Directory classification #118

If there would be an option to detect the previously backed up file to restore the items it would be good.

Coz if we transfer the files to another directory and get them back to the directory to which we backed up.. it would be messy.

In shot.. an option to choose from where the app should get its files to restore them.🙂

Thank you for making this wonderful app.. without setting a payment option or paid version.

You mean something like an anchor to locate the backup files?

ghost commented 1 year ago

Yes bro, An option to choose where are the files that you had backed up earlier.

DataBackup is forced to be the root dir of the backup, now we can choose it manually in settings. E.g, /storage/emulated/0/DataBackup is the default path, assume that your earlier backup is under /storage/emulated/0/$somewhere_else/DataBackup, that's what you can set in settings.

And it's also a great idea, will take it into account.

I got it. But I was saying about, a toggle that would allow us to choose where to pick up the backed up files to restore the items..

Like..

[Choose directory you want to restore from]

Thanks,

Not everyone is like you, so down to earth. Thanks again
