Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Having to set up apps without a Google app backup used to be a pain. Now there is Seedvault as a backup solution integrated into LineageOS 17.1.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Element Android should allow itself to be backed up to Seedvault.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
A manual backup which creates a file in the internal storage.
