[rsync]

"I back up my photos using termux, rsync, and rsync.net. This model seems pretty solid."

This is a common workflow.

In addition to termux/rsync we do see a number of people using syncopoli.

FWIW, my personal phone is an iphone and I use the excellent 'iexplorer' to browse the phone as if it were a filesystem.

Can you share resources on how to backup through termux? I hadn't thought of that.

I wrote a how-to!

It has one error. termux-job-scheduler isn't a separate install.

One extra tip is to use rrsync to restrict which folders your rsync client can read/write to: https://b.tuxes.uk/termux-rsync-photos.html

This helps mitigate ransomware, and escalation (e.g. reading previously backed up files) attacks.

Nice, thank you!
