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

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

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?

@Stach There plenty of solutions depending of the problem you have :
- You can backup your data on you PC with tools like syncthing.
- You can also self-host a backup solution on a private server and use tools made for this.

for the second solution, you can use :
- Etesync for your contacts/calendar/tasks
- Immich (https://immich.app) for your photos/videos.

If you juste want to backup your phone with data/apps. It depends of the ROM you're using. I use LineageOS and Seedvault for the backup.

And for your documents/other files, You can use a cloud storage respecting your privacy like proton drive.
