This "feature" is what prevents my backup app backing up my WhatsApp photos.

It's not a feature I want. I want to enable this on demand.




In WhatsApp you can enable save photos and videos to your phone gallery and then any backup app can do backups. Google Photos and numerous other apps are able backup WhatsApp photos.


Unfortunately rsync can't see the galleries populated by WhatsApp.

I basically paused my backup efforts until I have the energy to configure a harder to use system like syncthing or similar.
