i just use scripts to rsync termux homedir to shared storage (needs some exclusions) and then i rsync entire storage into server via ssh, which then does zfs snapshots on target (daily for a week + manual) this runs from termux exposed scheduled timer every hour call it weird setup but... to be honest, backups should not be accessed from client side but for that i do snapshots to mitigate it. nevermind not that critical anyway On May 22, 2026 8:12:54 AM GMT+03:00, Andrew Tridgell <[email protected]> wrote: >I've added a link to the discord server in the README.md, I thought >I'd done this before but it seems to have gotten lost.
