Adb backup does not work

Question

I need help from you guys, because I don\'t know what I did wrong with adb backup.

I want to backup my Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-I9305) without root. I googled it and fou

Answer 1

This just worked using Ubuntu 15.10 ("wily") to backup a Galaxy SM-G900V running Android version 6.0.1.

Installed using:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

Then I ran the following from the command line (without 'sudo'):

adb backup -apk -shared -all -f backup.adb

Result:

user@hostname:~/droid$ ls -lah
total 1.2GB
drwxrwxr-x  2 user user 4.0BK Mar  6 18:43 .
drwxr-xr-x 52 user user 4.0KB Mar  6 17:40 ..
-rw-r-----  1 user user 1.2GB Mar  6 18:29 backup.ab

Thank you "NG". I was beginning to think my phone was borked.

Forgot to add: Running adb version: Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
