WhatsApp restore issues help.

[frederickdawg]

I've always used Google drive to backup my WhatsApp messages , however today when attempting to restore I get the attached message. I have plenty of local drive space available and on a wifi connection. Done this plenty of times over the years without issues until today. Any advice please?

I believe it only lets you back up all SD card not what's individual on it

Yep you're right. I tried to manually copy and past sd card backup to pc and rename a folder etc. Still no dice. On a negative note, now I have to wait 12 hours until I allowed another verification code. Sigh...

Just an update. Bugger all, 3.2gb backup sitting on Google drive and not being able to restore it still. Oh well, 7 years of WhatsApp messages gone to $hit. I'm not bitter
