I am experimenting with two Android phones (setting them up for my wife). I've got adb ( adb = Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.3) running on a 64 bit 3.10 kernel Linux laptop, which I connect to the microUSB port on the phones. Both phones are updated to 5.1 Lollipop.
adb backup doesn't work on the older Motorola moto G. I haven't figured out why. It does connect to Linux and show the contents of the picture folder on the Mate desktop, acting like a camera. Suggestions? HELP??? The new and acceptably brickable phone, a Motorola Moto E model XT1527, does an "adb backup" just fine. I will attempt a wipe and "adb restore" Real Soon Now. I prefer to rely on Google as little as possible, and to slim down the bloatware. Both phones will have some of my wife's patient information on them, much more on the E. While I would prefer to keep /everything/ medical on the E, my wife is has less IT discipline (hence my involvement and concern for the G). If she loses a phone, I want to be able to remotely wipe it without worrying about data recovery.
