[Bug] Neobackup and Whatsapp both backing up at the same time, causing system lock up #897

Open fluoriteByte opened 3 months ago

fluoriteByte commented 3 months ago

Description When booting from a cold boot, both whatsapp and neo backup launch at the same time, neo backup tries to backup whatsapp while whatsapp also tries to back itself up to google drive, if whatsapp wins the race condition and starts uploading at the same time that neo backup starts backing up its data, then they both softlock, which somehow cause my entire system to lag and glitch horribly

This has happened twice, this time i made sure to kill whatsapp before it started backing up

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Boot from cold
  2. Both whatsapp and neobackup start backing um at the same time
  3. Whatsapp starts uploading and neobackup starts backing up whatsapp
  4. White screen on both apps and glitchy behavior on system ui

Expected behavior Neoback up and whatsapp do their backing up duty

Screenshots I couldn't really screenshot since that was also one of the bugged things before i rebooted two times

System Information(please complete the following information):

so, why do you plan backups at a time when the device is off?

or does NB backup when it shouldn't? (which would be another kind of bug, may be related to another one)

Its just so happened that i booted at the same time that i scheduled the backup

This bug has since happened to me 2 times, all of them related to whatsapp decided to back up at the same time

so, what do you think, how to solve this?

we definitely will not look for all the apps that could possibly run a backup, find out how to detect that, etc.

delaying the backup could be a workaround, but in general I wouldn't want to delay the schedule.

btw. NB can be scheduled at a certain time, perhaps you should better ask the WhatsApp developers to add a time?

You could also disable pauseApps... or just not backup Whatsapp, when it has it's own backup?

Alr, im going to exclude whatsapp from my backups 👍
