Hello,

what data are saved via the backup? Is there a list of apps whose data are saved? And what about the android part? Is there anything saved at all regarding android? And if so, is there also a list of which app data are saved?

Thank you in advance.

I'm no expert, but here's what I just tried, this extracts (not lists) the content of the backup file;

Navigate to the saved file, then the command I used is as follows;

tar -xvf sailfish_backup_2018-02-17T11-06-01Z.tar

Then, as an example, (I use nano as my text editor) check out the contents of the saved data;

nano ./People/data/all.vcf

The content of the all.vcf is then displayed.

I have Whatsapp installed (the only Android app on my device) but I don't see any reference to it in the back up, there may be data, I just haven't trawled through everything to look.

I suspect android apps are not backed up.

but there should be a way to back up the android subsystem
