It lets you unpack backups into a directory structure and repack them back into .ab format, with optional support for encrypted archives when pycrypto is available.\n\nThe package provides both a CLI interface (android-backup-unpack, android-backup-pack) and a Python API for integration into scripts. It has no runtime dependencies beyond the optional pycrypto for encryption support. However, the package is in alpha status and has not been actively maintained since 2018, so compatibility with current Android versions and modern Python environments is uncertain.","worth_installing":"No. The package is dormant (last release 2018, no updates for years), marked as alpha, and has high install friction due to source-only distribution. The optional pycrypto dependency is itself unmaintained and may fail on modern systems. If you need to work with Android backups, verify first that this tool works with your target Android version and Python environment, or consider whether a more actively maintained alternative exists."},"id":"android-backup","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/android-backup","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/android-backup.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/android-backup/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-06-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"android_backup","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Unpack and repack android backups"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":149087,"position":11003,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.0"}
