The title says it all. I want to wipe my phone and then only use open source apps. The thing im afraid of is not backing up my data correctly and losing things like my keepass.

I have to make sure the data from the open source apps is downloadable as well so i can reload them to my phone.

Any tips to assist me with this process?

Truu, i read that you need 3 backups!

3-2-1

3 copies, including the original

2 types of media

1 stored offsite

The first is to be used. The second is to restore the 1st in the event it is damaged. The third are to restore the first and second in case the building burns down.

It's the IT standard of care for backup.
