How to create TWRP backup of your phone along with data and apps?

Create TWRP Backup

TWRP stands for TeamWin Recovery Project. It is an open-source Custom Recovery image for Android devices. It provides touchscreen enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware, modded zips, custom ROMs and Backup & Restore the current system which are functions often unsupported by stock recovery images.

If you have recently flashed a Custom Recovery i.e. TWRP Recovery or if you are going to install new Custom ROM, flash any missing zip in your phone, it is recommended to take entire backup of your device with TWRP recovery.

After flashing TWRP Recovery, you can do a lots of things on your phone like rooting your phone, flashing modding zips, installing custom ROMs, etc. But while doing this, there might be problem with the files like incompatible, corrupted or wrong files. Flashing such files result to bootloop, firmware, software damage, etc. To be safe from such accidents, make sure to take a backup of your phone.


To take a entire backup of your current system along with data and installed apps, follow the below steps:

  1. First of all, reboot your device into Recovery Mode. This process differs depending upon your device. Click here to learn how to reboot your Android to recovery mode.

  3. Enter the name for your backup or leave it default so that TWRP will automatically generate name for your backup depending the date and time of the backup.
  4. Choose the paritions you to backup or Choose Boot, Data and System (Recommended).
    Choose Which Partition To Backup
  5. Click on Select Storage and choose where you want keep the backed up files. Using USB OTG or MicroSD Card is recommended. Make sure that you have enough free space on your storage for backing up your system. If it doesn't have enough free space as required, the backup might be interrupted and you can't restore it if the backup is incomplete, so be careful in it. After choosing storage, click on OK.
    Choose Location To Backup
  6. After completing steos 3, 4 and 5, swipe the ▶▶▶ on Swipe to Backup area. Your backup process will start and complete in few minutes depending upon the backup size.

  7. After the Backup is complete, you can go back and click Reboot > System.
    In case if you see a window like shown below, tap on Do Not Install. If your phone is already rooted and you swipe, problem might appear in your phone. So, better tap Do Not Install. If your phone is not rooted and you want to root it, skip this, you can manually install official and latest version of SuperSU rather than provided by TWRP.
    TWRP Install SuperSU

After the backup is complete, keep the backup safely. If any errors occur in your system while installing a new zip or a custom ROM or your device gets stuck in boot loop/ boot logo, you need to restore the backup in order to bring the phone to the previous condition. If you lost or delete your backup, you need to flash a new ROM losing all your data. So, to avoid this, keep it safely. Copy it to your PC or Pen Drive. In case if anything happens to your ROM, you can simply restore the backup and get everything including apps, data, etc. as like during the time of backup.
