Comment on PSA: Don't use nextcloud's auto upload on the android app as a backup

Do you have any need to backup things on a mobile phone? What do you use if so? I’m trying to make everything simpler and I already use rsync on my desktop.

There’s a few things I backup from my phone.

Music downloaded from Seeker

Youtube audio downloaded from YTDLnis

Backups of Termux

Notes in plain text

Backups from certain apps that make their own backup data

Pictures that I have sorted and want to saved

I have an Android phone so I use Termux as a terminal emulator. I use ssh and passwordless keys to make transfers simpler and quicker.

Although this is closer to a backup process and not like SyncThing where it’s syncing a folder between two devices. I don’t believe rsync is capable of acting like SyncThing but I’m tempted to dig into rsync more and see if I can put something basic together one day.
