BACKUPINFO File – What is .backupinfo file and how to open it?

BACKUPINFO File Format

A BACKUPINFO file is a metadata file associated with backups created using Aroma Backup, an Android backup application. It contains information about the backed-up files and directories, including their paths, sizes, and timestamps. The file also stores additional metadata, such as the backup version, compression settings, and device-specific information. BACKUPINFO files are essential for restoring backups created by Aroma Backup, as they provide the necessary information to identify and locate the backed-up data.

Usage and Compatibility

BACKUPINFO files are typically located in the root directory of the backup archive and have the file name backupinfo.Aroma. They are compatible with Aroma Backup on various Android devices and can be used to restore backups from previous versions of the application. However, it’s important to note that BACKUPINFO files are only compatible with Aroma Backup and cannot be used with other backup applications.

Additional Notes on BACKUPINFO Files

BACKUPINFO files contain information about the backup configuration, including settings like compression, encryption, and backup filters. They play a crucial role in the restore process, as they guide the software on how to properly restore the backup.

If you do not have Aroma1997 installed, you will not be able to directly open or utilize BACKUPINFO files. However, you may be able to find third-party file viewers or editors that can extract the metadata from these files, providing you with limited information about the backup configuration.

Backup Functionality and Compatibility

BACKUPINFO files primarily serve as metadata for backups created using the Aroma Backup & Restore tool on Android devices. These backup files are comprehensive archives that include app data, settings, internal storage content, and even the current ROM. BACKUPINFO files contain crucial information about the backup, such as the device model, Android version, backup size, and timestamp of creation. This metadata facilitates the seamless restoration of backups onto compatible devices, ensuring that apps, data, and settings are correctly re-installed.

Role in Recovery and Customization

BACKUPINFO files play a pivotal role in recovery scenarios, particularly during custom ROM installation or troubleshooting system issues. When flashing a custom ROM, it is essential to create a backup of the existing system using Aroma Backup. The BACKUPINFO file associated with this backup serves as a roadmap for the restoration process, guiding the recovery software to locate and restore app data, settings, and other critical elements. Additionally, BACKUPINFO files allow users to customize the backup process by selecting specific apps or data to include or exclude, resulting in tailored backups that meet their individual needs.
