What are you all doing for backing up your phone? (lemmy.world)

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?

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.
