if you use an AOSP based ROM, give Seedvault another look since they merged device2device-transfer in the beginning of the year https://github.com/seedvault-app

- TwoNineFive 2y agoSeedvault is not a good backup solution. The devs who promote it don't have a lot of credibility. It basically doesn't work half the time and they know it, but pretend it's great to pad their resumes.
- flas9sd 2y agodid you base your impression for 'half the time' on a version that can't skip the allowBackup=False app manifests via d2d ?
- TwoNineFive 2y agoEven the core LineageOS and Graphine devs spend time disparaging it on reddit and twitter with comments like "It's not a very good app." and "Unfortunately Seedvault is still unreliable." Those are direct quotes. I think it was back on LineageOS 16 that it was actually broken for the entire release. It wasn't even possible to do a basic backup at all. Google for "site:reddit.com does seedvault even work" for dozens and dozens of examples.
- flas9sd 2y agowhy pad my opinions with outdated quotes if I can have first-hand experience? it's a good tip I gave on recent developments and your objections aren't convincing. Latest Lineage/Graphene both include in their forked seedvault repos a current enough version to check out d2d-transfer, give it another try.
