Backup not working

[RadioactiveRadio]

I tried to backup my to-do's but it keeps saying "Something went wrong" no matter where i try to save it. I was doing it on the sd card at first and thought that was the problem but it was doing that for the internal storage as well.

Same behavior when clicking on restore.

Yes

Then it's weird.

Can you tell me what kind of device you have and what version of Android?

[RadioactiveRadio]

It's Android 8, Samsung A9 pro (2016 model)

I have this issue, too. Downloaded from GitHub releass. when I restore to-do, It says " Something went wrong"

If this is still relevant for you, can you see if everything works?

@Leonavichus
Tested on 1.4.0 and I can't create backup! It shows me "sth went wrong". In some previous versions, I created backup but couldn't reatore. In this version I can't create backup file...

I test it again and find out that I just can create backup on certain folders! I created some folders on root or other subdirectories but I just can use"Documents" folder and their subfolders and "Downloads" subfolders!

another things, I can restore them but not completely! for example when restore "task.json", just categories restored and after that when I restore "todo.json", It shows me "sth went wrong" but restore just one of my tasks in "Restored tasks" categories, not my categories.

Yes, I also just discovered this error, I will try to fix it this week.

@mojienjoyment, You can see if everything is working fine? As for the fact that the data is not being restored in your categories, I can't do anything about it yet, since isar (the database I use) will not be able to export links.

Everything are good. all my task restored! All my categories are restored (but blank). previous problems solved. backup folder problem still there. I can just choose some folders for backup folder location

No, it's not working as far as i can tell. i tried to save it but it game me the same "Something went wrong." message. And nothing happens when i click on the restore button.

I have the same issue. Android 14, November 2023 security update, v1.46 of the app from GitHub. "Something went wrong" after trying to allow giving it access to a specific backup directory.
Does the app need any additional storage permissions assigned to it?

checked app logs:

seems that the OS just somehow can't give folder access to the app
