I think I asked before but never got a solid answer. I have a s23, I disable all google and Samsung services I can etc, but I am still stuck with stock android. I plan to move to a better phone in the next year.
However I need a solution for a full phone backup. Not even a sync right now, just plug in and backup all my apps notes and photos (photos are backed up already but I don’t care about doubling up for now.
The reason being I dont want to lose or have my phone stolen and have no backup. I do have FMD installed but still.
This is one big downside of not being fully self hosted yet but refusing to use google products… No instant sync to a new phone if mine is lost.


you will need to import those exported backups to your newly installed apps. You can’t sync android’s protected directories.
i’m ok with that.
most of my apps have automated backups. That backup folder is synced to my laptop by syncthing. This way i always have an up to date backup of my mobile. Might indeed be what you’re asking for.
This is what I’m doing now !
