Has anyone else tried backing up all the new "apps" with TB? I installed my wife's P3 (upgrade with flash-all minus -w) and have no issues at all except that media storage "app" will not backup. It never moves and even after 30 minutes of waiting crashes the system to the point of needing a reboot even if TB is force closed. All other new stuff backed up fine.

It gives me the same failure and I notice that it is mostly because of the root that app is handled with that I am waiting for the root to be able to use it in the betas if it could be rooted but in this version I am suffering the same as you

Not sure what you mean by "root that app is handled with." Canary Magisk is the only root that works on 11, and I wasn't even on the beta 11.

Of course, if in all the betas I even solved it, I already have root, a youtuber who is dedicated to pixels in all android betas made him root and today I root for pixel 3 and I have it

I haven't tried on official version but up until beta 3 I haven't tried and it worked

Thank God for XDA.

I think the answer to why Titanium Backup can't backup Media Storage is in this article:
Storage updates in Android...

I just can't figure out where. LOL

Have a great day!

titanium backup fc why?
Not sure I understand your question, but if Media Storage is included in apps to be backed up you need to force close TB to even make the phone respond to much of anything since it is hung in the backup process that never completes. Either way, you need to reboot completely to function normally again.

This is what happened: Media storage hung up, I rebooted and tried to open Titanium Backup got fc. uninstalled tibu reinstalled it rebooted and tried to open tibu fc. What is going on?

Now I get your question. Fortunately, that has not happened to me. I have not had to reinstall or even clear cache/data in TB. The only thing I have done different is I've hit the home button that still responded (once I considered it frozen) and then opened TB in settings and force closed it before the reboot. Everything was fine after that.

Fixed it! Would you share the, detailed, steps needed to skip Media storage?

This happened to me too. No update yet for Titanium backup that fixes it.

I think this might cause some issues for Titanium backup:

If your app targets Android 11, it cannot access the files in any other app's data directory, even if the other app targets Android 8.1 (API level 27) or lower and has made the files in its data directory world-readable.
