Can you share resources on how to backup through termux? I hadn't thought of that.

I wrote a how-to!

It has one error. termux-job-scheduler isn't a separate install.

One extra tip is to use rrsync to restrict which folders your rsync client can read/write to: https://b.tuxes.uk/termux-rsync-photos.html

This helps mitigate ransomware, and escalation (e.g. reading previously backed up files) attacks.
