Backup work profile (Shelter)
See original GitHub issueHi,
I have setup a Android work profile so when I open System -> Backup, the settings app asks in which profile the Seedvault should be opened. Personal profile works as intended. But when I select “Work”, it says “Disabled by admin”. I am the admin and I did not disable it 😃 I did a quick grep over frameworks/base, Internet search and logcat. No obvious setting. Do you see a trick to patch Android so that backing up the work profile works?
Keep up the good work!

Had a chat with the Shelter dev. The problem is probably https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/admin/DevicePolicyManager#setBackupServiceEnabled(android.content.ComponentName, boolean) They should have a new release in the next few days with support for Android 11. Said that after that they are happy to add a setting to allow backups to be enabled.
I’ll re-open this in case anyone else is having this issue and wants to contribute.
It sounds to me like the backup transport is not set for that user. However, I’m not sure if the backup transport setting is per user. There could be other code affecting the backup transport settings for non-admin profiles somewhere else as well.
