Helium is the missing app sync and backup solution for Android.
- Helium does NOT require root. All Android users can use Helium to backup and sync Android applications.
- Helium lets you backup your apps and data to your SD card or cloud storage. With Helium, you can sync app data from your other Android devices– even if they are not on the same network.
- Set up backup schedules with Helium, and never lose data again.
Heads up: Helium will not work with the Android L Preview. adb backup is broken, and will be fixed before release. On the bright side, it seems there is active work happening on that feature, and more features being added (widget state backup and restore).
