If the name of the app sounds familiar, it most likely is, as OAndBackupX is a fork of the oandbackup project.

XDA Member Machiav3lli, AKA Antonios Hazim, decided to re-purpose the codebase of oandbackup as the foundation of OAndBackupX. Compared to oandbackup (which has not been updated since March 2019), OAndBackupX comes with a sleek, modern user interface, compatibility with newer Android versions, the ability to handle split APKs, support for in-app backup encryption, and many more improvements.

Keep in mind that the developer has yet to add support for Android’s Storage Access Framework. As a result, OAndBackupX can’t access external SD cards or USB OTG storage mediums, although Antonios is actively working on it.

The app itself is open source, and the source code is hosted on the developer’s GitHub profile. You can find ready-to-install APK of OAndBackupX on the GitHub repo’s release section, F-Droid, and Izzyondroid. Check out the forum thread linked below to learn more.

OAndBackupX

OAndBackupX is a fork of the infamous OAndBackup with the aim to bring OAndBackup to 2020. For now most of the functionality and UI of the app are rewritten, next steps would be making it stable and adding some features which could ease the backup/restore workflow with any device. Therefore all types of contribution are welcome.
Now on functionality of our App:

It requires root and allows you to backup individual apps and their data.

Both backup and restore of individual programs one at a time and batch backup and restore of multiple programs are supported.

Restoring system apps should be possible without requiring a reboot afterwards.

Backups can be scheduled with no limit on the number of individual schedules and there is the possibility of creating custom lists from the list of installed apps.

OAndBackupX v4.0 Released (November 1, 2020)
Website
Download (GitHub)

Version 4.0.0 marks a full overhaul of the app structure and thus breaks compatibility with previous versions.

Till the version 0.9.3 there's been no structural change in how the app handles backup/restore. So you could use that version to restore the old backups, then move to the newest version and renew your backups so that they'll stay compatible as long as the logic of the app doesn't radically change.
