Description

From the listing uploaded by “myrestore”.

Featured on Android Police, CRAB allows you to schedule a time to back up your device. If you ever damage your device and need a recovery, CRAB will have made one just last night. No longer do you have to manually back up your system! Last nights backups are deleted before the new one is made so always have a current backup. Make sure you have enough space on your backup location for the backup to work. Root and a custom recovery that supports openrecoveryscript (IE: TWRP, CWM) is required for CRAB to function. Enjoy!
