I know there is an export feature in the app and I used it successfully, but it 
doesn't make much sense to me to have that and disable OS backups at the same 
time.
There are use cases for one-off copying of things for which exporting as zip is 
great, but there are also others.

I don't want to have set a reminder and regularly go though every single app 
manually, use their flavor of backup feature (that doesn't necessarily store 
everything BTW, including in Wireguard), then collect the files somehow, 
encrypt them and send to the destination.

What I want is automation: configure the tool (SeedVault in my case) to create 
backups of all apps every day and store them in encrypted form on my private 
Nextcloud instance with ability to restore backups easily later on.
The issue is that some apps like Wireguard prevent me from enjoying that 
workflow fully and right now I don't see why would it be beneficial for 
Wireguard to intentionally prevent that.

With that context I hope it is clearer why I'd appreciate for current design 
decision around that to be re-evaluated.
