I have a mobile phone and a kindle fire, both of which can be manually
mounted, but they are given names like "mtp://[usb:002,042]/" currently
the kindle fire. And "mtp://[usb:001,012]/" which is the mobile
phone.
How can I do a rsync backup of them both, or any backup at all really,
just in case the martians invade, again! :)
Thanks
Sharon.

If it's really mounted (for example, back in the old days nautilus
didn't mount smb shares, although it could access them just fine) - all
you need to do is to run 'mount' and examine existing mountpoints.
Presumably your devices are mounted either somewhere inside your $HOME,
or inside /run/media/$USER. And if you get a mountpoint - it's a simple
matter of running 'rsync -Hax $MOUNTPOINT $YOUR_BACKUP'.

using "jmtpfs /media/galaxy". But doing that gives a very flakey
connection, prone to dropping it or i/o errors. Neither of which are
conducive for a successful backup! And currently, only the mobile is
showing in 'lsusb' even though the kindle is mounted as well!
The mtp protocol/file system is very problematic and doesn't appear to
be handled well by linux at the moment, but I return to it every few
months in the hope that it has progressed!

If you have installed some kind of android recovery in the bootloader,
you can ask it to 'mount usb', and then access it like a usb drive.
This is cumbersome to do often, so what I normally do is install an
ssh server and then use rsync over ssh to backup or transfer files.
Quicksshd is what I use to this end:

Short of installing an FTP(s) server on a phone - no, I'm out of ideas.

Is your kernel 32 bit or 64 bit? If the latter, you should try
the .x86_64 version instead of the .x86 version.

32-bit, which is why I chose the "go-mtpfs.x86" version.

Sorry.
I've seen a lot of misunderstandings recently between 32 bit and 64 bit.
If the problem with their precompiled binary is dueto kernel differences
between what you run and what they ran when the compilation was done,
compiling it yourself should avoid that.
OTOH, if the diference is between the kernel you run and the kernel they
targetted when writing the code you may still be out of luck.
The instruction in the README, as shown on the project's main github
page, look simple enough -- and look targeted at debian -- that it
should be quick and simple to try a local compilation.
