LineageOS 19 Google backup not working at all
Some people on rooted devices use Migrate or Neo Backup (formerly OAndBackupX) but I never tried to restore those so can't comment.

[HELP] Update over OTA
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.

"Anytime someone puts a lock on something you own, against your wishes, and doesn't give you the key, they're not doing it for your benefit". However, people seem to like it. The sorry state of Android Backups
NeoBackup should be decent if you're digging for an OSS solution.

How to restore apps trough .ab files? Adb restore not working....
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.

GitHub - mrrfv/linux-android-backup: Back up your device without vendor lock-ins, using insecure software or root. Supports encryption and compression out of the box. Works cross-platform.
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.

Ask HN: Codebases with great, easy to read code?
In past threads, people have mentioned enjoying my Tarsnap (https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap) code. I personally think that the spiped (https://github.com/Tarsnap/spiped) code is even better.

I love the idea of tarsnap but a stable release hasn't been released since 2017. Is there a modern alternative, or is tarsnap actually still usable and secure?
I prefer Vorta myself ( https://github.com/borgbase/vorta ) as it also has incremental and encrypted backups, as well as being a fraction of the price, but tarsnap seems to still be in very-slow development: https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap , so I'd say from a quick look it's still trustworthy.

What's your backup strategy?
Each server also upload their configs and « important » data (my mails and git repos) to tarsnap 3. Tarsnap storage is not as cheap as B2, so I try not to upload too much data there, but it's reliable and easy to use. It was also my first backup solution, and barely cost me 10$ a year so I keep it as a secondary backup.
