Summary
Swift Backup is a comprehensive Android backup solution that protects apps, messages, call logs, folders, and files across local storage and cloud services. It supports scheduled backups, cloud integrations, and advanced batch operations with Root or Shizuku, all while keeping data encrypted. Not ranked in any top list.
Pros & Cons
- Broad cloud storage integrations from Google Drive to Mega.nz
- Supports both local and cloud backups for flexible storage
- Root and Shizuku support enables advanced batch operations
- Encrypted backups and offline options enhance privacy
- Root/Shizuku requirement for private data backups may limit non-root devices
- Cloud backups require Google Sign-In, which may deter privacy-conscious users or devices without Play services
- Media backup coverage (photos/videos) may be narrower compared to some competitors

Fantastic root backup solution, many thanks for your continuous support. Can you please consider adding an app lock 🔒 for it, using pin or device credentials?

Works just great for my testings in my phone with root, if anything happens, or I switch ROMs, Swift Backup feels like the best option to save your data

Buying cloud storage then again buying subscription to store the data + Wi-Fi bills. This is not a convenient way. Multiple options are already there. If swift backup provided its own cloud storage then it will be worth taking a subscription. Nobody going to waste money on buying two different subscription when there are better alternative. I was using the swift backup for 4yr now swift backup broken the trust.

What a nightmare. I backed up apps before resetting the phone, once it's done I went to restore, this app asking me to root your phone to restore your apps. Also sms restore takes a lot of time. 🤦🏻♂️ Thank God I didn't purchase this app.

Doesn't back up to cloud. No place to start a Google Drive backup. Hence, couldn't restore. Also, no restore button.

Give it shizuko access but still can't backup data ... it is still asking for root even it is recognizing shizuko...
