Hi Leland! No worries about responses :) I mount my Android device on my laptop and then start the backup of the mounted folder. So such a loop cannot be a problem and at the moment I have no clue what could cause this. If I find the time then I will re-try and test it on the weekend again.

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,

Sorry, yes I forgot to mention that I used simple-mtpfs. I did not have the time yet to test it via ssh. On 1/11/22 14:05, EricZolf wrote: But you used mtpfs? On 11 January 2022 08:03:11 UTC, "Jonas Schöpf" wrote: Hi all! The backup ran with <10 errors (some files could not be copied), but

Hi! @Eric: Thanks for this interesting pointer. If I find the time, I will definitely try it and report back. @Derek: Thank you very much. For now I will use simple-mtpfs for doing a backup. At the moment the backup is running with any errors. Cheers, Jonas On 1/10/22 13:57, Derek Atkins

Hi Jonas, that's at least an interesting idea. I've been able to make Ansible work on Android, and as both Ansible and rdiff-backup are Python-based, it doesn't seem impossible. I've documented my experience from 4 years ago at https://github.com/redhat-cop/automate-exotic Now the question

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
