Comment on GrapheneOS partial offline backup?

ArchRecord@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

GrapheneOS has Seedvault integrated in Settings > System > Backup, where you can choose what you want backed up, back it up into a file, then transfer that file anywhere you want.

You can then restore a backup from the three-dot menu in the top right.

I haven’t had to do restore yet myself, so I’m unsure how well it restores, say, text messages, to an existing client on your phone. (I’m not sure if it replaces your existing messages or not)

As for Signal, I believe it now supports restoring up to the last 45 days of message history from your device. (Even after wiping your messages off Signal from your phone, leave the app itself, as it has totally innocuous files that definitely don’t possibly harm police hardware used to crack phones embedded in it.)
