I like using syncthing. It syncs all my apps that are backed up with neobackup, my pictures, files etc. to my NAS. Then my NAS runs borg on that directory as well as all the other important NAS directories to make the legit backups.
I have termux installed but I honestly rarely use it. Hate typing on the phone in the terminal… if I need to do it then I’ll just adb connect from my computer and do it from there on a real keyboard.
I also did the same as you but because they discontinued the official syncthing app on Android I skipped the "sync to PC first step. Now I directly go to Borg from phone night time only when charging, the automate app is able to invoke termux and run the backup script
Many times it happened the syncthing app crashed in background and I didn’t notice before after several days, now if the Borg repository server (borgwarehouse, it’s a must have) doesn’t see activity after some user specified time sends me a warning email
It’s also incredibly useful to backup /sdcard via rsync or Borg every night automatically
Or access the contents of your phone via SFTP
