🔄 Folder Synchronization & Mobile Backup

OMD 3.0 Architecture Note: The legacy node-to-node SyncEngine mirroring rules from 2.x were retired in On My Disk 3.0 in favor of direct multi-device P2P streaming (DeviceRegistry), where all paired nodes are simultaneously mounted without duplicating gigabytes across disks. Existing 2.x sync entries in onmydisk.conf are safely ignored.

Supported Sync & Backup Workflows in 3.0

  1. Mobile Camera & Folder Auto-Sync (Android / iOS):
    • The native On My Disk mobile app supports automatic background photo/video backup directly to your home Linux or Windows node over chunked WebRTC DataChannels (HomeWrite), with zero third-party cloud storage in between.
  2. Obsidian Vault Sync (onmydisk-sync Plugin):
    • Synchronize Markdown notes and attachments between desktop/mobile Obsidian vaults and your On My Disk node, automatically feeding your notes into On My Chat RAG.
  3. External Cloud Mounts (rclone):
  4. Scheduled Disk Backups:
    • Because On My Disk works directly on native directories without proprietary container formats, standard tools (rsync, restic, borg, rclone sync, Robocopy) work directly against your shared folders on disk.
