Restoring app data fails: Required package metadata but got android

[2wayne]

I created a backup on lineageos 19.1 and tried to restore it on 19.1. The only thing changed is that I was on FDE before and now it should be FBE. When restoring the backup the apps get restored but when restoring app data or android settings it fails.

@t-m-w maybe you feel like digging in AOSP source code how this can happen?

Nothing strikes me as particularly obvious in AOSP at the moment.

@2wayne, what type of storage location are you using? Looks like USB. Was it backed up using USB as well, or copied to it?

[2wayne]

Yes USB. I can choose from 3 backups, nothing more on the drive.
