How big must be the backup?
Hi all, I have got a question about the size of the backup. If I do a backup with sailfish the tar file is only 2.9MB. I think that is to small to save all picture, videos, contacts, ... Can anybody help me?
We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.
