For some files, I also add a password in the same go.
#Why can freefilesync only see some of my galaxy s7 files zip file#
This zip file I create on-the-fly, using phone as the source and a zip file on computer as the target. From some apps, I do not want individual files, but a zip file that contains a whole directory (like, pictures I’ve taken by my phone). On computer side, my script adds a timestamp (based on the file’s own age) to the old version, and removes older files with a timestamp before copying a new file from the phone.
From some apps, I want individual files with a specific extension.
My script only makes a copy if something relevant has changed on the phone. I had to write a script to handle the various cases. But the “copying files” is a rather delicate operation. I would start by asking what exactly is “the storage”? I am copying files from my phone every day, before I manually launch backups on my Linux machine.

I’ll have to look for a similar android app. Instead, files must be manipulated using Windows Explorer or applications with specially written MTP support.Īnd after reading your post and some facts about MTP, I think, that there’s no hope doing my android backups with Duplicati.
Compared to devices that implement USB mass storage, such devices cannot be accessed programmatically by scripts or normal Windows programs that depend on drive letters or UNC paths. Windows does not assign drive letters or UNC pathnames to devices connected via MTP instead, they only appear as named devices in MTP-aware applications such as Windows Explorer. Your link to the MTP entry of wiki gives the answer, why: I can see the folders but a cannot get a path with RMB or +RMB.Īnd also copying the pseudo path from the explorer adress bar “This PC\Fairphone 4 5G\Internal shared memory\DCIM\” results in an warning message from Duplicati that this path doesn’t exist. However I think there are other ways to backup Android that might be easier than using the PC. Google search also turned up “FreeFileSync supports MTP”, so maybe it can sync to Windows.īasically, unless Duplicati can do it directly, you might be able to devise some indirect methods, Vendor that has MTP support in some of their products. Media Transfer Protocol is likely how you got in, but it’s a limited-ability special-purpose design.ĭuplicati has no special support, but there’s a (possibly small) chance Windows allows enough.įiles Transmission using Media Transfer Protocol is one of the articles from a Windows backup If there’s a path, you “might” be able to push it into Duplicati using Add a path directly box.īefore that, though, how well do typical Windows applications work when editing Android files?ĭuplicati will want to open files and read through them (including attributes), write restores, etc.īasically it needs to look like a largely normal file system, and I’m not sure you have enough… Without root Android listen only at port 1024+, but Windows strictly uses port 445 for SMB.Ĭan you see folders and files that you want? If so, can you right-click to get the path for them? Or do I need to run an SMB server on my phone and mount this network storage as drive Y: via wifi?Įdit: In the meantime I had to learn, that this won’t do either. Is it possible to use this storage as a backup source? (How?) So I have already mounted the SMB storage of my Fritzbox router as Z:, but I can’t do this directly with this phone storage connected via USB. like in this image In Duplicati, it seems I can only select source drives with a letter.

While connected to my PC via USB, I can see the storage in Explorer under This PC | Devices and Drives (maybe Windows uses a different translation, e.g. It's very important for me.I’m using Duplicati - 2.0.6.104_canary_ on Windows 10.Īnd I would like to backup the (accessible) storage of my (non rooted) smartphone (Fairphone 4 with Android 11). But I wanted to apply the changes of PC1 to PC2.Īdditional Info: I tried to open FFS as Admin but with same results.Ĭan you tell me a solution for my problem please. That was the moment in which FreeFileSync on PC2 wanted to copy back the intentionally deleted files (previously on PC 1) to the NAS-Server. Later I created one new document on PC2 and compared PC2 to my NAS-Server I compared and synchronized the changes from PC1 to my NAS-Server via Server Message Block (SMB)Ĥ. my PC1 and PC2 and NAS-Server were equal.
