How To backup Any Android Devices - Kunwar Lab

There is a lot of times we lost the data because of our phones crashes due to some sort of virus attacks or it might crashes sometimes unexpectedly or we lost the phone which is the most common case, so we need back up all our data and contacts time to time so we can access of those files which we might lose.

To get that data safe, you need to enable cloud backups for as many things as possible, so that logging your account into a new handset transfers most of the data automatically to another phone easily. But not everything can be backed up that way, and that's why it very important to take regular backups of your phone on time to time.

While some of the great third-party apps are found on the app store like Titanium Backup It will let you take a full backup of your Android phone but those apps are not for everyone. Most users don't know about rooting their phones which is a little bit tricky and you need some technical knowledge to do that or maybe you don't want to mess around with installing ADB drivers. No worry, it may take a few more steps, but you'll get there very easily.

Here's how to back up almost any Android Devices.

Backing up using Gmail Account

1. On your phone, go to Settings > Accounts & sync.
2. Under ACCOUNTS, and tick mark "Auto-sync data". Next, tap on Google. Now, tap on the Gmail ID you used to sign onto the phone.
3. Here, you can turn on all the options so that all your Google related information gets synced to the cloud. This includes your contacts, photos (uploaded to Google+, privately if you want), app data, calendar events, Chrome tabs, your Google Fit data and more.
4. Now go to Settings > Backup & Reset.
5. Check Back up my data.

This will save app data and all of your phone's settings including Wi-Fi passwords to your Google account. When you sign in using this Google account on another phone, all of your preferences, photos (via Google+), and contacts will be imported automatically.
