  • What is the current state of GOS's new backup solution?

Hello, I am wondering about the current state of the new backup solution set to replace seedvault in future versions of GOS. When can users of GOS expect a more ideal backup system? Has development or planning started yet?

I recently had to switch to a new phone and reconfiguring the whole thing was a real pain. I had a bit of an "accident" with my old phone if you know what i mean. Apps, system settings, photos, etc. A backup solution that could run on a set schedule in the background to a network drive or something like that would have been really handy. I am currently able to auto-backup my most important files with syncthing, which works reasonably well, but without a proper backup solution I am fairly paranoid about losing or breaking my phone. And walking past storm drains is much less fun than it used to be.

Anyways, please let me know how this project is progressing. Im sure many others are curious about this as well. Thanks!

There is no ETA for this. It is a large project to do it right, and priorities have to keep shifting to address other things.
