I use rsync normally but I want something similar for my Android (GrapheneOS) smartphone. I want to just click and backup everything that I set up earlier. For now I manually copy folders to one and then upload it to external drive. What are your recommendations?
I’ve used Open Android Backup Companion from F-Droid for my GrapheneOS device for a while now. It’s pretty simple and straight forward, I definitely recommend giving it a go. You can select what files to backup or just back it all up.
Thanks for the recommendation. I chcked it but the app seems amandoned with very basic and default Flutter styling so it’s a sus for me and not for long term backuping. I’ve see on GrapheneOS there is a experimental files backuping in Backup Settings though.
It was updated twice in 2024, granted last update was in April. But once software is dialed, it shouldn’t need consistent updates. The website doesn’t reference anything about the project being abandoned either: https://www.openandroidbackup.me/
Guess if nothing else, it’s worked very well and hopefully will get updated in 2025. If not, ideally Graphene will have their own backup option here soon.
