			===Backuping via BackupPC===
			I'm a big fan of [[BackupPc]] and [http://www.tolaris.com/2011/06/13/backing-up-your-android-device-with-backuppc/ this guy] managed to link android & backuppc so let's give it a try.
			<br>Check the mentioned link but his setup is a bit different, running CyanogenMod while I'm using a stock fw.
			<br>Instructions here suppose your phone is rooted.
			====IP====
			Backuppc server needs to reach the phone so your phone needs a static (or DHCP statically attributed) IP or whatever dyndns system.
			====SSH====
			I'm using [http://wiki.yobi.be/wiki/Android_Apps#With_root_support SshDroidPro]
			<br>Make sure backuppc key is properly installed in /data/data/berserker.android.apps.sshdroidpro/home/.ssh/authorized_keys
			<br>Then test it as user backuppc, trying to access the phone and accept the server key fingerprint.
			====rsync====
			To get rsync binary, I found [https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android rsync backup for Android] which downloads a rsync binary during install (a weird way to deal with a GPL program IMHO).
			<br>The actual binary it downloads is available [https://sites.google.com/a/kowalczuk.eu/android/rsync here].
			<br>But Android wget doesn't support https so you've to transfer it to your phone by another mean.
			<br>One way is to install the application I mentioned and let it download that binary.
			<br>Then, to install it at a more rooted-Android standard place:
			<source lang=bash>
			cd /system/xbin
			busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
			cp /data/data/eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android/files/rsync /system/xbin/
			chmod 755 /system/xbin/rsync
			chown root.shell /system/xbin/rsync
			busybox mount -o remount,ro /system
			</source>

			====Wi-Fi====
			Make sure Wi-Fi will stay on!
			<br>Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > Never (or never when powered)

			====BackupPC config====
			My config: create new host in backuppc web interface with:
			XferMethod = rsync
			RsyncShareName = [/data/, /efs/ (useful??), /system/, /mnt/asec/, /mnt/sdcard/]
			RsyncClientPath = /system/xbin/rsync
			BackupFilesExclude = /mnt/sdcard/ => [/oruxmaps/mapfiles, /clockworkmod/backup, /radio_dump_*, /videos]
			Note that in the mentioned link he's using RsyncShareName = / and playing with BackupFilesOnly but for me it looks like BackupFilesOnly was not respected, so I preferred to have separate RsyncShareName
			<br>Some info on APP2SD [http://android.modaco.com/topic/331205-guide-how-to-get-more-free-space-for-your-apps/ here] and [http://ydal.de/android-2-2-froyo-apps-to-sd/ here]
			<br>I had errors "Ping too slow" so I increased
			PingMaxMsec = 400
			as anyway it's on local network
			====Non-rooted device====
			For non-rooted devices the setup is a bit different:
			* SSH server will run on a non-privilegied port, e.g. port 2222
			* login will be done with sshdroid permissions, not root, so it cannot access rsync binary neither /data content
			* rsync needs to be available so we'll transfer it again, as sshdroid user:
			scp -P2222 rsync galaxy:/data/data/berserker.android.apps.sshdroid/home/bin/
			then make it executable
			* BackupPC config is e.g.:
			XferMethod = rsync
			RsyncShareName = [/mnt/sdcard/]
			RsyncClientPath = /data/data/berserker.android.apps.sshdroid/home/bin/rsync
			BackupFilesExclude = /mnt/sdcard/ => [/Movies]
			RsyncClientCmd: add "-p2222" to ssh options: "$sshPath -p2222 -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+"
			RsyncClientRestoreCmd: add "-p2222" to ssh options: "$sshPath -p2222 -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+"
			Because we cannot directly backup /data content, what can be done is to use e.g. MyBackupPro to backup most of the data to the SD card, in a scheduled way.
