Since I installed #LineageOS 17.1 (#Android 10) and rooted it with #Magisk, I'm looking for a good #backup solution. In the past I used #Titanium, but that is afaik not open-source and can only backup apps. I also found a open-source app in Fdroid called #Oandbackup, but it's also only doing apps and gives a message my system is not supported.

But what I really want is a backup solution that backups the entire system as a file. So I can flash it back in one go when needed. Does that exists?

I know can ask that on #XDA, but I hate XDA.
