But isn't it quite useless to backup WA when it's all encrypted and you can't backup the key?

- ilpianista 1y agoThe backup key is shown the first time you enable encryption.
- fransje26 1y agoWould you happen to have good resources detailing the process?
- ilpianista 1y agoPretty much what I summarized back in 2019: https://scarpino.dev/posts/automated-phone-backup-with-syncthing.html https://scarpino.dev/posts/automated-phone-backup-with-synct... Nowayadays Syncthing is no more maintained due to some PlayStore drama, but Syncthing-Fork is a good replacement.
- fransje26 1y agoI'll start from there, thanks!
- saidinesh5 1y agoThank you for this. Just adding this here: There seems to be an issue with recent Android apis that make file access painfully slow that it wasn't able to sync my data in 1 full day. Enabling the "Case Sensitive FS" option on the folder helped a lot. https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/issues/1088#issue-2131325830 https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/issues/1088#...
- amlib 1y agoI guess they've changed this in the last 2 years or so because last time I checked they kept your key hostage and only allowed transferring all data, including the key, to a new phone.
- ilpianista 1y agoI'm using this method since 2020 or even before. I've never ever enabled the backup on GDrive.
- amlib 1y agoIs your phone rooted?
- ilpianista 1y agoNo, it isn't.
