Auto backup of Phone to local PC over wifi

209 42 December 21, 2024 at 03:29 PM
Hello,

Is there a way to auto backup our phones (Android and iPhone) to our local home PC that is always available when we are home. Something that is automatic such that whenever we arrive home and are connected to wifi, the photo's get copied to PC.

If there is a better forum to ask this question, please advise too.

Thanks in advance.

There are several options:
You can use the iTunes app on windows to sync with the iOS phone. This may not work as well as it once did.

Microsoft added a Phone Link app to windows 10 a few years ago. It works with android and iOS.

There are also self hosted options like ownCloud that take more work to set up.

looks like droid transfer can do it for pictures

Regular backups: Click "Export New Photos" and choose or create a folder to save your photos. Droid Transfer will scan the folder and display all the photos on your Android that haven't been saved there yet. You can then choose to export some or all of these new photos to your PC. In future uses, Droid Transfer will detect any new photos on your phone, enabling you to perform differential backups. For more details, refer to the Export New Photos Feature Guide.

There are flash drives that back up both automatically. But phones backup automatically when in rest mode.
