Backing up Android to Mac including Apps

Using /e/OS Migrate to /e/OS

Hi,

I would like to backup everything on my phone. On iOS I would use iTunes for content, and iMazing to have a copy of the apps. What is similar for Android?

Thanks

The default way on Android is to backup to your Google account. This option is not available with /e/ because it is a “de-Googled” Android.

The planned solution is to use a program called SeedVault to backup to phone storage or SD card, NextCloud or /e/ cloud account, or attached USB OTG device. That solution isn’t available in /e/ yet, though it isn’t far off.

For now, the best (only?) solution is to backup in TWRP Recovery. Search the forum for posts describing how to do that.

Thanks. SeedVault looks good, when you say - not far off, do you think it will be ready this year?

I do, but that is only an opinion :slight_smile:

I think I will wait for that then. I am writing a manual on setting up the phone, the apps that are essential and those that are desirable, System settings etc for me. I can backup much of my data using current apps that I have. I just look forward to SeedVault so I can make complete backups, including the apps themselves, in case they ever disappear from the web.
