Our verdict on Neo Backup

Neo Backup is an open-source Android backup and recovery application for rooted devices. It is designed for users who want direct control over application backups rather than a general computer, server, or cloud backup system. The app supports individual and batch backup or restore operations, scheduled backups with custom application lists, and selected system backups such as SMS, MMS, and call logs. It supports Android 8 and newer stable Android releases.

Its strongest area is backup scope within Android applications. Neo Backup can include APKs, normal application data, external data, OBB files, media, and device-protected data. That breadth gives rooted users more control over what is preserved and restored, while optional AES-256 encryption adds protection for backup data. Scheduled backups are useful for recurring app lists, and batch operations reduce the need to manage applications one at a time. These capabilities make it a fit for users who understand rooted-device workflows and want granular app-level recovery.

The main trade-off is the required root access, which limits the audience and adds a prerequisite before backup operations can begin. Neo Backup is also narrowly focused on Android and does not provide integrations, computer backup, or server backup coverage. There is no verified ransomware protection, so it is not a substitute for a broader backup platform with additional security controls. Choose Neo Backup for rooted Android app and data backups; choose an alternative if you need cross-platform coverage, integrations, or protection beyond local app-level recovery.
