Backup lost

Open victorjagu opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

Hi there, My phone has just updated (Samsung S21FE non root) to Android 15 and somehow waistline data has been deleted (not only settings, but also diary... Everything). I have the automatic backup activated but the copy has gone too (when press "import", it redirect me to "download" folder and the automatic backup is in the data folder). So, in order to avoid this strange behaviour, I would like to change automatic backup location, so I can automate a backup to my cloud too. Is it too difficult to implement it? Thanks!

That's right, on Android versions 13 and above, Waistline writes all backup files to storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.waist.line/files. Unless something very weird happened on your phone or you uninstalled Waistline, the backup files should still be there. You should be able to access them by connecting your phone to your computer with USB or by using this file browser app from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marc.files

Wow yes, thanks!! I have restore it! Thank you so much!!!

On the other hand an trying to avoid more "heart attacks", why does waistline doesn't show the different backups (instead, it goes to "downloads")? Maybe an android limitation?

Anyway, thank you, I have restore everything 😊
