A timely NANDROID backup of your Android device can save you from losing your precious mobile data and personalized system settings. Android users have long relied on custom recoveries (such as ClockworkMod Recovery and TWRP) to create NANDROID backups of their devices. However, there are various apps and solutions available these days that can help you create NANDROID backups without having to reboot into recovery. Developed by XDA member snoopy33, Orange Backup is arguably the finest addition to the list of such tools to date, as it supports 1-tap NANDROID backup, zipping and uploading to cloud storage of your choice. Needless to say, Orange Backup is meant to work with rooted devices only. The tool also supports scheduled backup & uploading to cloud, full, incremental or split backups, backing up user-selected partitions only, option to upload data over Wi-Fi and/or while charging only, integrated app & task manager, and lots more.


As of now, Orange Backup supports automatic uploading of backups to Google Drive, Dropbox, and any medium that supports FTP transfers. In terms of supported custom Android recoveries, Orange Backup works with both ClockworkMod Recovery and TWRP. The app is meant for rooted devices only and if you haven't rooted yours yet, don't forget to check out our Android rooting guide.
