After a backup/factory reset/restore dance here are some things that I'm missing:

  • Wifi passwords/settings
  • my accounts
  • the Jolla account that I entered after factory reset is gone, but I had it entered before backup and that one is not there either. My CardDav account survived, but e.g. my email account is gone.
  • app menu ordering / subfolders
  • ambience settings
  • ringtone settings
  • tethering settings

Most of what you list is simply not part of the backup system, but account stuff should have been restored, albeit account related things don't always work when they are restored, for example email accounts have a problem with the original passwords, which default to.....'default', reentering the password usually fails, so ultimately, its best to scrap the faulty restored account and plumb it in again from scratch.

Most of what you list is simply not part of the backup system This might be the current state of the system, but, from the point of view of an end user, asking that these settings are backed up and restored correctly is a perfectly legitimate feature request / bug report.
