Straight from the macOS Terminal app:

"DD(1) 
General Commands Manual 
             DD(1)

NAME
      dd - convert and copy a file

SYNOPSIS
      dd [operands ...]

DESCRIPTION
The dd utility copies the standard input to the standard output.  Input 
data is read and written in 512-byte blocks.  If input reads are short, 
input from multiple reads are aggregated to form the output block.  When 
finished, dd displays the number of complete and partial input and 
output blocks and  truncated input records to the standard error output."

Well...

I remember once that I did a factory reset on an old phone, intending to 
install the same things for another account. I could not install again 
some of the apps because the Android version was old, and they no longer 
had those apps in G Play.

I can concur with Carlos, and pretty much everyone in the world, in that
we've all, at times, reset a PC or mobile device w/o having EVERYTHING
backed up prior. We've learned from all those mistakes over time.

For example, on Windows, I save every install where it belongs.
 (e.g., c:\installers\shells\android\adb)

I then install each & every program where it belongs.
 (e.g., c:\apps\shells\android\adb)

And of course, I add a shortcut to the taskbar menu where it belongs.
 (e.g., menus > shells > android > adb.lnk

And, for some programs, I keep data where it belongs, but that's harder.
 (e.g., c:\data\shells\android\adb)

To back up the installers is as simply as copying "installers".
It's the same with most operating systems not designed by Apple.

With Android, the google play store replacement app saves the installer.
Even Android saves the installer (so it's actually auto-saved twice).

That allows plenty of backup & restore strategies for the user.

The main point of this offshoot though is that if you *want* to back up
your Android APKs, you can (and in fact, it's mostly done already for you).

Same with Linux & Windows.

But on iOS, you can't.
And that's bad.

And you never once mention the importance of backing up one's DATA.

Apps can be (usually) be installed from the same source you got them in 
the first place, but the data you create, accumulate and store in those 
apps can't be recovered from anywhere.

Sure it can, if you bother to do regular backups to icloud and/or your 
coumputer (using itunes or whatever apple has for your computer type).

The program code is downloaded fresh from the "app store", and you may 
end up with a later version, possibly unwanted, but it's data and 
settings are in your normal backups.

I'm surprised you didn't know this!

It's no longer shocking what Alan Baker will insist can't be, when everyone
but Alan Baker knows it (see a perfect example in my own header above).

Alan Baker has owned a bimmer for years and yet disputed what they're
commonly called in technical circles; and Alan Baker claims to 'teach
racing' and yet clearly has never studied the physics involved in
navigating differently various basic curves.

Alan Baker insists Apple has never done wrong (simply because, to him,
paying a half a billion dollars so that they don't have to admit guilt is
proof that Apple cannot do wrong because Apple has too much money to do
so).

Even the fact that Apple was charged with crimes and that Apple paid the
French prosecutor for those crimes, means, to Alan, that it never happened.

Moving on ... we're here to improve our technical knowledge, where I have
(what I think is) sage advice for how to plan on backing up all your data.

As for the technical aspect of backing up data, I've been doing that for as
many decades as the rest of you have, starting back in the 1960's on
magtape and punched cards (sorry, I never learned how to use punched tape).

It's my opinion, based on experience, that on Linux/Windows, you have to
plan for your data backup the day you set up your system. This is why I
have a directory for data on Windows that exactly mirrors the app dir.
 installers: C:\software\editors\text\gvim\.
 apps: C:\apps\editors\text\gvim\.
 Taskbar menu: menu > editors > text > gvim.lnk
 data:  C:\data\editors\text\gvim\. (e.g., tmp files & settings)

Your plan banks on being able to set the data directory of each program at
the time you install that program. Fat chance getting Adobe products to
respect that plan; but there are programs out there which allow you to set
the data directory (e.g., OSMAnd~ on Android allows you a map directory).

However, executing the strategic plan of backing up data is sort of like
what happens during war the moment there is contact with the enemy.

The enemy gets a vote. 
Hence, no plan survives intact after contact with the enemy.

It's the same with backing up your data.

The only plan that works all the time is to plan how you're going to back
up your system the day you set up that system - and then - you modify that
plan upon contact with each app or program. 

Consider the program installation your first contact with the enemy.
And change the plan accordingly - since the program gets a vote.

And now you make up a new lie.

Your original lie was that my not happening to know which term was used 
for BMW cars versus their bikes ("Bimmers" vs "Beemers"—I still don't 
care which is used for which) meant I couldn't possibly own one.

"Charged"? Yes.

My plan is to use appropriate backup software to deal with the entire 
system.

In days past, that was most often an application called "Retrospect" 
which I set up for clients both on individual systems, or using a backup 
server. Now I only use it for my Windows clients.

For those using Macs (including myself), I simply use the excellent 
built-in backup software, "Time Machine".

Hi badgolferman,

Logic. And sense. Equals reason.

Like you, and like any logically sensible adult, I will agree with anyone
who makes a claim that is logically and sensibly sound, and you know that.

I will even openly & willingly apologize publicly if I say something that
turns out to be incorrect - and you know that also.

These Apple trolls? Hmmm.... they never do either.
Their only goal is to defend Apple's honor... to the death. No matter what.

With respect to the technical problem of copying files off of iOS to any
other platform without using the cloud, the Apple trolls claim that iTunes
can do it and that SMB can do it.

And yet, Apple publicly disavows any support whatsoever of Linux.
And Android.

So how do these Apple trolls copy files from iOS to Android?
(HINT: They don't. They lied.)

When the Apple trolls claim to copy from iOS to Android using the Files SMB
capability, they're lying because it's not possible (to my knowledge).

If it is possible to copy from iOS to Android using SMB, let them tell me
how they did it because Frank Slootweg taught me years ago that an unrooted
Android can't set up an SMB server (due to the SMB ports being below 1024).

And how do these Apple trolls use iTunes on Windows safely & securely?
(HINT: They don't. They lied.)

The Apple trolls are banking on us not knowing the facts about iTunes.

It has been *many* years since the iTunes bloatware abomination had the
capability of copying the IPA to the Windows platform (and even then,
iTunes grabbed that IPA from the App Store - not from the iOS device!)

So the only way they're doing it, today, is that they're not.
They lied.

Not only does that many years old iTunes bloatware abomination have known
zero-day exploit which Apple has not fixed in those deprecated versions,
but if the Apple trolls were to initiate that backup today using that old
software, it *still* grabs the IPA from the *current* iOS App Store.

So they lied doubly so (since what they claim is impossible to do).
They can NOT get older IPAs. They can only get the *current* IPA.

Not only do these Apple trolls have to use known exploited bloatware to do
that, but that bloatware doesn't work on Android nor on Linux (which Apple
says they will never support).

In summary, I think I make a logically sensible reasonable case against
using iTunes to copy files between iOS and every other platform we use.

The Apple trolls vehemently (actually viciously) disagree. By lying.
(HINT: That's what Apple trolls do.)

Apple trolls think nothing of lying to defend Apple's honor to the death.

I will agree with anyone who says something sensible that is logically
defensible, where I agree with candycane that Linux iFuse is the way to go.

What AFC/iFuse allows on Linux is bidirectional iOS transfers over USB!

When I used to dual boot my Windows desktop to Ubuntu, I was initially
shocked at how *easy* it was to attain USB read access to iOS' file system!

That's USB. Not SMB. Not anything else. It's USB file transfers with iOS!

Since all that USB magic was done by iFuse, I desperately searched for a
Windows implementation of iFuse - but alas - it doesn't appear to exist.

That's sad because with tricks using Apple File Conduit (AFC) over USB that
only one in a million people are aware of, you can write to iOS' filesys.

Yes. Write. To much of the iOS filesys. Not just to DCIM!

Alas, iFuse & AFC do not exist (AFAIK) on either Windows and Android.

If anyone knows of an AFC/iFuse implementation on Android/Windows, please
let me know as being able to do USB bidirectional file xfer is fantastic!

You claimed I could own a BMW 135i because I didn't know how "bimmer" 
and "beemer" were used...

...yet you said just today:

"Alan Baker has owned a bimmer for years and yet disputed what they're
commonly called in technical circles; and Alan Baker claims to 'teach
racing' and yet clearly has never studied the physics involved in
navigating differently various basic curves."

And given that I can prove beyond any doubt that I am a member (and past 
chairman) of the Race Drivers Committee of the Sports Car Club of 
British Columbia, and have SHOWN the proof, the last part of that 
sentence is clearly false as well.

'The Race Drivers Committee organizes and operates the SCCBC Race Driver 
Training Program. The driver training program is an important part of 
preparing to enter the sport of racing at Mission and is a prerequisite 
to acquiring a Novice race license. The twice annual Race Driver 
Training program provides unparalleled instruction on handling vehicles 
under extreme conditions. For more information, visit the Race Drivers 
Training Program page.

Membership on the Race Drivers Committee is by invitation only. The 
committee is comprised of some of the best racers in British Columbia. 
Most committee members have won championships in their class while 
others have done consistently well over the years and have proven 
themselves capable of excelling in all race conditions.'

No one I saw claimed that.

You *regularly* side with Arlen, who *constantly* lies. So your
judgement there is laughably questionable at best, and a fucking joke at
worst.

But I'll indulge you anyway: Go ahead and point out this supposed "lie"
you claim I made, badgolferman. Absent of that, it's you who are lying.

No, I am saying nothing about the lock. I don't care, I don't have any 
Apple.

What I say is that if there is a lock, the Apple software may be gratis, 
but it is not Free (as in Freedom). Free means I am free to take the 
source code, remove the lock, recompile, and sell it myself. With 
variants in the details by the licensing.

Carlos, you personally don't get to decide for the world what the word

It is not my definition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software

*Free software*

Free software, libre software, libreware[1][2] sometimes known as 
freedom-respecting software is computer software distributed under terms 
that allow users to run the software for any purpose as well as to 
study, change, distribute it and any adapted versions.[3][4][5][6] Free 
software is a matter of liberty, not price; all users are legally free 
to do what they want with their copies of a free software (including 
profiting from them) regardless of how much is paid to obtain the 
program.[7][2] Computer programs are deemed "free" if they give 
end-users (not just the developer) ultimate control over the software 
and, subsequently, over their devices.[5][8]

The right to study and modify a computer program entails that the source 
code—the preferred format for making changes—be made available to users 
of that program. While this is often called "access to source code" or 
"public availability", the Free Software Foundation (FSF) recommends 
against thinking in those terms,[9] because it might give the impression 
that users have an obligation (as opposed to a right) to give non-users 
a copy of the program.

Although the term "free software" had already been used loosely in the 
past and other permissive software like the Berkeley Software 
Distribution released in 1978 existed,[10] Richard Stallman is credited 
with tying it to the sense under discussion and starting the free 
software movement in 1983, when he launched the GNU Project: a 
collaborative effort to create a freedom-respecting operating system, 
and to revive the spirit of cooperation once prevalent among hackers 
during the early days of computing.[11][12]

Aw, you beat me to it.

You are correct, of course -- it's free as in "free speech",

Since you and Carlos are the ones who know more than I do about this... 
  "LocalSend is fundamentally free and open-source software (FOSS).
   This means its source code is publicly available, allowing anyone
   to inspect, modify, and distribute it. This core principle 
   remains regardless of how it's distributed."

I aim for software that is akin to free beer, where I don't generally
modify that beer and then redistribute it, but, Apple seems to be doing
that in a way that is sanctioned by the provider of that free beer.
 <https://github.com/localsend/localsend/>

That is, if we go to the web page for LocalSend, it has a privacy policy.
 <https://localsend.org/>

Then, that LocalSend site has a link to an iOS section.
 <https://localsend.org/download?os=ios>

Which then takes us to the suggested iOS IPA on the Apple App Store.
 <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/localsend/id1661733229>

When you download that IPA, you can only do so with a valid Apple ID.

And then Apple unilaterally inserts not only a lock to that Apple ID, 
but Apple also invasively tracks your every use of that software, 
outside of the original privacy policy of the LocalSend web page.

Given those facts, now what would you call this software knowing that?

I don't know. I don't know the Apple ecosystem.

This may be akin to using software with key certificates. The 
verification of the certificate is open, but once there whatever the key 
opens is there.

Like sending an email encrypted or signed by PGP. The software itself is 
open, but it can not falsely claim encryption. Some programmer could 
take, say Thunderbird, and create a fork that falsely claims to encrypt 
but the mail is also using a key that the NSA can open.

This does exist, I worked for a company which allowed PGP in their 
corporate email, but using a doctored version that added a key owned by 
the company, so that they could read any email.

Is that Free Software? Well, their PGP version was published, license 
unchanged, AFAIK.

Cheers, Carlos.

Did they prevent you from substituting your own version?
