How to back up phone without Google? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Currently Im using Google's and Xiaomi's services to back up phone. I want to use more private method: store backups on pc instead of cloud. I specifically want to save:

Contacts
SMS
Documents, Music, Gallery, Screenshots, Downloads file folders

Is there any private method?

Replace the stock dialer, contact and sms apps (and some others) with Simple Mobile Tools. They have the ability to export/import, and can use a separate contact list invisible to all other apps or the system.

For the files, Syncthing is a good choice.

KDE Connect can also do a lot of things you may want.
