If you like to tinker with your Android device, it’s a good idea to backup the partitions on the device in case something goes wrong. With a backup you can restore your device if your tinkering causes an issue. A new app has turned up on Android called Partitions Backup & Restore.
The app does require your device to be rooted and is able to detect all device partitions including the bootloader, Kernel, and other sensitive partitions. Since it can detect all partitions on your device, it can also backup the partitions.
The app is able to backup the partitions to an SDCard or External SDCard and it can restore raw partition images. The pro version of the app can highlight all related IMEI/EFS partitions. Three different backup formats are supported.
Raw partition images can be restored using the app. Users can also archive Tar images and compressed GZ images. The app supports stock and custom ROMs. The app is 2.1MB in size and requires Android 3.0 or higher to work.
