VitaBackup is a minimal, user friendly backup tool for the Playstation VITA. VitaBackup gives the user 100% flexibility on what they want to back up on their device.(Please look at editing backup config below).

Currently the way it works is that it packs all the contents of a folder, or file to a single .tar file. After this is done, it adds the .tar file into a .zip file and compresses it if the user selects a level of compression.

Features

  • Backup multiple folders/files into archives.
  • Restore multiple folders/files into archives.
  • Ability to delete backups created by the software.
  • Offer 11 levels of compression. (0 being no compression, which is usually recommeneded)
  • Select backup location. (ur0:/ or ux0:/)

User guide

VitaBackup gives the user full flexibility on what they want to backup. The user can decide on a name and path in the following format:

Modify the path.txt file in ur0:/data/VitaBackup/path.txt and add entries in the following format: 

[name]~[path]

Example: 

Trophies~ux0:/user/00/trophy
Licenses~ux0:/license

If it's a directory do not put a forward / at the end of the path.

Controls

Cross - Select item

Start - Begin backup/restore process

Restore menu:

Cross - Select files

Square - Delete files

Changelog

v2.0

  • Fixed bug with app.db not being backed up properly.
  • Use sceIo instead of stdio for i/o handling.
  • Display instructions in backup/restore screens.
  • Removed light theme because it didn't fit well, and just took up a lot of space. (There is no longer a theme mode, because this is just a backup tool, we don't need that here.)
  • Support files larger than 4GB.
  • Add options to delete backup files from the restore menu. (Press cross to select files, then square to delete.)
  • Add 11 levels of compression using miniz. (0 being no compression, which is generally recommended)
  • Add more valuable data to initial backup list. (ur0:/data/VitaBackup/path.txt)

v1.10

  • Completely re-structured the backup process:
    • This gives the user 100% flexibility on what they want to back up.
    • The user can decide on a name and path like so:
    • Modify the path.txt file in ur0:/data/VitaBackup/path.txt and add entries in the following format: [name]~[path]
    • Example:
    • Trophies~ux0:/user/00/trophy
    • Licenses~ux0:/license
    • Do not put a forward slash at the end if it's a folder.
  • Prevent home button and auto-suspend during backup/restore process.
  • Only display scroll bar if we have more than 5 files.
  • Use the proper enter/cancel buttons depending on your device's region. (JP uses the "Cross" button to cancel items)
  • Backup archives have their timestamps separated by a '-'. (Example: some_file-2018-02-08.tar)
  • Added a light theme in options. (Thanks to Berion for the design)
  • Added minor touch controls in options and main menu.

v1.0
