@Phil-UK, in the good ol'days of Ubuntu Phone (haha) there was Buds. https://github.com/popey/buds

Best thing is you rsync /home/phablet to an sd card or to a server with ssh installed. Dont Use /* as there are important .files that need to be saved. Use rsync /home/phablet/ target/ and vice versa.

@Flohack That's the way to do it! I like the fighting spirit! Thanks.
