About Backup (PFA)

Backup (PFA) creates, imports, and exports backups for compatible Privacy Friendly apps. It communicates with those apps to extract their data for backup or inject it again during restoration. Backups can be exported to external storage and later imported, giving users a way to preserve app data or move it between installations. Encryption is available through a separately installed provider that supports the app’s encryption interface. Users can choose which compatible provider to use in settings. Backup provides a shared export and restore workflow for apps that support its integration, while encrypted backup depends on having an appropriate provider installed.
