4 to 5 times over the last few months Voyager has suddenly and unexpectedly erased all my app settings. Each time I've gone through and changed everything back, which takes quite a while, and then I've backed up my settings.

Before that however I always try the previous settings backup I created, and it does nothing. Not one setting gets changed or toggled when I upload the settings backup every single time this has happened, and I've made new ones every time to be sure.

So A. Why does Voyager erase all my settings so frequently? B. What settings, if any, does this button actually backup?

It does back them up, but the restore seems to be broken. I had the same settings reset last night, and tried restoring a backup with some luck, but some missing settings, so set everything up again and did a backup. I tried restoring the new backup to see if I got any sort of confirmation, but there was nothing.

I tried restoring the backup on my PC, but it didn't work the first time. I updated the app and tried again, and it worked as it should, and gave me a confirmation message.

I've been having issues with my phone, so just assumed it was something to do with that, or I would have paid more attention.
