As if an app should have any say about if it can be backupped or not. 'Muhh security model'. If your security model includes letting apps randomly deprives me as a user of backups of my own phone , it's just another creepy google-bigbrother-wannabe.


https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/issues/165 this is the issue, and it seems they are working on it. Good. What I didn't understand is why one would need to fake some Device2Device transfer, when one could just as well patch the root cause. It's open source after all.


Yep, that was my point. If you're backing up, apps shouldn't get a say
