File transfer is trivial via SFTP or USB direct.

In which file does an Android device store such things as the

A simple file copy doesn't do a proper sync either

And Google means contact syncing solves that problem. I do not "back up"
to google though - don't trust them that far...

I don't want any of my data anywhere near google...
