FP2 backup solution without Google Store

[Asperamanca]

How can I backup / restore at least the most critical data on my phone, without having Google Play or Google Services?
-) Calendar
-) Messages
-) Contacts
anything else (including app data and settings) would be a bonus.

The same questions was asked more than a year before here: How to backup&restore with FP2

However, no real solution was offered:
-) Most backup tools require root access
-) The “many backup apps on F-droid” mentioned in an answer turn out to be not so many, since most apps that turn up when searching “backup” are not backup / restore tools at all. The remaining ones are either very limited in scope, or require root access.
-) It was suggested to “wait for an official way to root the phone”.

Are there any news? Does any working backup/restore solution exist that does not fully depend on Google Services?

You can find a list of tools that don’t need root here:

Backup Tools for FP OS

Since the original Topic was closed because it attracted spam I’m making this #wiki into it’s own topic. This is a list of backup tools you can use on an unmodified FP OS. If you have FP Open OS you are in luck: root and TWRP are pre-installed so you can make full system backups with TWRP and scheduled backups of Apps (user and system), Apps Data & User Data with Titanium Backup. You can use TWRP without flashing it for a full system backup. Helium Backup detailed Info …

PS: The thread you mentioned is very old and the info about waiting for an official way to root the OS is outdated. If you want root out of the box you’ll have to go livingwogoogle with #software:fp-open. If you want root on FP OS with GAPPS you’ll need to root your FP2 yourself:
