Backups not restoring properly across devices #462

@ThatGuyDTS

Description

@ThatGuyDTS

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a backup with a library with several categories and several entries in each
  2. Send the backup to a different device. (I have used google drive, signal, telegram and a wire all seem to have issues)
  3. Restore backup using the restore function in the app

Expected Outcome

The library should have been replicated on the destination device as it is from the original device.

Actual Outcome

I created a backup, and when sending the backup to a different devices, several mangas would not appear in their respective categories. For example, some of them should have 29 different titles, but only have 11. The data loss is seemingly random, I suspected the AniList "Reading" and "Planning to read" flags as the culprit, but It doesn't seem to be so. The loss is thankfully isolated to the library and thankfully does not delete entries from AniList itself.

Error Logs (if applicable)

No response

AnymeX Version

3.0.9

Operating System Version

Android 13 on the recieving device, Android 15 on sending

Device Information

Nothing Phone 2/Fiio m21 DAP

Additional Information

I am unsure if it is a fault in my process, faulty backup from the source device, faulty restore on the destination device, compression (maybe?). I am unsure if it is relevant, but I have github gist sync on. I have used different ways to send the file to the other devices, most commonly wirelessly, but the issue has persisted throughout. this issue has occured since v3.0.4 when I first used it, as well as in v3.0.7 and it persists in v3.0.9
I checked if the issue has been raised before, I don't seem to see anything. I see someone wants library sync, but that is different and a lot harder to execute I would presume.

Submission Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues to confirm this is not a duplicate.
  • I am using the latest version of AnymeX. If not, I have provided a reason for not updating.
  • If this is an issue with an extension, I should be opening an issue in the extension's repository. [Will Close This Issue Automatically]
