Description of App

xBackup is a simple app that will allow you to back up your APT/DPKG sources and installed packages so when you restore you can restore from a backup to get all your apps installed automatically without having to install then individually from Cydia.

Please note you will have to sync your device to your computer and after restoring/updating your firmware you will have to restore from backup so that the Cydia backups are placed back on the device.

Upload your backup to xBackup server where your backup can sit safely until you need to restore then just tap the download button and your backup will be downloaded back to your device. Useful when you do not want to do a restore from backup in iTunes.

xBackup server will only hold the information needed to identify your device to your backup, Each backup contains the list of apps installed and sources. No other information is gathered or shared with other parties.
