Re: Bacula for Android

All,

Thanks for the answers.
I was already using Syncthing for some folders synchronisation between 
computers,but now I start expanding it to synconize the folders of the 
Android device to a seperate folder, which will be taken with the daily 
backup.
If a dedicated Android app will be released it will be great, but so 
far, this will do it.

Best regards,

Ronald
