Backup and restore (TWRP-style)
-
What do Ubuntu Touch users choose if they want a simple and reliable way to backup and restore their phone, preserving the exact state of the OS so that they can 'roll back' if necessary (eg. bricked phone)?
I haven't really seen a satisfying post about this, so I thought I might as well start the conversation: I'm happy to experiment with different tools and report my findings here as this is a very important feature to me.

@GooglyBear I don't know how TWRP does it.
I would do the following:- copy the entire home directory to the Downloads directory
- use a cable to transfer that copied home directory to my laptop
- if I need to restore, use the cable again to transfer it to the phone. I've not tried that part, I think.
So I'm not sure yet on how to restore but I do know how to backup. Halfway there?
