How do I back up apps?

[long tundra]

When I long press an app, I see an option called backup, but when I click it, I get the error no valid server found. But, I can still refresh apps and update themj fine.

Switch anisette servers

Settings > scroll to find anisette servers > macley

Wait

Uh idk

[long tundra]

Maybe... But If I can sign new updates and refresh, I don't see why backups fail, is it a case of some servers disable that function? or can they?

I’m not entirely sure if there’s an option for that. Personally, for me, when I deactivate an app, it auto backups as well. Can’t confirm if this is normal though.

It’s normal, which anisette server do you use? I use the default and when I deactivate, it tells me no server found even though I was able to update sidestore

[short acorn]

I use the default one as well

Huh... maybe it’s a bug, perhaps I'll try again.

Failed to deactivate [APP] No valid server found

pretty sure backups are broken rn

[long tundra]

Maybe that could be something to bring up to the development team sometime

did u deavtivate app?

[long tundra]

I don't understand your question?

[barren gust]

when u long press on an app there is a button called deactivate

in sidestore

[long tundra]

Yes, that's what Iclicked on, as well as the standalone backup option

[barren gust]

try changing the anisette server

[barren gust]

as suggested here

Know what, I will! 🙂

Maybe it is a matter of which servers allow it, problem fixed only, deactivating an app just causes it to loop and reactivate, but given that I only wanted to back up data, it’s fine.
