Recently I did a backup of my android using adb. I wanted to find my pictures from this backup so I extracted the .ab to a .tar file using Nikolay Elenkov's extractor. In the tar file I can't seem to find any photos. Did I mess up the backup or are the photos located somewhere else?
-shared
in your adb command when taking backup? In fact, please mention theadb command
you used to take backup.adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\USER_NAME\backup.ab
-shared
backup and found that the stuff is stored under the folder namedshared
. Actually, the whole SD card structure is preserved and I was able to find camera images insideDCIM
folder and the rest of the images is in the folders equivalent to in the actual SD card. Do you not have such folder?apps
