Google One will not restore app settings or login information and not all apps store their settings in the cloud so your left logging into all your apps and seeing them up. This takes me an entire day.

If I could I take an image of my device and restore it that would be great but this is not possible without root.

I’ve talked to Google support about this and looked into heaps of options.

It would be much more useful to actually focus on how you do the backup with screenshots and detailed instructions. I’m really perplexed reading about StarWars in this article. Not helpful and not what I was looking for. Thanks, Malte

I have to use syncthing on my phone and PC to sync photos then I have a regular script to ‘send only’ encrypted photos from PC to B2 buckets and S3 (2 copies offsite, 2 at home – PC and NAS).
I know there are apps available, but would not trust long term use just in case they are no longer updated.
