That's a good point actually.
If I could self-host a server that my devices were authenticated with and constantly backing up to (and geo-tracking), then that would be useful.
Currently I have syncthing and no authentication with anyone/thing else.
This is a major reason I root, so backup apps like NeoBackup actually work.
Then Syncthing keeps those backups in sync with a home machine.
Lose my phone? No big deal, setup Syncthing on new one, let files sync, launch Neo, restore.
Hmm, I'll check that out... I've avoided rooting due to a botched cyanogenmod conversion (my fault not theirs) back in the day...
