Black / Whitelist to backup external data #196

Open mase76 opened 6 years ago

mase76 commented 6 years ago

Hi! Some apps store very large files in Android/data. Some other apps and games store their settings or savegames also in that path. Backing up this large files would lead to too big backup files or oandbackup never to finish. How about a black- or whitelist for apps to include the external data?

Hi @mase76! I just checked my backups and can't confirm oandbackup does backup of $SDCARD/Adnroid/data/$appid. Could yo please check?

mase76 commented 6 years ago

You misunderstood. These files are only backed up, when checked in the options. But there are apps, where I want, that they are backed up, because they store settings or savegames there. And there are apps, where I don't want that, because they store large mediafiles there.

I see. Can you share your reason for backing up the SDCARD/Android/data contents? I just can't figure out.. Thanks.

For example some savegames are stored under Android/data.
