Where are the backups? [duplicate]

I copied the files just fine copy-pasting throught the window manager (didn't need winscp, thankfully). I also noticed that the backups are a git repository (very neat!), so it's also possible to git-clone it and just git-pull (from another computer) after running new backups.

@hobarrera if you just copied it without taking care of permissions and owner you wont be able to recover a backup (at least not otf), there is an option to save them to sdcard in settings/backup.

Oh, I was unaware if the permissions issue. I guess using git as mentioned works around that. rsync would work gine too.

Easiest backup is to back it up onto your sdcard but that does not prevent a loss of your phone. I pull most of the FS with a rsync backup, I need to do that as root as not even nemo is allowed to read/write all of the .vault dir. If you are going the git way you probably should check if it is everything nemo sees or if it is really everything!

Regrettably, I don't have SD cards, and I don't like the idea of purchasing additional hardware just for backups. Neither do I like the idea of having to deal with having to open the phone and adding/removing it every time I want to make a backup. The less of a hastle backups are, the more often one tends to make them. Thanks for pointing last item out; it seems that .git/blob isn't copied over by git, so those need to be pulled separately.
