Few Words:
Unexpectedly If your phone crashes, or worse gets lost or stolen, then you'll not just be down the cost of a phone, but also a huge amount of data.
so..To get around that, you need to enable cloud backups for as many things as possible, so that logging your account into a new handset transfers most of your data automatically.
But not everything can be backed up that way, and that's why it's still important to take regular backups of your phone.
Here's how to back up almost any Android smartphone...
Backing up to the cloud
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.
Now 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. This data is synced regularly and you just need to log into another device with the same account to recover it. This does not cover your text messages and various other types of data - you'll have to back them up yourself.
Locally back up media, messages and apps:
Now Next , if u want to save the music, movies and other media you've saved on your phone's memory card. This process is v.easy -
just connect your phone to a PC and copy everything that's in the microSD card.
This is a manual process so you'll need to make a routine of doing this.it is really helpful
To Save Media:
Connect your phone to the computer with a USB cable. If you are on a Mac, make sure you have the Android File Transfer application installed before you do this.
1.Open My Computer on your PC, or Finder on your Mac.
2.Navigate to the SD card and copy all the files you want to save to your computer.
3.After the copying is done, you can unplug your phone.
To Save Text Messages:
You can easily save all your text messages and call logs to your Gmail account by using an app called SMS Backup+. Try these steps:
With the Help of Third Party Software (Download SMS Backup+).
1.Open the app and tap Connect.
2.Pick your Gmail account from the pop-up.
3.Now grant SMS Backup+ permission to access your Google account.
Now go back to the app and tap Backup. This will save all your text messages to your Gmail account.
Log in to Gmail from any Web browser and on the left side you'll see a new label - SMS. Click it to view all the text messages that have been backed up.
To restore these messages, just tap Restore in SMS Backup+.
Tap OK in the pop-up.
You'll be asked to set SMS Backup+ as your default SMS app. Tap Yes. This is needed to restore messages.
Now the app will automatically restore all your messages and call logs. Once the process is complete, the app will show a pop-up that restores your default SMS app. Tap Yes.
To Save Apps:
The next step is to back up and restore installed apps. You can re-download apps easily if you're using the same Google account on the new device - just open Google Play, tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) on the top-left > My apps. You can install all previously purchased apps from there
By following these steps...
you're able to save a copy of all your
contacts,
text messages,
media,
apps,
Wi-Fi passwords,
and your app data.
Of course, doing everything one by one is a little cumbersome, and the best way to back up your phone is to use a third party backup tool. We've used Titanium Backup and it is excellent but it requires root access on your Android phone, which is something typically expected from more advanced users. Even its interface is too clunky for most average people.
