About this app
Keep the parts of your Android setup that matter.
Restore them when you switch phones, reset your device or need an earlier backup. Swift Backup gives you one place to manage local, cloud and self-hosted backups without locking you into a single storage provider.
What you can back up
• Apps and APKs
• App data and selected app settings on rooted devices
• Messages and call logs
• Folders and files
• Applied wallpapers
• Saved Wi-Fi networks with Root or Shizuku on supported Android versions
Store backups your way
Save backups on internal storage, an SD card or USB drive where supported.
Connect Swift Backup to:
• Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and Box
• Mega.nz, pCloud, Filen, Yandex.Disk and Cloud Mail.Ru
• WebDAV, including Nextcloud, ownCloud and compatible NAS devices
• S3-compatible storage
• SMB, SFTP, FTP, FTPS and FTPES servers
Designed for real backup workflows
• Create device and cloud backups
• Restore individual APKs manually without root
• Use Root or Shizuku for supported batch operations
• Keep multiple app backup versions, add notes and protect important backups
• Schedule recurring backups to device storage or a connected cloud account
• Group apps with labels and apply custom backup and restore configurations
• Use incremental folder backups to store changed files efficiently
• Search apps, share APKs and manage backups from one clear home screen
Root and Shizuku
Root is not required to back up APKs, messages, call logs, folders or wallpapers.
Backing up and restoring private app data requires root. Some protected app files and batch restore actions require Root or Shizuku, depending on your Android version. See the FAQ for exact requirements.
Premium features
• Cloud backups for apps and folders
• Scheduled backups
• Backup history, notes and protected backups
• App labels
• Custom app backup and restore configurations
Sign-in and encryption
You can use Swift Backup anonymously and offline for local backups. Google Sign-in is required for cloud backups and Premium features. Browser-based sign-in is available on devices without Google Play services.
Backups are encrypted, except APKs, expansion files and wallpapers. Backups are tied to the Swift Backup account used to create them, so use the same account when moving to another device.

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.

Simple, clean and easily extremely powerful for anyone that needs to keep their phone up to their backup standards. With root, the experience has been a dream. I've since then lost root, but still use the app for the small stuff. No regrets in my decision to acquire the premium version at all. A small fee for an amazing service. Thanks, Swift team!

It's almost the perfect app. Unfortunately, the lack of system app support makes it difficult to give it a perfect rating, as things like Gboard or Gmail that are installed to the system partition can't be backed up. I don't need the APKs backed up. Just the data. Is there a way to back up ONLY data for both user and system apps? It would save a lot of space in my storage. All I need after a fresh install is just the data. I always install apps by download. Still, this is a great and easy-to-use app. Kudos!

System apps are tricky and I think most users don't know stuff before messing up with system apps (Accidental uninstall of a critical app). But restoring only data could be a good idea. I hadn't considered it before. I'll surely look into it for version 3.0 (Work has begun on it already). Thanks for the detailed feedback!
