Feature request: root access #153

Open TimoWilken opened 1 year ago

TimoWilken commented 1 year ago

My phone is rooted (through Magisk) and I'd like to backup some directories on my phone that aren't available through the normal Android APIs, such as my Termux home directory at /data/data/com.termux/files/home (well, the file picker actually allows me to pick this directory, but it crashes restic-android) or my WhatsApp media at /sdcard/Android/media/com.whatsapp.

Would it be possible to support root access to back up directories like these?

My phone is not rooted but I can backup most of the files, including WhatsApp => https://github.com/lhns/restic-android/issues/116#issuecomment-1763332338
