What's the app data backup/restore story on GrapheneOS?
My understanding is that even with pseudo-D2D (device-to-device) transfers Seedvault doesn't backup everything[1].
Are there more-functional, non-root, local (non-cloud) alternatives?

- lucb1e 4mo agoNot without root, no
- handedness 4mo agoSeedvault is still woefully insufficient, but it sounds like there's work being done to replace it. I can't imagine the enterprise crowd will overlook that and I'm hoping the Motorola partnership enables faster development.

Seems to schedule/backup/restore just fine, even cross-device. Gets all the apps and files I care about. Incremental runs are slow but efficient (<1MB transferred). I have some UX gripes and would prefer if key and snapshot management was more flexible but the sentiment I see seems to be rooted in the earlier days when seedvault was more naive. Look forward to a GOS-native solution all the same.
- handedness 4mo agoThanks for your report. I'll give it another look.
