How to restore work profile #571

Open Mynom opened 9 months ago

Mynom commented 9 months ago

Is restoring the work profile (on another device) not really implemented yet?

It looks like shelter is creating a new profile (new 12 words)

And I cant find any option to "restore the work profile" before running shelter.

Am I missing something? Are there any tricks / adb commands to restore?

I don't know about Shelter, but CalyxOS runs the setup wizard on new workprofiles that let's you restore.

Soon, we'll be implementing https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/issues/309 which will help with this issue. However, we still need to figure out how to restore other backups made with different 12 words.

thinking out load: when starting seedvault for the first time, we could ask whether the user wants to restore from a previous backup or start fresh.

So this would enable users eg. to clear seedvault's app storage, copy a seedvault backup dir maybe from a previous phone, start seedvault and restore from the backup directory without having to go through a full system restore? I'm all for it!
