this app

Keep the parts of your Android setup that matter.

Restore them when you switch phones, reset your device or need an earlier backup. Swift Backup gives you one place to manage local, cloud and self-hosted backups without locking you into a single storage provider.

What you can back up
Apps and APKs
App data and selected app settings on rooted devices
Messages and call logs
Folders and files
Applied wallpapers
Saved Wi-Fi networks with Root or Shizuku on supported Android versions

Store backups your way
Save backups on internal storage, an SD card or USB drive where supported.

Connect Swift Backup to:
• Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and Box
• Mega.nz, pCloud, Filen, Yandex.Disk and Cloud Mail.Ru
• WebDAV, including Nextcloud, ownCloud and compatible NAS devices
• S3-compatible storage
• SMB, SFTP, FTP, FTPS and FTPES servers

Designed for real backup workflows
• Create device and cloud backups
• Restore individual APKs manually without root
• Use Root or Shizuku for supported batch operations
• Keep multiple app backup versions, add notes and protect important backups
• Schedule recurring backups to device storage or a connected cloud account
• Group apps with labels and apply custom backup and restore configurations
• Use incremental folder backups to store changed files efficiently
• Search apps, share APKs and manage backups from one clear home screen

Root and Shizuku
Root is not required to back up APKs, messages, call logs, folders or wallpapers.

Backing up and restoring private app data requires root. Some protected app files and batch restore actions require Root or Shizuku, depending on your Android version. See the FAQ for exact requirements.

Premium features
• Cloud backups for apps and folders
• Scheduled backups
• Backup history, notes and protected backups
• App labels
• Custom app backup and restore configurations

Sign-in and encryption
You can use Swift Backup anonymously and offline for local backups. Google Sign-in is required for cloud backups and Premium features. Browser-based sign-in is available on devices without Google Play services.

Backups are encrypted, except APKs, expansion files and wallpapers. Backups are tied to the Swift Backup account used to create them, so use the same account when moving to another device.

Simple, clean and easily extremely powerful for anyone that needs to keep their phone up to their backup standards. With root, the experience has been a dream. I've since then lost root, but still use the app for the small stuff. No regrets in my decision to acquire the premium version at all. A small fee for an amazing service. Thanks, Swift team!

I migrated from Titanium Backup (which hasn't been updated in years). This app is pretty good in concept. It worked well for most apps when I recovered from a phone wipe. The big problem is that when you try to restore all apps at once, some don't restore, and this halts the process. I had to spend a long time manually restoring all my apps and skipping the ones that fail by trial and error. They need to get this working with more apps and let their app skip when it fails to restore!

I've been using this app for a long time, it works like a charm and helps me a lot when I'm moving apps around. However, there is one problem. Whenever I upload my apps to google drive, format my phone, and try to restore, it says that there are no backups. I hope there is a fix for this! Edit: Thank you, all works perfect now :)

If its a new device or perhaps a new rom that has changed the build model of existing device: Please open SB, go to 'Cloud sync' tab from the bottom bar and check if you have multiple cloud tags. Switch to the tag you used earlier. Kindly update the review if this information was useful. Thanks!
