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

Changelog
v2.0
- Fixed bug with app.db not being backed up properly.
- Use sceIo instead of stdio for i/o handling.

- Support files larger than 4GB.
- Add options to delete backup files from the restore menu. (Press cross to select files, then square to delete.)
