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.


I used to back up important files into my phone for a while. Its an okay move for things you want to have all the time on you, but you should get a proper ssd/hdd with a backup tool (like deja dup/timeshift) sooner than later.
