Feature Request: Merge two encrypted backups #53
Comments
I'm in exactly the same situation and would also donate. Is there a BountySource page somewhere? |
I also am in need of this function. |
I don't want to hijack this thread or the users of this program, so please forgive me and delete this message at will. For those interested I have implemented this feature in my tools: https://github.com/bepaald/signalbackup-tools. It is highly experimental and as of yet untested, so expect errors. Instructions are here: bepaald/signalbackup-tools#4 (comment). Feel free to open an issue asking for help on my github if something is not clear or not working. note (I do plan on adding support for the new database format, but it might take a long time. Also, merging old databases into new ones seems, at first glance of the new format, very difficult, so that would take even longer) |
Before having encrypted backups Signal did not allow proper transition from an old phone to a new one, it only allowed the text export and import and media were lost.
So I kept the old phone until Signal introduced the encrypted backups. In the meantime I have used Signal on the new phone. Now that Signal has proper backups, I made an encrypted backup from my old phone. Now I would like to merge my old backup with the backup of my new phone.
I guess this request is related to #44.
Would be great if you could manage to do that, I would consider a donation.
