This is something exclusive to the Raspberry, but depending on the size of your pictures folder it can take a long long time to do the backup, since Raspberry is not that powerful and Borg runs an algorithm to detect and deduplicate the data so it takes less space. Also I set up this on my parents' phones and they usually close Syncthing by accident every 2 weeks or so, and that means I have to boot it up again when I meet them haha. Sometimes, when you reboot your phone, Syncthing won't start automatically so you should better remember.
I've been using this setup for almost 2 years now, and although I like it a lot, here are some caveats you might want to consider.
This way the moment you take a picture it will be uploaded to your Raspberry, and backuped at night. Set it up to make a backup everyday at night around 3AM where nobody is using their phones (I do this because I'm afraid the Raspberry won't have enough power to handle everything? But maybe I'm being paranoid) You can also set up another RaspberryPi with Borg so Raspi1 backups the whole data to Raspi2 hence having it in 2 sites. Borg and Borgmatic installed on the RaspberryPi, to compress and backup the pictures with deduplication. Syncthing installed on a RaspberryPi, add the folder you want to sync from your phone or phones, set it up to receive-only, ignore permissions. Settings are send-only folders and ignore permissions. Set it up to only backup with wifi but it can be configured to backup with data too. Syncthing installed on the phones I want to backup. I just hate having to setup a new phone the way I like it. Maybe I’ll just leave it to a Google backup and focus on the media.
#ULTIMATE BACKUP TOOL FOR ANDROID FOR ANDROID#
Also It seems that a few files didn’t work the first time, Foldersync might just handle that better then Autosync.Īs for android settings backup, I didn’t realize I needed to have it rooted to really get the settings. So far Foldersync works but is slow uploading pictures about 9 gb in 1.5 hours. Also tried Autosync but it would get a refuse connection after 30 secs of uploads and stop. For the android media, I am trying Foldersync free. Haven’t set it up as a scheduled task yet but looks easy to do. Setup as a batch job and runs a command to close the network connection after. For the laptop I am trying Freefilesync, wanted a gui. I’ll do some sort of compressed backup offsite storage eventually. Setup a VM samba server with webmin, easy setup and user management with private file shares. I checked out some of the suggestions and so far this is what I have settled with to try. Thanks for the replies! You all are the best!!! So many great setups, helps to understand what you all do. Suggestions on what I should use and best set up? Used like a restore point if broken or lost.

Maybe someone has a similar setup for what I want and I can skip trial and fails. I am hoping someone will have input and can help. Peeking into them I am not sure what would be best for me.
Strolling through the posts I see Nextcloud, Owncloud, Syncthing, Titainium Backup, and Swift Backup all mentioned. I am searching around for a better self hosted solution to backup the laptops and android devices. I simply backup the laptops but I really should have a method for the phones. I had a BSOD recently which reminded me that I hadn’t refreshed my backup in a while oops. What Is SelfHosted, As it pertains to this subreddit?
