Oops: Backup to Old Phone

KAKuBCE

About this app

Turn the old phone in your drawer into a private backup storage. Oops copies photos, videos and documents from your phone to an old phone at home over your Wi-Fi network. Automatically, every night, with no cloud and no account.

Phone lost, broken or stolen? Your photos are already safe at home.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Install Oops on your old phone and choose a folder for the copies. The old phone becomes your home storage.
2. Install Oops on your main phone and scan the QR code shown on the storage.
3. Choose the folders to back up: camera photos, videos, downloads, documents.

That's it. Every night, while you sleep, Oops copies new and changed files to the storage.

WHY OOPS
• No cloud. Files go straight from phone to phone inside your home network and never leave your home.
• No account, no sign-up, no monthly storage fees.
• Private. Encrypted connection (HTTPS), pairing by QR code, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
• Fast sync. Only new and changed files are copied, so nightly backups take minutes.
• Deleted by mistake? A file you delete on the phone stays in the storage, marked as deleted.
• Previous versions. Optionally keep the previous version of every changed file.
• Plain files. Copies are ordinary files in a folder you choose. Open them with any file manager or move them to a computer.
• Automatic backup every night (by default while the phone is charging). Or start a backup manually at any time.
• One storage for the whole family. Back up several phones to a single old phone.
• More space. The storage can save copies to a USB drive connected via OTG.
• Exclusions. Skip files and folders you don't need with simple name masks.
• Activity log shows when each backup ran and how it went.
• Help when something goes wrong. If a backup did not happen, Oops shows the likely cause and what to do. The storage phone watches itself and tells you if the system put it to sleep or closed it.

GIVE YOUR OLD PHONE A SECOND LIFE
Your old phone already has memory, Wi-Fi and a battery. Plug it into a charger, keep it at home, and it works as a personal backup server. Reuse it instead of throwing it away.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Both phones must be on the same Wi-Fi network while copying. Internet access is not required.
• Requires Android 9 or later on both phones.
• Old batteries on constant charging can swell. Keep the storage phone in an open, cool place and check it from time to time.
• Languages: English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese.

Oops stands for Offline Old-Phone Storage.
