#seedvault — Public Fediverse posts

Since @calyxos has resolved it's issues and has published current versions again, I've flashed my #FP4 which is running #Android 16 now and is back on OTA updates.

I've used #seedvault for the first time and I'm very impressed! This was the best set-up process on a phone I had so far. Seedvault restored nearly everything without any issues. Thank you so much!

⚠️ Don't update from /e/OS 4.0 to 4.1.1! The main reason is that @murena removed #Seedvault. They replaced it with their own backup app (based on Seedvault as I've heard) that only can backup to their own cloud! The problem with this is that you now have to pay for a backup, because who has a backup below 1GB. 🤷🏻

Yes, you've heard it right, #Murena goes vendor lock-in! It's now 100% clear that it's not about a Google alternative, but about their own payed services (what is just a customized Nextcloud).

There are also some other bugs, that only will be fixed in 4.2 or 4.3, but nothing about the Seedvault removal. So people can't choose their backup location anymore. Multiple people asked on their forum, but no definitive answer was given. See here: https://community.e.foundation/t/feedback-for-v4-1-1.

This is not their first time they messed it up. They also removed Material You, so they force you to use blue accent colours.

Hopefully someone knows how to safely migrate to #LineageOS or another reliable custom ROM for a #Fairphone 6?

Has anyone tried reinstalling #CalyxOS on their phone? Did you use #Seedvault to restore the data?

"Hi. It's me. I'm back"

Moto G32 now running the phoenix risen #calyxos and gradually getting everything back together.

The #seedvault backup worked very well, no glitches at all, but will be a few days of fiddle about.

@heiseonlineenglish Google Cloud backup is not Android backup.

The only Android backup application I know of is #Seedvault https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault

Google refuses to integrate offline backup functionality.

@leeloo Seedvault has been a good backup for me, even tested after a manual update of a community ROM.

@vanessacardui backup... Tja, das geht ja quasi eh nicht wirklich bei Android. #seedvault ist ja leider Käse...

Naja, schauen wir mal was passiert...

Today I Installed #GrapheneOS on a #Pixel 10a, which went fine. But transferring apps, files and settings from my old #LineageOS phone isn't happy.

I can't back up with #SeedVault on the old phone, and restore that backup on the new, which is mildly infuriating - either using my #NextCloud or a USB pendrive.

I also can't manually transfer my Signal account across - the phones can't "find" each other even though they're right next to each other.

Hat jemand aus dem Kreis der #GrapheneOS oder #LineageOS Nutzer eine Idee, warum #Seedvault Backups immer wieder abbrechen?

Zu Beginn meiner GrapheneOS Zeit hatte ich mein #Pixel8 mit Seedvault jeweils auf einen USB-Stick gesichert. Das ging gefühlt 10 mal gut, der Rest waren Abbrüche.

Also #Nextcloud und #DAVx5 eingerichtet, was 10-15 stabil lief, dann immer wieder abbrach und nun bricht Seedvault nach ca. 80% regelmäßig ab. Gibt es vielleicht funktionierende Alternativen?

Taler-Wallet sichern mit Seedvault

Taler sind wie Bargeld. Wer seine Taler nicht sichert, verliert unter Umständen alles. Dieser Artikel zeigt, wie man die Taler-App mit Seedvault sichert. Doch Seedvault dient auch dazu, ein Custom-ROM Android komplett zu sichern.

Přechod mezi telefony je na Androidu pořád hodně práce

Konečně je GrapheneOS dostupný také pro Pixel 10 a já na něj mohl konečně přejít. Jak jednoduchá byla migrace na nový telefon? GrapheneOS má nejpokročilejší zálohovací/migrační nástroj, jaký jsem na Androidu zkoušel, jak ale píšu v článku, i tak je to pořád z nemalé části manuální proces.

Hello #degoogled #Android users, I want to talk to you about #backups. :BoostOK:

As in backups-to-restore-a-whole-device-from (or as close as it gets).

Like … How?

Sure, there's #SeedVault. Use with #webdav target or stow away a device-local file to a safe storage via #syncthing. The same for photos/media files.

But SeedVault excludes many apps like @signalapp or @threemaapp which has a buch of manual backup options hidden deep in the settings.

Can I automate that somehow?

Argh!🤬 #FDroid won't let me install Quickly Quit https://blog.timcappalli.me/p/preso-authn25/ on my new (to me) #PixelPro9Fold on #GrapheneOS. I had it installed in my old #PixelFold, but #SeedVault won't restore it 😢

F-Droid blocks it because it as not compatible, which is probably why Seed Vault wouldn't restore it.

My alternate solution: just pull down the menu, select the on/off icon, then select lockdown.

This prevents a power button push giggling the device and breaking wireless Qi charging connection.

@Jupp_Schmitz
Mal Seedvault benutzt? 🌱 "brauchbar"? 🧐🤣
Vollständige Backups sind Beta, leeren die Hälfte meiner Caches und loggen mich bei manchen Apps aus.
Erfolgreich war 🌱 nach einer Stunde rödeln nicht. Bei nur ca. 50GB Daten.
Die Entwickler empfehlen ein Backup auf den internen Speicher. Um es später zu kopieren 🤓
Ich sage nicht, dass #GrapheneOS und #Seedvault schlecht sind, im Gegenteil. #Android scheint einfach nicht drauf ausgelegt zu sein, saubere Backups (ohne Root) zu erstellen.

Really not looking forward to migrating away from #CalyxOS.

Even with #Seedvault backups, this is a total pain. Actually, Seedvault has been next to useless in my experience, I find ways to back up each app individually, which of course takes a ton of time and effort.

Me gustaría saber cuándo Google va añadir a #AOSP la posibilidad de hacer copias de seguridad. #LineageOS incluye desde hace bastante tiempo #SeedVault.

Eliminar ADB backup fue un error añadido al error de no permitir acceso mediante la IGU.

@frebelt Danke für die Infos! Hast du zufällig ein #Seedvault-Backup gemacht, das du wieder einspielen kannst? @schlackenfuchs @chpietsch

@willhbr I wish that #Seedvault would be installed by default in "commercial" #Android distributions as well.

I am really happy with #iodeOS. Had to reset my #fairphone. restore with #seedvault worked great. had to reinstall some stuff, but most stuff was there

More than 100,000 African #seeds put in #Svalbard Global #SeedVault for safekeeping
Seeds of 177 species from across #Africa to be stored in Norway to preserve #crop diversity in case of disaster.
Among the latest additions are seeds critical to building #climate resilience, such as the tree Faidherbia albida, which turns nitrogen into ammonia and nitrates, and Cordia africana, the Sudan teak, a tree renowned for its strength and durability.

wie sichert ihr eigentlich eure Daten vom Handy?

also insbesondere die Android Fraktion.

ich nutze auf meinen Geräten Round Sync in Kombination mit meiner persönlichen #Nextcloud (gemietet).

zusätzlich kann Ich mein älteres Handy noch dank #lineageos mit #Seedvault sichern.

Kalender und Kontakte sind mit der Nextclour synchronisiert und werden dank Fossify Apps auch zusätzlich als Datei gesichert.

ich bin ganz zufrieden.

#backup #unplugtrump #android #backups

I really like the backup function in #GrapheneOS based on #Seedvault. I know it doesn't work 100%, some apps don't support it etc. But in my case >90% of apps get backed up and restored.

This is what all Androids should have. I understand #Google doesn't want to do it because for them #Android is just a gateway to their services and when you have all your data in their cloud, you don't need such backups. But other Android vendors should have it.

So 12 hours with #IodeOS maybe a bit early for feedback. But I'm thrilled. Everything is running. Unlike #eOS I have Android 15 and #seedvault is running. I had to set up a #ntfy server (hello #uberspace) so #moshidon (#fdroid) pushes, but that's not bad.
I know there are even freer #androids out there, but for me it's a mix of privacy, simplicity and a whole lot of good feeling.
Also important: it has to run on the #fairphone5, because I specifically bought it for sustainability.

To my surprise, Lineage OS 22 SeedVault worked near perfect to restore my apps & files to my non-root android phone from a backup in external storage.

This is the first time SeedVault has produced an acceptable result, apps which didn't get restored properly might be their own fault.

I'd like to explore and find out what makes SeedVault tick, then one day I might finally have my dream of perfect offline data restoration to a Lineage OS device.
