Hi Leland!
Thank you for this suggestion.
Mounting with sshfs works just fine.
I have tried a backup with it, but rdiff-backup is looping when using sshfs.
Does anybody have an idea why?
So I mean after everything is copied from my phone it starts again
copying from the beginning.
Cheers,
Jonas

Hi all!
I have question about using rdiff-backup to back up my android phone.
The backup would be done over ssh, but the problem is that I am (as far
as I know) not able to install rdiff-backup on my phone.
Is there still a possibility to use rdiff-backup from my PC to create a
backup of my android phone via ssh?
If you can 'ssh' to your phone, can you install some "flavor" of 'sshfs'? If
so, then it seems like you could mount your phone over 'sshfs' on a machine with
'rdiff-backup' installed, then do what looks like a backup of a local directory
(but is really the 'sshfs' mount point). Mind you, I've never tried this. Just
a thought. I _have_ used 'exfat' over USB but that has serious issues with file
metadata (date, time, etc.).
Thank you and cheers,
Jonas
