The title says it all. I want to wipe my phone and then only use open source apps. The thing im afraid of is not backing up my data correctly and losing things like my keepass.

I have to make sure the data from the open source apps is downloadable as well so i can reload them to my phone.

Any tips to assist me with this process?

    Not sure about your other apps but in keepass you can just export as an encrypted file and share it

        That’s why you need backups. If you wipe your phone and only have a single other copy of your data, you do not have a backup.

          If your keepass database is encrypted then backup it in cloud

            3-2-1

            3 copies, including the original

            2 types of media

            1 stored offsite

            The first is to be used. The second is to restore the 1st in the event it is damaged. The third are to restore the first and second in case the building burns down.

        Take backups.

        1 or 2 copies of something is not a backup, 3+ is a backup. And test them too, make sure they work.
