I’ve been using graphene for a while now, and all of my important files are backed up on my home server, but I don’t have a complete backup of all my apps and data.

Solutions like Neo Backup require root.

Is there a good phone backup solution for graphene users?

    I have individual backup systems for photos, documents, notes, 2FA, and a couple others like podcasts, etc. It’s a lot to monitor and keep track of. A solution that backs up apps and settings would streamline the entire process, and provide a solution for apps that don’t have an individual backup setting.

    Loss or destruction of the device would not be catastrophic, but it would be a big hassle that seems fairly easy to avoid, if there were such a solution.

      Yup. Unfortunately it’s basically impossible to actually do without root.

      I know the GOS devs have said that a proper backup system is on the roadmap, but they have much bigger problems to solve first.

      All of this is why I try and keep my phone ephemeral - lack of backups. So don’t rely on it because you can’t.
