Hi Frank,
Happy Armistice Day!

I wish to attempt your freeware solution for backing up Android to Windows.

The reason I want to attempt it is:
o To be able to back up Android to Windows more efficiently, and,
o To better understand the solution you keep saying I have ignored, and,

Not that it matters much, but I don't think I said that.

o To document your solution so that _everyone_ can benefit (as always).

Since I'm different than almost everyone here in that when I can do
something, I make sure _everyone_ can do it too, this will have benefits to
everyone - and not just me - especially if it has rsync-like capabilities
to back up only those files which have changed during interim automated
backups.

What do I/we need to do, Frank, to run your proposed solution to:
o Back up the entire visible file system (or select chunks),
o Automatically, if possible (manually if not),
o Using freeware which, if possible, only backs up changed files.

For obvious reasons, I didn't see your post until now (when I was
looking up some newsreader functionality in Thunderbird which gave me an
unfiltered view).

You apparently missed - or don't remember - my recent (October 22)
response to you about what I use to backup my Android devices, so here's
the news URL of my post. And yes, it ticks all your boxes. Have fun.
