Hi Marc

That is unfortunately a halicination. We do not have an adb binary from 
any android sdk. We probably also lack many dependencies.

If you can get mpd working you can backup some files but android is very 
limted in backup. Your best bets is a Backup App on the phone writing to 
an SMB share or fully switching your important stuff to nextcloud and 
hosting that on your OpenIndiana NAS.

Other than that I am not aware of any good Android Backups strategy
