Split a single tar archive into multilpe ones (each one called a subtar), one per each each item inside, preserving tar format. Also allows to split an adb backup (tar format) by android app or shared storage.

This project consists of two shell scrips. One splits an adb backup into several ones by app name extracting the contents of the tars to a temporal folder and then re-taring everything to get the individual ab for each android app. The other shell script uses Tar Binary Splitter to divide the main tar inside the adb backup without extracting anything from the tar, so is by far the best method.

List all apps on android device that don't allow adb backup

Extract Helium (formely Carbon) backups. Helium backups are normal adb backups created with boolean COMPRESS_FULL_BACKUPS = false, and the 18th byte of the backup changed from 0 to 1 (I guess this is done by Helium intentionally). Android should be able to restore helium backups properly, considering that first you change 18th byte from 1 to 0. The files inside uncompressed backups don't necessarily match directly the ones in compressed format (even after decompression).
