Hey! Recently, I forked and started working on an app that lets you create backups powered by Restic on your Android device.

The original repository was restic-android by Ihns on GitHub.

So far, I’ve integrated rclone and local repositories, so the app now supports S3, B2, REST, local, and rclone backups.

Also, I’ve added ntfy notifications, export/import functionality, and done a UI redesign.

You can check out my project on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/dawdyd/resticopia

It’s still not completely stable, but feel free to give it a try anyway! 👍

--edit--

nevermind, I see you just posted the link, you're not the dev. Leaving this question up to see if anyone has good suggestions for this type of backup.


Hey there, does this just handle files/data, or can it backup apps too? Been looking for a reliable way to backup apps and data for the few times I need to do a phone wipe, would be nice to restore everything like it was and not have to go through the whole install process again for all my apps.

I haven't tried extensively, but each tool I've tried in the past had issues and didn't really work for 100% of my apps and data, whether its Titanium backup, or the seedvault built into LineageOS, or Neo backup, etc. I haven't really had great success doing this.

Right?

Drives me nuts that we don't have a good system for restoring a phone to exactly where it was.

Years ago I would have my phone reboot to TWRP, create an image, then reboot to Android and sync that image to a server (weekly). So app backups daily with Titanium, then full system image weekly.
