It can if you charge from your PC and set up some very convoluted scripts (not recommended).
I use `adb backup` solely as a means of transferring my settings & app library between devices.
These are full system backups including potentially gigabytes of APKs, so I wouldn't want to run it every night. It is possible to use `adb backup` to only backup settings (no app files) if you want a lighter backup, but those backups aren't as useful for my purposes.
Thanks for the answer. I just wanted to highlight that, I can just take my phone for the day, throw it under a bus, go to an apple store, get a new phone and continue where I exactly left off (minus a couple of 2FA keys, which I have backups of).
This is what I like about iOS. I tested this method a couple of times (with less destruction though), and it just works.
