What I need to do is to be able to back it up to the external SD card, which I can then dismount, remove it from the mobile and mount it on my linux box. From there I can rsync it, but I was hoping for a solution that wasn't so labour intensive. That's the plan for this week, and once that system is working, it will be no hardship to redo it monthly, and maybe even set up obnam to back it up as well, which I much prefer. But, anyway, thanks folks.
