How To Backup Your Game Saves

Wish you could backup your game saves or application data? If you can answer yes to the prior question then keep reading. OBackUpYA is my first attempt at backing up game/app save data so you can perform that much needed reset or migrate to a newer device without loosing your data.

Requirements

You do need to be rooted as this does require busybox, sorry guys. You will need a USB HDD or Storage device plugged in and with enough available space to hold the files.

You can check the required space by doing the following:

adb shell
su
du -sh /data/data/

Copy the script to the OUYA

adb push obackupya /sdcard/

To Backup All Games/Apps

adb shell
su
sh OBackUpYA backup all

To Restore All Games/Apps

adb shell
su
sh OBackUpYA restore all

To Backup A Specific Games/Apps

adb shell
su
sh obackupya backup packagename

To Restore A Specific Games/Apps

adb shell
su
sh obackupya restore packagename
