[Feature Request] Backup dual apps

[mkcs121]

Please add backup for dual apps and support backup of apps of other user ids

Define what "dual apps" is. There's many things that can be understood under "dual apps" e.g. dual apps in launcher, duplicated apps…

If this is about supporting work profiles, then it's a duplicate of #795 #772 #583 & #845

It is apps installed using different user ids, for Xiaomi, dual apps is achieved via user id 999 if I am right. Neo-backup only backup apps in user id 0, isn't it?

User profiles are generally isolated from each other by encryption.
The work profile is a bit different, but has it's own complications.

So, installing NB in that user profile is the key.
There were several fixes in latest development versions (pumpkin versions, see telegram group).
I don't remember, if this is already in the latest release.

The other problem is where to save the backups.
That's also an isolation problem.
The easiest way is to save it in the users internal storage and sync with another tool.

NB uses SAF to access the backup directory.
On my system SAF offers the external storage (real sdcard) but the work profile can not write to it (despite it was opened to be written).
You can use shadowRoot with the latest pumpkin version. See the appropriate pinned messages and corresponding messages in the group.

I recommend to use NB in the other user profile and handle it completely separate.
Still you may need the fixed pumpkin apks or wait until this lands in a release.
