Is there any icloud alternative backup, that doesn't involve connecting to a computer?
It seems that it's possible for third party apps to backup certain data, like photos and contacts, but to do a full device backup you either need to use icloud, or connect via USB to a computer.
- rubatuga 5y agoyes, you can use usbmuxd with macOS, but it means you have to purchase a Mac, and who wants to run macOS as a server OS.
- WatchDog 5y agoI'm confused, twofold, first of all being that usbmuxd means you need to connect to a computer, second of all being that it seems usbmuxd works on various platforms, not just macOS?
- rubatuga 5y agohttps://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/919 https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/... usbmuxd is responsible for wifi sync. However, it appears there is usbmuxd2 which is compatible with Linux and support wifi sync. I think you may be in luck! If you figure it out, please let me know.
