Errors while running. #118

Device info

Manufacturer: Samsung Android version: 13 Custom ROM/rooted? - No Model: Galaxy Note 20

System info

Available disk space: 320gb Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04

Describe the issue below.

Everything was going great, and then I got these messages and after them, I got kicked out -- everything was going well before this and I didn't really have any problem with the setup, which I had completed and the program was just doing its thing. I went without hooks, if that's pertinent.

I'm unsure if the backup is complete, just short a few things, or if it's just corrupted now. There is 9gb in the backup-tmp folder.

Fully admit this could be user error, but I really have no idea what's going wrong!

All help appreciated!

Try using the adb exporting method (the script asks you for it at the beginning). Maybe your phone doesn't support the default one.

Hey yeah, I ended up doing that and it worked. Thanks so much for your time!
