Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

	The need to create backups.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

   I created a backup

   * What was the outcome of this action?

	Folders with settings and applications are hidden.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

   It would be much better if all settings and applications were in a normal, visible folder, so they could be easily copied and restored.
   I suggest ~/flatpak
