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?

    Is Syncthing my ideal backup application?¶

    No. Syncthing is not a great backup application because all changes to your files (modifications, deletions, etc.) will be propagated to all your devices. You can enable versioning, but we encourage you to use other tools to keep your data safe from your (or our) mistakes.

      Thanks, I am awarw of that, I also have an rsync job to move the files into my NAS. The deletion is the part that bothers me most, but if you flash the device and the install syncthing with a new identifier that should treat it as a new device.
