The default value of this attribute is true.Ĭheckout the AndroidManifest.xml of this app for Lollipop version here, or see this evidence for my Android 4.2.1: If this attribute is set to false, no backup or restore of the application will ever be performed, even by a full-system backup that would otherwise cause all application data to be saved via adb. Whether to allow the application to participate in the backup and restore infrastructure. It opts out the app from both ADB backup and restore.

adb pull won't work here, as the corresponding database ( /data/data//databases/mmssms.db) cannot be read by ADB if it's not running in insecure (root) mode.

Is there any way to backup/restore SMS and MMS messages using ADB, when the device is not rooted?
