After reading the actual changes: from Android 12 onward, Google Drive backup and device2device transfer are separated and can be deactivated individually. So, it should just work...

@pstorch @rgmf Do you have devices to test this? I am still running Android 11 and it might be take quite a while before I get an upgrade to 12.

[pstorch]

My device is still on Android 11.

[rgmf]

Yes, I can test it on Android 12.

It seems you only can transfer data app from one device to another the first time you start your destination Android device, right? In such a case I'd have to reset my phone to test it.

@rgmf you are right - on Android 12 adb backup is not doing anything anymore. So, it is really only for switching to a new device...

[pstorch]

Oh, and I hoped local (adb) Backups will be allowed then. 😔

[dennisguse]

@pstorch ... me too :/

If this works, it works - if not then not.
