Whatsapp Backup

I offloaded the app and reinstall it and tried to backup and it worked well. But it worked only once. Now, again I'm trying to backup, it keeps saying "Preparing..." and never completes the process ever, and now offloading and reinstalling the app is also not working at all!

I found a working way to backup the chat but it's a workaround only as the inbuilt chat backup should function in a natural way rather than having a workaround, anyways I am sharing it here because it worked for me (I tested it twice).

I contacted Whatsapp official guys but they kept telling me that there is an ongoing issue with Whatsapp and will be fixed soon but these guys are telling lies. No fix has been given till this date. Unfortunately, I deleted that email.

I followed the workaround but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. The last backup was 12/23/2022. I hope the problem is solved by Apple or Whatsapp. At the beginning of December I also had contact with Whatsapp, but there is no solution.

But during the backup process it makes a beeping sound and vibrates every 2 seconds until its fully backed up , there is no setting what I can anywhere to disable this, it's driving me insane since its waking me and wife up at 3/4am.

Which device you were using? Updating from old enough device (WhatsApp version) can cause challenges. It is also possible that backup file has changed between. I mean that you should not assume that source and destination paths are the same.

Im struggling to understand the setup, we use Sophos Central to to manage our mobile Devices.. its set up to comply with GDPR.

My colleagues really love their Whatsapp.. and its a nightmare if the history gets lost. I'm now wondering if there is any way to do so? On iOS Whatsapp works but has no access to the users phone book, however Chat Backup is disabled in the settings, and managed by Sophos not able to be turned on.

Settings within WhatsApp will need to be controlled using the "Managed Configuration" options for the app. Looking into the configuration options available for WhatsApp currently, backup configuration is not currently possible.

Everyday WhatsApp creates a full backup of all messages and stores it in a new .db.crypt12 file.This happens every day and the files are stored up to 12 days ago. this means WhatsApp deletes the oldest file when it creates a new one.

What would be the best way to go about this? A 2 way sync?That might be safe and count as a backup sincd I cannot imagine a situation where my WhatsApp phone data gets erased, but SyncThing is still running on the phone and syncs 2 way with the server, deleting all those files. But maybe it is a risk?Are there other ways to configure SyncThing for this particular case?

I use ST to send both WhatsApp (/storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp) and Signal (/storage/emulated/0/Signal/Backups) to my RaspberryPI 3B. I only start ST after both apps have done their daily backup and then turn it off. Both folders are default send/receive on the phone and PI. A daily rclone cron job on the PI sends the backups to rsync.net, which has ZFS immutable snapshots of the last 7 days.

By default, when you create an iOS backup on Mac (Catalina in my case), it is stored under ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/. This folder contains sub-folders with unique device identifiers. Each sub-folder is a backup and contains a bunch of additional subfolders along with the following 4 important files:

Whereas, the Manifest.db file contains all the juicy info about the files in the backup and their paths. The only problem is that the Manifest.db file is encrypted and we need to use the information from the Manifest.plist file to decrypt it. If the backup was not encrypted, we could have probably gotten away without making use of the Manifest.plist file.

Sweet! All that is left is to decrypt the actual chat db. But where is it stored? Apple stores files in the backup folder in a predictable format. It puts them in a subdirectory with the name starting with the first two characters of fileID (eg 7c/7c7fba66680ef796b916b067077cc246adacf01d). We can get the full path to the chat db file like this:

Restoring Whatsapp backup is driving me crazy, it doesn't detect local backups and when I get asked to select the account to choose the box is empty and there is just "add account".

Tried to remove and sync account from that box, nothing happened.

I have a Pixel 4a

grapheneosuser I've performed a local backup recovery absolutely fine the first and only time I needed it, so it's probably not Graphene but something else of your configuration. Do you have Google Services enabled?

grapheneosuser

Sounds like you want to restore your Google Drive cloud backup of WhatsApp.

In this case you need to uninstall WhatsApp, install Sandboxed Google Play and login to your Google account.

Only after that you shall download WhatsApp from Play Store and try to restore your cloud backup.

grapheneosuser copy the entire com.whatsapp file, a few levels up from the ones you've copied, and see what happens. It's worked for me when I was having issues before copying and pasting individual folders

I have a pixel 7 and had the same issue.

The local backup must be placed in /Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/ in older Android versions was directly on /WhatsApp/

I cleared all app data, put all the old files in this folder and then after doing the setup i got the recover prompt

lucaf Hello ! Sorry to dig this post haha

I am currently having these issues. I have tried many things, but nothing works for now. Can you confirm the following path is what you have done, and if not, could you correct me please ? It would really help me ! I can't really try it since I've requested to move my account litterally too many times and I now have like 15 minutes between each new code, and I'm afraid not to be able to do it again haha

0-download the APK from whatsapp.com/android without installing it

1-copy the entire com.whatsapp folder from the old phone into my pc

2-create /Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/ on the pixel 7 without whatsapp installed

3-copy the com.whatsapp folder into it, leading to the following path : /Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/com.whatsapp (that is where I don't really know, should I copy the whole com.whatsap folder or the 3 subfolder into Whatsapp, leading to /Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media , /Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases, etc ? )

4-install whatsapp by cliking on the APK

5-following the instructions and asking for a new code

lucaf Thank you very much ! On my older phone, Whatsapp stored files in /Android/data/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/ and so I put the data in the exact same folder in my new phone, without sucess : no restore prompt. As you wrote, the data has to be in /Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/ in order to Whatsapp to be able to find the backup :-)

You need to replicate the folder structure as it was on the old device, so no leading, copy the 3 folders directly into the WhatsApp folder in Android/media/com.whatsapp. I've also found it necessary to disable backup encryption temporarily (disable Drive backup before doing that) and, oddly, to wait for the backup size calculation to complete when it offers to restore the local backup. It only offers to restore after confirming your number.

Curious if anyone has tried backing up and restoring their WA accounts recently. I tried the method listed, copying the backups to my new device at /Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp but this is not working.

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, boasting over 2 billion active users worldwide. With so many conversations and important messages passing through the app every day, it's crucial to have a backup plan in case something goes wrong.

When using this method, WhatsApp will back up your chats to Google Drive, however, the backup must first be created on your Android itself - so ensure your Android has sufficient free storage space to store the backup before you proceed (a WhatsApp backup will not count against your storage limit in Google Drive).

Before restoring a backup, you may wish to ensure that your existing backup is up to date. Creating a new backup will ensure that all your most recent chats and messages are saved to the backup. This will prevent losing any data since the last backup was made.

Note that the phone number of the iPhone you are restoring to must match the phone number of the device that the backup was made from (backups are linked to a certain phone number and WhatsApp account).

Restoring a complete backup of your iPhone in this way will replace any content currently on your iPhone. As such, you may lose new content on the device which was acquired since your last backup (this is not an issue if you are restoring to a brand-new iPhone). For this reason, make sure you understand this process before proceeding with a full restore of your iPhone.

While I have no particular insights into Shelter, I had about the same problem when migrating to a new phone. The problem is that nobody at WhatsApp seems to test the local restore as everybody is expected to use the Cloud backup.

In my case what worked was:

What happens if you install WA in shelter and do a manual backup.

Then you should be able to find the backup in the shelter filemanager and can figure out what the correct path is.
