I use rsync normally but I want something similar for my Android (GrapheneOS) smartphone. I want to just click and backup everything that I set up earlier. For now I manually copy folders to one and then upload it to external drive. What are your recommendations?
with graphene you can’t backup everything. for that you will need to root it, and graphene devs are vehemently against that
I think they think most users are absolutely stupid. I have rooted my phones for far over a decade and never have exploded my own phone or deleted something I absolutely needed in the OS. Sometimes, their absolutist mentality crosses into fear mongering.
can’t blame them for that, sadly it is true
but other then that, it might be also about security. e.g. Magisk loosens the selinux policies so that it can work at all, and it has patched a few holes in the past years that it itself have opened
I would sort of argue your point, but sadly… I have to side with you, if we are talking in the aggregate. You are 100% right. Most people do not follow best practices and will do things without knowing of the possible negative consequences.
Good points.
