Simple ADB Backup Script is a technical method to backup Android phone to PC via ADB (Android Debug Bridge). It allows you to create backups of apps, data, and settings, often with more control than standard backup options.

How to backup Android phone to PC:

1. Enable Developer Options on your Android device:

   Settings > About phone > Tap "Build number" 7 times.

2. Enable USB Debugging:

   Settings > Developer options > USB debugging.

3. Connect your phone to your PC via USB.

4. Set up ADB on your PC:

   Download and install the Android SDK Platform Tools from the official Android developer site.

5. Run the backup script:

   The script automates commands like adb backup with specified options.

   Example command: adb backup -apk -shared -all -f backup.ab

   You can customize the script to include or exclude certain data.
