The backup file is a complete copy of your wallet file. It should be compatible with PC Electrum and protected with the password that you've set.

I tried exporting a backup of my electrum wallet on Android and import it into electrum on PC but it didn't work. I assume there is a compatibility issue.
Here is the error message I got when I tried to import the wallet backup file:

Why is this even necessary? All Electrum would need, theoretically, is the user permission to access the user's files in order to make its own directory to store the backups, and restore from them as well. Root access should not be required to access the backup file.

Sorry if my previous reply was not so clear. I was talking about the original wallet file not the backup file. Not sure about others, but on my mobile the whole directory is hidden so a user you can't access it. This is why I said you need root privileges to see it.
