Documentation missing of backup file system location #20

The README has no mention about where these backups are located on the local file system or as to what type of file the user should be looking for. This information will be helpful for a user to copy their backup files off of their old phone to move to their new phone to restore from.

I found that the data gets backed up to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.secuso.privacyfriendlybackup/files/backupData, but if you copy them between phones, then they do not get recognized. I had to export in the app on one phone and then import on the new phone to get it to work. This is not clear from the README or the in-app UI.
