Using the backup and restore function with adb (as discussed in Full Backup of non-rooted devices) there is no progress available and often it is very hard to follow the adb logcat output as long there are much more background events than the BackupManager.

While backups often takes up to 1.5 hours (on my Nexus7) and restore often gets stuck or takes up to 2h i'm asking myself

is there a (native, i.e. w/o root) way to

  • get a progress while taking a backup
  • progress on restore
  • statistics (bytes written per second), estimated time for backup/restore etc.

any tools (adb wrapper?!) available to archive this?

You can provide a filter spec to adb logcat so you just see the BackupManager output. I think "adb logcat BackupManager" will do it, but I can't find doc on the filter spec .. – P.T. Nov 25 '12 at 18:47
yes, but as I noticed some apps are throwing errors while backup what isn't recognized by BackupManager. BackupManager often tells me "all things went fine in the end" even if most operations failed.. so filtering for "BackupManager" will not help as I can see – childno.de Nov 26 '12 at 7:07
