Hi all,
I need to find a way to automate my daily backup strategy as follows: We alwaysd perform a dual backup, keeping one of the copies in the adjacent building. This is becoming laborious every day so i wanted to find a way to achieve this by deploying some sort of tape library at the remote location.
However, the solution needs to be cheap, yet it will only be backing up a few megs from a single server, nothing too large. It'll be a small backup perfromed once daily, hence the need for a small, cheap solution.
thanks
Sorry if wrong box.
Would it not be better to have another server in the remote location and do disk to disk backup to it?
If they really are that small then maybe even a work station would do.
Then maybe a cheap DAT drive in it to back daily backups.
My last two devices both had micro SD support (LG G3 and Moto XPE). Was able to store all my files for my phone (ROMs/music/backups/pictures/etc) on micro SD safe from wipes, resets, whatever. Just wondering what y'all use (cloud storage) or to where on the device to store important files like that for quick access.
Are there any cloud based storage services that twrp can see? I think it can see Google drive files, but not sure. I'm not familiar with what all locations get wiped or are safe from wipes.
Not a noob as I've been unlocking rooting for years, but far from an expert at it as well. I read and follow guides and educate myself as best I can and try to refrain from asking redundant stuff or just start flashing like a madman idiot and breaking things.
Still trying to grasp the whole systemless root setup with avoiding modifying system files. Can get a little tricky I tell ya. Lol
Anyway, thanks in advance for any input y'all can provide on the storage questions.

Coming from LG G4 with 32gb internal and 64gb as card i was worried but all my music I uploaded to google music (see how that goes on the underground) and I am using Google photos so all photos and videos are backed up either mobile or WiFi or both then in google photos it has an option to clear up device and it wipes all videos and photos from device which it backed up. Would never use these services usually but kind of have no choice really.
My only my concern is with the photos and videos as I create photo books and also videos of each month of the family and not tried downloading the vids and photos from the web version of photos app yet.
It maybe that I plug the phone in the computer and do it the old fasion way lol

Basically, you have:
1. Local storage - I chose 64gb, enough for me.
2. Cloud - personally I use dropbox. They start you off with 2gb and free up to 20gb. Other places may give you more 'free storage,' but come with limits - like Box gives you 50gb free, but max file size is like 250mb...
3. If you REALLY needed extended storage on the go, you can get an OTG cable and use a flash drive, if needed.

You may want to use this http://www.amazon.com/WEme-Type-C-R...=1446578560&sr=1-5&keywords=flash+drive+usb+c. You can plugin into nexus 6p and transfer files
Well, I use Google for photos and music, but mainly talking about files I use for root and my ROMs. I just started using Dropbox, but in an emergency needing to access files in twrp, I can use my leaf bridge I guess. Only thing is its not usb-c so I will need to buy an adapter.

When I purchased my HTC M9 last April it came with two years of 100gb of Google Drive, so I still have that along with my 128gb 6p.
I came from a 32GB Galaxy S6 to the 64GB 6P so i have more then enough.
For cloud i used to use DropBox till my 50GB of space expired and it lowered me down to 8GB.
So now i use Google Drive since i got a free TB for buying a chromebook.
Also if you can hit 200 points on Google Maps Local Guide you get another TB
Right now dropbox is ok for me
Really don't like dripbox. Find it clunky. Honestly google photos unlimited storage with photos up to 16mp and 1080p vids and google drive gives you free storage for files. Pdfs I store locally and music I use play music. With a google phone it all just works seemlesly.
I was first worried about the missing external SDCard, but so far I'm doing well with the 64gb internal storage. Since you can't trust external providers with your personal data, I recommend owncloud. Sure it's a little more complicated to install and configure correctly but you're in full control of your data and the access.
Regards,
I would love the 64gb version but I managed to pick up a 32gb one for 280 so can't really com plain too much.
Hi guys.
I have just got a new nexus 6p and intend on passing my current one on to my wife.
I have inserted the official USB cable in and Hooke up to my pc like I have done many times before to pull off my camera folder which is around 14gb
However it is showing as around 1gb once downloaded and a real random selecteion of pictures.
I used airdriod and could see the full 14gb folder and all its contents. However due to the size it bombs out every time when I try the zip file download.
So first off anyone know why the device is showing 10% of my pics and video ?
And any other ways I can get these files off ?
It's all backed up on Google photos but I like having it offline on my device.
do you use airdroid premium? if not, they limit file transfers, so thats most likely the issue there.
try using android file transfer app, see if you get different results.

Don't know how to fix it, but you can just download everything from the Photos site to your computer.

Like the title says, my wife is pretty upset. I got us both new unlocked s8+'s from best buy just prior to our cross country trip with our kids.
No SD card installed.
She took 200+ pictures and today they are gone. Only videos remain in the gallery, in my files, or even using a file explorer.
I called Samsung, waste of my time.
Google drive is the only cloud app being used (for documents), pics aren't there.
Any advice or thoughts? I've seen older posts on forums of this happening on android phones and not of the fixes have worked. (Clear cache, search for and remove .nomedia files)
Thanks,
Dave

Samsung has a junk file cleaner so you can get rid of unnecessary files. Your wife might have accidentally included her photos while getting rid of unnecessary files. You can ask her about this but besides that I don't know why the photos are lost (probably due to hardware error).

I'll ask her but I don't think k she did, it still says it can recover 1.5+gigs of space.
I used one of them file digger apps, I was able to retrieve all the smaller 200kb cached pictures from thumbnails and what not, but from what I've read you need root to recover the full size images...
There are a lot of stories of this happening to people when I search it and all different devices. So I hope it's not hardware. SD card going in and Google photo backup being turned on, just like the data thieves wanted us to do in the first place.....

If internal then she must have done something, if pics dissapear from sdcard its most like corrupt, best is to have that when u take pics it automatically syncs to a cloud service for backup.

Are you going to root? Afaik you can only do that on the exynos version (not usa)
Correct. No root available yet/ever, was just saying root seems like the only way people are getting back full res lost photos.

3 Questions
What gallery app are you using? Did she hide or exclude any folders by accident?
Thirdly, try running a recovery programme. You can get for free on the net. So long as she has taken no further photos or put anything else on hard drive should be able to recover.
Finally check all folders on phone and also check camera app settings to ensure the folder they are saving too is correct.
This issue is not exclusive to the S8 and looking around the internet this is an existing yet unsolved issue on certain Samsung devices. I'll post here to add a bit of extra information.
My mom's Note 4 also had the same exact issue where the pictures just flat out disappeared. (Pictures, videos, screenshots). No traces of it in any folders even with a different file browser. Issue happens again and again with no pattern or known cause. I told her to buy an SD card for it this time so if it did happen again, I have full access to the storage medium. I then set the camera to save to the SD card and let her use it as usual. Guess what, the problem happened again today.
This time I took the SD card, popped it into my PC and ran Recuva recovery. I was able to recover a few intact pictures and videos from it.
Note 4 SM-N910C (Exynos 5 Octa)
Android 6.0.1, Unrooted
No root available for S8 yet so none of the recovery tools work, your photos are really gone, that's so sad.
Suggest keep your Google photos sync on and regular backup of your entire phone with Samsung Smart Switch PC version.
See if this help to recover photos from Samsung Galaxy S8+.
Why do you need root to access recovery programme?

Exactly. I've tried multiple gallery apps, file explorers and android file recovery programs (which all end up requiring root).
I don't know why root is required to access the non-root folders for a deep scan, but they do.
I was hoping there was a way with ADB that I could make a copy on the computer to then scan, but I think it's probably a waste of time now.
And yes, it was internal storage like everyone days.
I'm hesitant to use any of the cloud backup programs because of some the vulnerabilities I don't agree with. We don't even put pictures of our kids on Facebook. Which is the most secure and least likely that I'm "agreeing to allow them to use the pictures for anything", because most programs say that in the TOS.
FOR NOW, we put an sd card in. If this seems to be a software issue, should we reset her phone or reflash the unlocked firmware with odin? I wonder if a specific app could be related to it.
I convinced her to not return the pho e, but now I'm not sure it's worth keeping if it's possible to happen again.

You guys can try a factory reset. I am actually going to observe this phenomenon happen. Also my mom doesn't like loosing her game saves. I told her to copy her pictures and videos frequently to her laptop in case it happens again (and it will happen again).

Try the below app from play store. This can help you setup an easy and automated backup to a local computer or a NAS.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sweesoft.sweethome
The app can be set to auto backup on connection to the home wifi or when connected to the charger and your home wifi at the same time.

Root is now out on the S8 (snapdragon) variant so you may still be able to recover them if you haven't found a fix :good:
Galaxy S8 photos vanished
Many thanks for this post. I suffered from exactly same problem yesterday. This is the first time ever I had this problem with Samsung. I have been user of Samsung S2, S5 and now S8.
I am extremely disappointed that one of the most expensive mobiles has caused this problem. I am going to contact samsung about it because many important picture files lost.
The only precipitant was that my battery completely drained out yesterday and when I turned it on there was loss of photos last from three days.
This is completely unacceptable service from such an expensive mobile. I am very upset. My camera photos gets saved in SD card and are backed up by samsung cloud as well as in google drive.
Please help me with suggestions to recover the lost data.
Samsung s8 plus issues lossing pictures
Thought samsung is the best of the best in phones software and the rest all in one phone but clearly I was wrong I lost loads of pictures on my samsung s8 I sold yesterday and my samsung s8 plus now doing the same thing to lost 100plus pics to I'm going sell this one it's my contract phone but I don't care I just carry on paying it off but I get better phone then this that I can trust....best ones are Vodafone platinum 7 and Vodafone v8 so far are the best phones money can buy reliable to and trustworthy..... samsung makers are in software they need to do better much more improvements to
Please help me.
My problem was: suddenly my pictures disappeared from the Samsung Gallery App, but they do exist on several folders for ex. DCIM/Camera. Why arent they appearing inside Samsung Gallery? I did nothing different than what I usually do... I am so mad about this! I even did factory reset and I still cant see my pictures on Samsung Gallery
Same issue here. Just moved over from iPhone.
I've noticed that so far the pics affected have been in their own albums. One was hidden and one wasn't. 1 photo remains from the one that wasn't hidden. I think it only remains because I had texted the pic to someone.
Internal storage.
Developer Mode On.
Auto Update Off.
Have connected phone to a PC via USB prior to issue.
Images don't show in the file folders when I browse them from the My Files app, either. They're gone.
The other odd thing is this may have only started after changing this device name in About Phone.
Anyone else have a changed device name?
You guys should sync with Google Photos!
I pulled out my old Tab A 10.1 (2016) and forget just how ridiculously limited this thing is with space. I did some searching and found out that I should be able to use the "Format as Internal" feature, but the feature is nowhere to be found. The android version is at 8.1 Oreo, so it should at least be capable, but I can't tell why the actual button/feature is missing. Another method I'm seeing is by using ADB from the PC. the idea is fairly straight forward, and yet, not. I opened adb through cmd line. But the next step I'm supposed to do is enter sm list-disks to list my USB connected devices. But when I enter it, nothing happens. The command isn't among the list of commands brought up when you enter adb. So... I have no clue where to go next.
I just want my 256gb micro sd card to become the main/"internal" drive for my galaxy Tab A, so that all updates, apps, images, et, are saved, downloaded and installed on the SD card by default.
Not recommended. It will slow it down and may end up crashing it, losing data in the process.
Use the SD card as the data drive.
Internal memory is for the OS, loaded apps, the temporary download folder. The DCIM folder can go on either drive preferably the data. There can only be ONE DCIM folder on the device!
Always redundantly backup critical data to at least two hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.

I appreciate it. I didn't realize it'd affect speed. But ... the issue is that the tablets only has 16gb internal. Half the apps I install cannot by move to SD card. Some streaming apps can while others can't. And before I even know whether or an app can be moved, there isn't enough room to install to internal. Ive search everywhere and can't find anything to install apps from play store directly to SD card. This is a major issue with updates too. I have absolutely no intension of installing games. But the majority of the following apps I do need for business purposes. I need to have social (Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, Discord, Reddit, and Tik tok) for business purposes, as well as Etsy to shop and maintain my shop. Store apps I frequent for business materials (Amazon, Walmart, Target, Costco, Home Depot, and a few others). Utility apps for notes, docs, and calculating, among other things. Art apps for sketching and designing. And lastly some entertainment apps including Hulu, Vudu, Netflix, Disney+ Amazon Prime, and Kindle.
I know it seems like a lot, but please try not to criticize. I don't think it's too unreasonable being that I have all these apps and much much more just on my phone. I know it's a bit older, but I feel it's odd that my phone can hold this much without hinderance for updates, but a tablet can't.
I do truly appreciate your warning. I really do. But if you know the process (legitimacy), would you allow me to try it and I will take responsibility for the risk knowing full well you warned me? Please? Besides, the SD card was on sell, so it's not a big loss lol.
Take note that apps can only be placed on adopted storage media if the developer has specified support via the android:installLocation attribute.

And is "adopted storage" the termed used for describing the adb approach?

The 3rd party app doesn't is what jwoegerbauer
said.
This isn't the device for this job. Repurpose it for something else.
With those kind of apps you better get something with a huge internal memory.
Don't mix business with pleasure on a device; remember what pays the bills.
That said those apps you use for business are an open invitation for malware, phishing, hackers, etc.

Fair enough. Thank you both! Ironically I had it as our over glorified house remote to control Home Theater PC (unified remote), XBox, Lights, Smart devices, etc... but everything is available on streaming, so we got rid of HTPC, and everything else we've been using through our phones. It does however make a very sleek looking $15 paper weight ^_^ (It's value is apparently only $15 lol) Ugh, I refuse to go to apple... I wonder what device would meet my needs. I'm about to wear out Google lol. Anyway, thank you both again.

You're welcome.
You can find something for it to do... google repurposing old phones etc.
I have stock Samsung's only. They have a learning curve meaning they should be optimized before use. A model running on Android 9 or 10 would work nicely, disable firmware updates so it can't upgrade to 11 as that will break it. You want 256gb of internal memory, at least 6gb of ram and a SD card* slot is preferable.
If you use it for business consider getting 2 so you have a backup.
* all critical data goes here including everything you need for a complete reload.
Always backup critical data redundantly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. At the very least use a OTG flashstick to back the data up. Verify the data is readable and all there.
Never encrypt backup drives! Put them in a safe or deposit box if you must.
Develope a backup plan or eventually you will lose data.

@[email protected] Thats a "lot" to take in. The information is straight forward enough, but when I feel like a monkey banging against an obelisk ... lol. I do get it, I promise. I'll have to figure out a plan. I just went and picked up an S7. Shame on me tho: I asked for 256gb and after halfway done setting it up (at home) it occurs to me its a 128gb. That WAS my bad. Not the sales rep. I should have been paying attention to price difference, but I got the protection pla, and had rewards points and there was a Sale, so the price balanced out, and ya. . . I have the attention span of a 2yo. But not gonna take it back. It runs very smooth and stores what I need/want. Work tablet anyway, so aside from nes/snes/genesis/n64 emus and Lemmings game from app store, won't be loading anything heavy (*head drift slowly up and to the right as I get lost in dreams of VR*) Plenty of free space. Just really really disappointed that the Device still have the Phone and Messages app even though Call & Text feature is disabled in the US. Anyway, Thank you!I really really appreciate the emphasis on backup. New to business, so have to keep in mind how important info is. Thank you again for everything!
It is a lot to take in.
It's a evolutionary process of learning and adapting... not all done at once.
Depending on your device and needs you will modify what I said to fit your goals.
If you load a lot of apps 256gb is probably better.
I don't like creating open box specials but do what you need to do...
You need at least 50gb of headroom after you're done loading everything.
You can get by with a lot less but personally I want at least 100gb of headroom after loading on the internal memory.
No such thing as too much... it comes in handy.

Ooooooh ya, I am right there with ya on Open box stuff. There are very few things I trust open box, but phones and tablets are not among them. So, I have everything installed and I'm at 27% used on internal. So I feel pretty confident so far.

Yeah, I buy new phones only and so far its worked out well.
Sounds like you have enough internal memory
Get a V30 rated SD card like the Sandisk extreme. These run well. Format it in the device before using.
A .5tb one goes for about $75.
