What I urgently need to see before I can buy an Ubuntu phone is an integrated 1-click backup solution:
I want to connect my Ubuntu phone to my Ubuntu notebook and click "Backup now", to have everything I need synced to my notebook (and not to some "cloud"/somebody else's server).
- popey 10y agoIn lieu of such a tool, I wrote a crappy shell script to backup my Ubuntu Phones. :) https://github.com/popey/buds https://github.com/popey/buds
- benevol 10y agoThanks. It's just that the average user will never accept such hurdles. An automated backup solution is really one of the most important things to have in phones. No backup solution means one must be OK with losing all the data as soon as the phone gets stolen or lost.
- popey 10y agoIndeed. I wrote that before there was a backup tool built into Ubuntu Phone. I saw a demo of the backup tool a few months back, but don't know if it landed yet.
- benevol 10y ago> don't know if it landed yet. How can the consumer know about all currently available features in Ubuntu phones? A dedicated page for that would allow one to check "if Ubuntu is ready for me".
- popey 10y agoIt's a bit academic right now as there are no Ubuntu phones on sale, but yes, that would be a great page to make.
- AgentME 10y agoThere are Ubuntu tablets on sale now, which run about the same software as far as I know.

- messo 10y agoHave you checked out Syncthing?
- benevol 10y agoLooks interesting, thanks. (The average Joe however will require a solution similar to iTunes's backup feature.)
