> Seedvault is still woefully insufficient

Ever since seedvault implemented local D2D API for app data availability and changed their repository format (inspired by restic's hashing) I've grown to trust seedvault enough that it's my sole phone backup.

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.

Thanks for your report. I'll give it another look.
