  Was looking at who is the author and saw "Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]" in the LIVENCE (https://github.com/RikkaApps/Shizuku/blob/master/LICENSE#L19...)

  Is this still valid? If not does that mean that this app has no license?

  Swift Backup requires another app called Shizuku to run batch restores of apps and to backup external app data. The backup provider, Seedvault, is not super reliable, but I do like it when it works and I've had good luck with it myself. It's helped me a lot on restores and even helped me jump from ROM to ROM! A tip when backing up: look at progress, success and failure of the backup by pulling down the notification shade. If the backup keeps failing, go into Backup Status, click on the menu on the upper right hand side and select "exclude apps". You are probably trying to back up too many apps at a time, start with excluding apps at the bottom of the list that do not allow data backup. Don't worry, Swift backup will grab them.
