A backup method that just copies it _somewhere else on the same device_ is not really a very useful backup. It involves manually moving files around if you want a real backup, which feels very antiquated in 2020. Why isn't there some way to automatically store my (encrypted!) backup via a cloud backup solution, whether that's Google Drive, Dropbox, or just allowing it to be backed up as part of an Android backup?

Doesn't copying device data to another device, such as a laptop or desktop, do that? I mean... it's not cloud based, but I _thought_ it was a full local backup.

Can you do that on Android? Other than shutting the phone down and `dd`ing the correct partition?
