I wanted to switch to Lineage OS on my Note 8 because I needed to upgrade from android 9 to android 10+. However I created a backup using smart switch which copied everything to my external SSD which was probably a mistake.
Now I need to get all of my contacts back but Im having trouble because I thought it was going to be easy to restore back with smart switch. My contacts are stored in a .bk file
With whatsapp i created a backup copy before to my google account and after installing whatsapp again i got all of my contacts but none of my chat history.
Im going to install lineage on my S8+ soon so I also need to know whats the actual correct way to backup all of my stuff on samsung before hand. Do I use seedvault?
