What's the app data backup/restore story on GrapheneOS?

My understanding is that even with pseudo-D2D (device-to-device) transfers Seedvault doesn't backup everything[1].

Are there more-functional, non-root, local (non-cloud) alternatives?

llama.cpp (b8642) auto-fits ~200k context on this 24GB RX 7900 XTX & it shows a solid 100+ tok/s ("S_TG t/s") on the first 32k of it, nice!

Doesn't seem to serve rendered samples so you have to set "browser.display.use_document_fonts" to "1" to see anything useful.
