Same here on CRDroid 10.4. Did did work before an earlier CRDroid A14 versions.

Actually it's the same as with https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Backup/issues/858

Hey, that's my bug :D

I've experienced this bug as well as the SMS one, but I want to say that the WiFi AP data does get restored SOMEWHERE.

Here's what I did:

1. Backup old phone with lots of WiFi APs.
2. Check the backup; all of the APs are in the XML file.
3. Restore the backup onto new phone. Even after a reboot, the Saved WiFi APs list in Settings is empty.
4. Make another backup of the NEW phone with the "empty" WiFi AP list.
5. Check the XML file in the NEW backup, all of the APs are there.

So Neo did indeed restore the APs somewhere, which it then took a backup of. But clearly it's not the right place.
