create seedvault-compatible backup from non-seedvault rooted device

[retracile]

I would like to create a seedvault-compatible backup of the data on a device that does not have seedvault (such as one running LineageOS 17), but on which I do have root. And then restore it on a rooted device with seedvault (such as LineageOS 18).

Before I sink too much time into this, I was wondering what tools might already exist?

I see there's some python code for parsing the backups (https://github.com/tlambertz/seedvault_backup_parser). Are there similar tools for creating backups? Is the file format documented in detail somewhere?

If you have root, you might be able to install Seedvault for the restore.

If you have root, than you can checkout https://github.com/machiav3lli/oandbackupx/
No need to create another app.
I use both, since seedvault can't backup apps that prevent it.

Thank you; I wasn't aware of that app. Interesting that you use both... does oandbackupx miss something that seedvault has?
