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.

Current 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:/)

Editing Backup config to allow for more backups:

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.

Changelog

(v.2.0)

• 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)

(v.1.10)

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)
