Does anybody have experience with the apps Neo Backup, DataBackup or ideally both?
I would like to know if there are any differences in terms of functionality, capability or reliability? Like, is there some kind of app data, that one can backup/restore while the other can’t? Are there speed differences in the backup/restore process? etc.
I’ve searched the internet for some comparisons but couldn’t find much.
For context: I want to transfer all my apps to a new phone. In the past, I’ve used Titanium Backup for this, but it doesn’t seem to be very up-to-date anymore. Now, Neo Backup and Data Backup seem to be the most promising (besides maybe SwiftBackup, but that’s not open source and only available through the Play Store, it seems).
So now I could of course just use one app first, backup everything on my old phone, restore everything on the new one and then look through all the apps to see what worked and what didn’t. But it would be easier if I could get a hint on which one might be more suitable for my needs :)
Also, if you would recommend to use another app instead, please tell me!
1 isn’t a feature
3 doesn’t tell me much of anything
3 is a lie and not even logically sound (not even google has 100% data integrity guarantee but this project has?)
4 is barely a feature and missing context or benchmarks
5 easy isn’t a feature
6 what?
Their website and app store pages also have very little content. Meanwhile Neo Backup has tons of docs, infos and I’ve seen more people use it.

I have used Neo Backup before, worked well enough.

Tldr: Use NeoBackup
Yeah, your points really do make sense. Thank you for your insights!
