buggy Android adb backup
I tried the first time to backup my phone to my linux pc using adb backup. There are so many problems with it and people has posted them and solutions. Yet I encountered a fresh problem I haven't found: the backup process could stuck in some app. On my phone, backup app will show the apps it is working on and sometimes; it stucks at some app (one example is Turo). The backup file on my pc won't increase size and the backup app on my screen won't update. The solution is simply try to start the app that causes the stuck (it will crash, but backup will continue). When you do this, the backup app on my phone will disappear. I'll have to run 'adb backup -all' in a separate linux shell and kill it to bring back the backup app. Google could have done a better job than this.
