Neo-Backup VS autorestic

Some people on rooted devices use Migrate or Neo Backup (formerly OAndBackupX) but I never tried to restore those so can't comment.

Neo Backup (version 8312): The open-source tool to backup your apps and data

What are the benefits over NeoBackup ?

I'm assuming you're already rooted based on your question? That should make things easier. I personally use a root backup app like Neo Backup to backup apps and app data and store it on a hard drive along with other important files. Also, if you're willing and the option's available, I would make a TWRP backup just in case. Then you can clean install and restore your apps and files separately. Encryption shouldn't be an issue if you backup using an app.

NeoBackup should be decent if you're digging for an OSS solution.

With root access the Neo Backup app is great: https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Backup/releases/. Yes, I tried it on WSA too and it works.

Neo Backup (version 8.3.1): The open-source tool to backup your apps and data

I'm tempted to switch to a Google Pixel phone with GrapheneOS but for now I couldn't find any alternative to Neo-Backup, which requires root.

I really like restic, and am personally happy to use it via the command line. It's very fast and efficient! However, I do wish there was better tooling / wrappers around it. For example, Pika Backup is a popular UI for Borg of which no equivalent exists for Restic. I'd love to be able to set something simple up on my partner's Macbook.

For my own purposes, I've been using a script I found on Github[0] for a while, but it only really supports Backblaze B2 AFAIK.[1]

I've been meaning to try autorestic[2] and resticprofile[3] as they are potentially more flexible than the script I'm currently using, and prestic[4] looks intriguing for my partner's use, but seems to have very few users. And the fact that there are so many competing tools makes it difficult to land on one.

I have looked up and found restic to be a good choice for the many advantages it provides (reduplication, incremental copies, encryption, free, ...). I looked also at the many projects built on it to make it easier to configure (resticker, autorestic). I already made a simple test locally for my MainPC (with docker swarm) and it seems to be fine.

You should consider setting up something like restic (maybe w/ autorestic) or borg and getting proper incremental backups.

I’m also using Autorestic to configure Restic via a YAML file, and I recently wrote an Ansible role to do this across multiple devices 🙂 if interested you can check it out here: https://github.com/dbrennand/ansible-role-autorestic

There's also [autorestic][https://github.com/cupcakearmy/autorestic), it's worth checking.

The majority of my storage will be large media, documents, and the like that won't update much and I plan to do the backup with autorestic so I'll only be backing up the file changes (which won't be many/frequent).

Autorestic wraps restic in YAML config files, and for that I am very grateful.

Maybe autorestic or rclone.

There’s also a wrapper for restic to make management easier using yaml config (autorestic) and a well-regarded docker image (resticker)
