Vollaphone X23

None

Steps to reproduce the bug

1.) Activate automatic backup 2.) Try to import the latest backup file (there was a data loss) 3.) Error message: Import failed

Expected behavior

Successful import of the automatically created vcf backup file

Actual behavior

The import of a manually exported backup file is successful. The import of an automatically generated backup file fails, because it has a different structure to that of a manually exported vcf file.

Here is a screenshot of the difference between the two .vcf files.

Manual Export vcf. (succesfully) 👆

The fossify apps are integrated into Vollaphone as system apps by default. There are several users in the Volla telegram community who report the same problem.

Thanks for reading I hope you can explain or fix the problem.

I can confirm this issue.

It seems that the automatic backup writes some JSON data but gives it the file extension .vcf .

There is no option to restore the data from the automatic backup files and the manual import fails due to the wrong file format.

It will be fixed in the next version: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Contacts/issues/31.
