     Easy backup and restoring?
     Not on Android 😆

     @didek While data isolation is nice (easy backup, restoring, clearing), this 'feature' is not so nice, as not everybody could afford root.

     @arek @didek That's what I am using. Then sync with PC using rsync or syncthing.

     @didek I guess because it's not just copying app data files @anedroid

     @anedroid @arek

     Yup, I use it too. Mostly to backup singleplayer games.
     But the fact we need root for that is baffling.

     You cannot access app data files without root, unless app developer specifically put everything under /storage/emulated/0/Android/data directory which is rare.
