Restoring backups

[fmcpma]

Hello.

I've never tried to restore any backups because I'm afraid anything goes wrong, though I have both local and cloud turned on. So I don't know whether it's possible to restore single macros or the whole collection must be restored at the same time. So, is it possible? And, if not, why not?

The backups are full backups not individual macros. To get individual macros you'll need to use the three dots button at the top of the macro >> Share macro. Once.a macro is extracted, you can import them individually

Ok, fair enough. It's just that, in my case at least, I cannot share to phone storage directly, I must go through Google Drive or Gmail.

Try this macro :

You can excuse shell script action cat and echo commands and push them to the MacroDroid folder to reduce the amount of configuration needed by the user

Great, could you tell me how I can make this work ?

Firstly, this macro finds the filepath by using the name: https://www.macrodroidlink.com/macrostore?id=8277

Then you use the shell command like this:

cat [lv=pathFromMacroAbove]/[lv=filename].mdr

Then do your parsing stuff as you are...

Now the echo command is:
echo [everythingYouWantToEcho] >> name.txt

I have 101 macros so this crashes but this is the idea

The first 2 actions work perfectly (almost) but the cat shell script just say cat: /storage/emulated/0/aA/Backups/MicroD.mdr: Permission denied

What happens if you invert the helper option (if it's ticked, untick)

It seems to have worked with the helper. I did think of using it, but it didn't really made sense to me that this would work.

You can create three copies of the shell script action and set them accordingly: 1) root, 2)no root, not helper and 3) no root, yes helper. You can catch the permission denied by using variables and only execute the other shell script actions if there's errors
