[Bug] TC cannot be included in backup #379

Open RedSteel-1 opened 1 year ago

RedSteel-1 commented 1 year ago

Hello, and thank you very much for the software :-)

Do you use TrackerControl from Google Play/F-Droid/other? F-Droid

Describe the bug There is a bug that doesn't allow backup. After I run Seedvault, I can see TC present in the "programs that do not allow backup" list. This is very unfortunate. Could you fix this?

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

This is by design, since the configuration of the device may change on a device reset. I currently have no capacity to address this. Sorry!

Ok this is sad. I'm not really sure if I get the point of "since the configuration of the device may change on a device reset". Anyway, hope this could be fixed in the future once there is capacity. :slightly_smiling_face:

The final choice to backup or not is up to the user, and the user should have this choice. "The user should be presented with the appropriate warnings. However, these are user devices. It should be the user who should have ultimate control over what the device should do and what not" "Users should have the right to extract all information which was created on, stored on their devices. Even if they have to click through scary warnings. Even if in secure"

PS, Seedvault backup is encrypted. :wink:
