I'd like to propose a change in the app to allow CWA to be backedup via encrypted backups.

Current Implementation

Current CWA app doesn't allow encrypted backups via SeedVault (backup App for Android, integrated in LineageOS or CalyxOS, see https://calyxinstitute.org/projects/seedvault-encrypted-backup-for-android).

Suggested Enhancement

Allow encrypted app backups :). See https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/wiki/FAQ#why-do-some-apps-not-allow-to-get-backed-up for a description of the problem and see this sample how Transport (Android app for public travel) implemented it: https://github.com/grote/Transportr/commit/4dc38f429f75909a088d8bd8a5b3b5ddd8030f71

Expected Benefits

Allows a secure and easy app backup and restore including certificates.
