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.

    one question though, lets say my phone did get lost and I got a new one. Would I just put syncthing on the new phone to send it all back?

    you will need to import those exported backups to your newly installed apps. You can’t sync android’s protected directories.
