What to use to backup IOS and Android to NAS

So I am planning to make a new NAS for my whole house that backs up not just the laptops and PCs but also the phones. I was trying to find a way but I was unable to find any solution that backs up IOS and Android. Do you all know of any piece of software that does this?

 

I do not want to buy a synology NAS I think they have a tool though.

 

Edit. Pictures are the only thing I really need on the Phones

What do you want to backup? Next cloud and others will do photo backups.

 

If you want full os bckups in ios you need icloud or itunes/finder.

Photos are the main priority but if it can also do contacts and WhatsApp conversations that would be perfect

Yeah, for iOS, you can just use iTunes to do a backup.

I could use some help with this!

Icloud photos can be backed up by downloading icloud on your NAS and from there downloading photos to a folder. 

Whatsapp conversations also get backed up to icloud (if you enable) where you can download files.

Is there anyway to automate this?

This is a python app that works on linux, mac, and windows. You will have to install python and figure out how to use the program, but it should work. 

On the whatsapp, if you go to Settings>Chats>Chat Backup you can set it to autobackup weekly or daily, but I don’t know how to autodownload that to your pc.
