With Titanium Backup unmaintained, Neo Backup [1] works pretty well. It has some potential issues with restoring wifi/bluetooth/sms as those were still experimental, last I used it.

I run a nightly backup (via neobackup [0], requires root) on my phone that backups all APKs and data. With a webapp, I’m at the mercy of the app itself or firefox storage data with no granularity at all. [0]: https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Backup
