Hey I installed /e/ myself on my Pixel a year ago. It’s unclear to me how to easily make a good backup of all apps and/or their data. At the moment I use Open Android Backup. Seedvault apparently doesn’t work for me. I select a WebDAV location but when the backup starts it gives an error. What are the right recommendations please?
be careful with backing up to WebDAV unless it’s your own webdav backend that you can adjust / debug. Murena fronts their php with nginx and there’s a risk of things not to work, see the 0-byte issue: How to configure DAVx5 for file access? - #14 by tcecyk
I’d try a device-local backup first until successful, transfer that folder with Seedvault or RoundSync
tried this myself and found my warning confirmed with SV builtin webdav: it doesn’t work with nginx+php-fpm hosted Nextclouds atm, see the 0 bytes column:
the path is as suggested in the mask /remote.php/webdav or if it needs to be a subfolder it’s like in this doc, for example if you create a ‘backup’ folder beforehand you can do:
The .SeedVaultAndroidBackup subfolder will only be visible when “show hidden files” in Nextclouds config in the lower left is enabled.
So my comment holds: device-local folder as destination (sdcard?) and a secondary process to transfer from there. Round-Sync is both an option to use directly through SV or as external transfer tool. But I found RS hard to setup and combined with SV setup (12 word passphrase) - it all has a lot of friction.
