How to back up phone without Google? (lemmy.world)

Currently Im using Google's and Xiaomi's services to back up phone. I want to use more private method: store backups on pc instead of cloud. I specifically want to save:

  • Contacts
  • SMS
  • Documents, Music, Gallery, Screenshots, Downloads file folders

Is there any private method?

I use a Synology NAS to back up and sync everything. There's a high up-front cost with this option, but there are a lot of benefits and they have great apps for accessing stuff. The argument can definitely be made that it's more cost effective to just pay for a secure cloud service subscription, but it's nice to self host, plus now I have 16 terabytes of space and can run my own services like bitwarden and Plex for zero cost!
