Expected behavior The app should continue running.

This is to prevent data changing while packaging them, or the data may be broken.

Same here, e.a Afwall+, Muzei or also Lucid Launcher force close after backup, need to restart the phone and launch manually these apps.

Okay, is there may be any way to work around it without stopping the apps? An idea would be, after a file is backed up - check it against the original one with a checksum, and if they differ - back it up again, until they are same.

Maybe pausing app processes would work? Like how Neo Backup does it (related FAQ entry and code).

pausing seems not working:(, I've tried it before

Hmm, maybe we can add an option for each app to decide killing
