All,
Thanks for the answers.
I was already using Syncthing for some folders synchronisation between
computers,but now I start expanding it to synconize the folders of the
Android device to a seperate folder, which will be taken with the daily
backup.
If a dedicated Android app will be released it will be great, but so
far, this will do it.
Best regards,
Ronald

The way I deal with this is to keep all Android user data on a server
folder, which is backed up, and use a sync app such as Syncthing or
Resilio ( both free, I use Syncthing-fork ) to automatically sync
Android devices selected folders to the server in real time. Not a
true backup in the sense of a complete image I know but it protects
the valuable stuff. It's also nice that changes get propagated around
automatically.
This also works for Mac and I guess Win also which I don't use.

To the best of my knowledge, there exists no tool for obtaining a
complete backup of an Android device that does not require rooting
the
device first. If such a tool exists that I don't know about, I'd
also
be interested to hear. Google's own backup is not 100% complete; it
doesn't appear to back up Nova Launcher desktop settings for example.
