[Bug] Old backup files are not detected on new phone #782

Closed Lightfire228 closed 11 months ago

Lightfire228 commented 11 months ago

Description I just switched from a Pixel 5 to an S23 Ultra, and copied over the backup folder using syncthing. However, on the new phone, the list of backups and restores is empty

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Acquire a fresh Android
  2. Copy over NB backup folder (using syncthing)
  3. Install NB
  4. Restore list is empty

Expected behavior The app provides a list of found backup files, even if the target apps aren't installed

File Picker when choosing backup folder ![Screenshot_20230801_131718_Files](https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Backup/assets/15241322/8f3e317b-6550-4fa8-99f3-abd66bae3867)

Additional Notes

I noticed the space in the ~/Backups / path in Amaze file explorer, and removed it, but that didn't fix it.

Additionally, the target path in NB looks mangled: content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/primary%3ABackup%2FNeo%20backup/document/primary/%3ABackup%2FNeo%20backup.

The actual target path on disk is ~/Backup/Neo Backup/

It looks like this is an issue of file path encoding between NB and the file picker

Edit: the path in NB looks the same on my Pixel 5, and it's fine, so I have no clue

I would renavigate to the directory where you placed the backups using the "Backup Folder" button in settings.

@MrEngineerMind I did

I updated the issue with a screenshot of the file picker (at the bottom)

I think I might've figured out what the issue is

Yup, I didn't check to see if all of the files transferred correctly

I just did an adb pull and adb push, and they're all there
