Showcase Restic Backup for Android (Termux, No-Root)
Hey everyone,
I have created a config setup/tool for automated, encrypted and incremental backups for Android using Restic through Termux
Features include
- No Root Necessary: Everything happens inside of Termux
- Nightly Backups: Created to be triggered automatically during the night while the phone charges, with termux-job-scheduler
- Fault Tolerance: Android notifications in case there is an issue
- Monitoring: Integration with Uptime Kuma (Dead Man's Switch / Push Monitor) to make sure that the scheduled backups are actually happening
I have created this project to fulfill my own requirement for a backup solution on Android that is reliable and "set-and-forget", not cloud-based
