I think this is broken in the current build as it only restores the last task/condition in the xml

Does Google Drive Backup option backs up everything too? Or just the settings of Tasker app?

You know, there is no such thing like "Select Restore
Select the desired backup.xml file to restore"
A toast tells you there is no file to restore. Mine is in the download folder...

Try putting a copy of your backup.xml file in:

/sdcard/Tasker/configs/user/

as per:

"This will backup everything from your Tasker app. in a xml file located at /sdcard/Tasker/configs/user/"

That's where the app is searching for your backup.xml file. Not in your download folder. ?

I needed to reset my phone to factory settings as an attempt to fix some phone issues. I backed up my tasker twice, one as backup.xml and again as backup2.xml just to be safe. After resetting my phone and installing tasker, I restored with backup.xml. None of my profiles or tasks showed up. I restarted the phone and they still weren't there. I tried the same steps with the backup2.xml.

Has anyone had this issue? It took hours to set everything up the first time, I was really counting on the backups.

I find a workaround.

I had same issue, save your backup file in another forder, preferably in microsd, then open Tasker >> data >> restore >> touch in up arrow until you see microsd, and find your file, then restore it.
