Yes, I imagined, it would be difficult/impossible to back up a complete phone, when it's not rooted. However, I could imagine backing up "user data" (images, address book, emails, etc.) with some pipe-like endpoint.

Not necessarily. Without root any access to other app's data is severly limited (if not completely blocked). There is more access via USB with debugging enabled and adb tool but still to back up the data this way the app must permit it (there is a setting in app's manifest saying whether adb backup will access this app's data or not). And thirdly - even with root access there is a huge PITA with migrating system apps' data (phonebook, text messages and so on) between different phones. Been there, done that, ended up with manually decrypting and unpacking app and converting contacts to CSV or ldif.

Mobile phones - their backups and/or migrations have "since always" been a completely horrible experience for me.

ok, I see. Thank you for your input!

regards,
Erich
