Since I got an iPhone as a company phone, never went back - yet - to an Android or Android-based phone.

How to backup the iPhone when I don't have any Windows or MacOS machine ?

My daily driver is Linux Mint. I need to keep my phone backed up on a regular basis (before any activity when it could get stolen or damaged)

Have an up-to-date OS and install specific packages

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install libimobiledevice-utils ifuse gtkpod gvfs-backends

In order to check setup, connect the iPhone with the cable, validate that you trust your computer, and type : ideviceinfo

mkdir ~/iPhone ifuse ~/iPhone

fusermount -u ~/iPhone
