      Colleagues, can you please tell me if there is a way to back up data from your phone? Call logs, SMS, phone book, notes, photo-video...
      Is there some utility that does this automatically?

        No, you need to backup the home folder manually.
        There is some work out there to add this feature in the ubports installer, but still not implemented.

          @ogogon you can reinstall the OS without wiping your data (from UBports installer or changing channels).

          To copy info, for now, sadly, you have to copy the files manually

            Every day I like it more and more!
            And there is some kind of description that tells where which files are located?

              @ogogon you're gonna want to backup system-data and user-data folders. If you type "back up" in the search box of this forum, yoy'll find numerous occurrences of people trying to find the best way to do so. Someone even made an automated script.
