I would like to distro hop to EndeavourOS, and it has been suggested that I use rclone to copy my home folder to an external SSD. Unfortunately, I don’t have an external SSD at the moment, but I do have a phone that has plenty of free space. Is it a good idea to back up my computer files to an Android phone? My gut says it’s not a very good idea, but I’m not sure why.


Follow your gut instinct…
Modern phones are fragile eggs anymore, you might as well be putting all your eggs in one eggshell…
hey that’s a new one
Just randomly looking through my recent comments…
Yeah, I did just pull those words out of my ass, so it probably is something of a new twist on an old quote that originally said ‘basket’
If you really do use your spare phone as a data backup, well keep it safe and don’t carry it around with you, that’s how the eggshells end up getting broken…
