Allow (encrypted) app backups e.g. via SeedVault #724

Open Diapolo opened 2 years ago

Current Implementation

Current Orbot app doesn't allow encrypted backups via SeedVault (backup App for Android, integrated in LineageOS or CalyxOS, see https://calyxinstitute.org/projects/seedvault-encrypted-backup-for-android).

Suggested Enhancement Allow encrypted app backups :). See https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/wiki/FAQ#why-do-some-apps-not-allow-to-get-backed-up for a description of the problem and see this sample how Transport (Android app for public travel) implemented it: https://github.com/grote/Transportr/commit/4dc38f429f75909a088d8bd8a5b3b5ddd8030f71

Fully support this request. :-) Encrypted offline backups should really be supported.
