E integrates an own cloud service deep into its Android distro.

Unlike even apple, it dosent have any excryption, anonymisation, or even a fucking page saying when they sent what data to authorities.

And since they have this partnership, they have an incentive (Dont know if financial or not) to hinder other, way better backup services like Calyxˋes local, encrypted and honestly way easier to use backup tool.

Unrelated, but Their Installer is also dogshit.

Do you have to use the cloud service? Can't you simply disable it and use your own solution (commercial or DIY).

You cant really back up android apps through normal apps, it has to be integrated into the image, so youll have to modify your e image

And as far as I know you cant back up locally, only with something like Calyx
