So I am using adb
to copy all of my Android files to my Windows PC with this command: adb pull -a /mnt/sdcard C:\backup
And when it's done it says all x amount of files have been pulled, I can confirm that the number of pulled files matches the amount of files that reside inside the folder of my Android storage but when I check how many files are actually in the C:\backup
folder, I see about 200 missing or in other words adb skipped about 200 files and did not copy them over to my C:\backup
folder.
I understand that this could be due to path limit or due to some files containing characters in their filenames that Windows' NTFS file system just doesn't allow.
How can I see what files are actually being skipped? Is there a switch in adb
or some trick?
su
part and adapt the path.adb exec-out 'tar c /storage/emulated/0/123.txt' > 123.tar
but it just creates a corrupted tar archive./mnt/sdcard/
is internal storage and it is also the same as/storage/emulated/0
and no, I am not trying to pull things from a MicroSD, I am trying to pull all the files in the internal storage's root directory.
