Follow below steps to migrate the setup of Termux from Device A to Device B

Step 1. Backup termux on device A and run below command one by one.

• cd /data/data/com.termux/files
• tar -zcvf ./termux-backup_20211031.tar.gz home usr
• mv ./termux-backup_20211031.tar.gz /storage/[Device A ID]/Android/data/com.termux/files/termux-backup_20211031.tar.gz

Step 2. Restore the setup of Termux on Device B.

• Use a bluetooth keyboard to connect to the device B
• Open the termux app
• Grant the storage permission to the MicroSD card with command termux-setup-storage, and click "Allow"
• Go to the termux root folder with cd /data/data/com.termux/files
• Check the soft link target location with ls -al ~/storage/external-1 to get the [Device B ID]
• Copy the backup file to the termux root folder: cp /storage/[Device B ID]/Android/data/com.termux/files/termux-backup_20211031.tar.gz .
• Override the current home and usr folder with tar -zxvf ./termux-backup.tar.gz home && tar -zxvf termux-backup.tar.gz usr

Restart the Termux and see if all the setup are in place on device B.

Replace any script/soft link using the /storage/[Device A ID] to /storage/[Device B ID]
