Certainly going to try that out! 👍 Too bad adb backup is deprecated. Are any viable alternatives on the horizon?
in reply to CryptGoat

@cryptgoat If your device is rooted, Adebar has a (not yet widely tested) alternative in the tools/ directory.

IIRC starting with Android 12, "adb backup" will no longer pull app data (unless the app is marked for debug), so the problem indeed is close. Imagine they'd do that to your PCs backup tools – that'd be an outcry! So I wonder why it's OK with Android…

Might need to test work-arounds like using bmgr directly on-device and pull the results. Suggestions/help welcome!
