Backup
There are a few popular apps you should ensure you've manually backed up the shared secrets for, such as:
- Signal
- Silence
- Google Authenticator
You'll need adb for this. On Debian or Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
then you'll want to make a directory to back your files up to:
mkdir android-backup
cd into that directory, and start by backing up all your installed applications:
adb backup -all # Consider adding -apk -obb -shared as well
and now you can also backup your internal sdcard:
adb pull /sdcard/ .
The above assumes you're in android-backup, otherwise replace the . with the directory you want to backup to.
