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.

      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…
