Add bells and whistles when backup sync breaks #537

I've setup SeedVault (or actually "Backup" app on CalyxOS) to do backups to Nextcloud. My Nextcloud app (from F-Droid) seems to be working without any issues ever since I've set it up. However when I looked into SeedVault today to check if a particular app gets backed up or not, to my very big supersize I has to see that Seedvault didn't do any backups in 2 months!

I think there should be a very prominent warning when backups fail repeatedly!

This is depending on being able to even recognize this dangerous situation. So, this depends on https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/issues/290 imo.

Can you please post or send the output of adb shell dumpsys backup (it may include data considered private)?

I've sent the dump on a private channel.

Okay, here are some more screenshots. So here's what my list app backups looks like right now:

As you can see, a lot of apps are not getting backed up, they're in "waiting to get backed up ..." state.

Another peculiarity is that when I scroll through app backup status in SeedVault, I see "Waiting to back up ..." a lot. For only 4 apps I see "Backed up 21 hours ago". However in SeedVault settings it claims "Last Backup: 3 hours ago".

This is pretty confusing, I think it should track successful backups and backup attempts separately and display something that makes more sense ...

Inside my Nextcloud in the Uploads section there's a list of failed uploads from SeedVault. Juding from the error message it seems Seedvault might have already deleted the backup files, before Nextcloud had a chance to upload them?
