Hi @tmo1 thanks for the work. I tested it, and it seems to work well once you exclude the app from battery optimization.

Thanks for testing!

Without that though, the app get killed in background and triggers the backup when you open it again but I guess it's expected. (same issue with other sync apps I use)

Hm. I implemented scheduled backups via the currently recommended WorkManager framework, the documentation of which claims:

In addition, WorkManager adheres to power-saving features and best practices like Doze mode, so you don't have to worry about it.

According to everything I've read, the scheduled backups should run regardless of whether the app is open or not, although they could be delayed by as much as six hours if the device goes into Doze mode:

Apparently, though, some phones do their own aggressive battery optimization, which can prevent background tasks from working properly:

What phone are you using?

I'll keep it running for few days to see if I find any issue.

Thanks - please do report any issues!

Backup the call logs also (or expose the selection in preferences)

I intend to - I wanted to get a basic working implementation out, and then refine it afterward.

With call logs backup and restore working, the app won't really be just sms-ie anymore, will it? laughing Maybe you can look for a more inclusive(pun intended) name for it.

:)
