As the famous Iitish wisdom says, the sysadmins are divided into those who do not make backups, and those who already make backups. I think, each at least once after the firmware or failure had to configure the phone / tablet from scratch. But it's not necessary to do it at all if there is a saved backup. In this article, we consider different types of backup ( backup) Content android devices for all occasions.

Introduction

Having received a root on the smartphone, the average user starts experimenting with the device and set various interface modifications, topics, fonts, new kernels, firmware, radio and root applications. As a permanent, long-time and active user of 4PDA and XDA developers forums, I can say that very often such experiments end in issues with wording: "The phone does not load, what should I do?" I even carefully read the instructions, you can allow a typo or click on the wrong button, after which you get bootloop - the eternal load of the phone with repeating butanimations. In the worst case, you can get "brick" - the phone will not turn on at all. It happens very rarely, and, frankly, you need to try to, for example, kill flash memory. Usually the fact that users consider "brick" can be successfully restored by simple manipulations. And the backup will help us very much. The basic features of the backup that will satisfy most of the usual users offers Google herself. In the phone settings there is the Account tab, in which you can set the necessary checkboxes. After flashing or resetting the device to factory settings or activation of the new android phone Restore contacts, history and tabs browser Chrome., Google Keep, Photos, Application data, calendar events, and so on. IN recent versions Android can restore the desktop with all the shortcuts and automatically deliver all the applications installed earlier. However, Google cannot take everything. System settings and applications will reset, saved passwords (or rather, authentication tokens) will disappear, applications from third-party markets will not be re-installed. Therefore, we need tools that can save everything at all. We will talk about them.

Warning

Most applications described in the article require root and busybox.

Bacup applications and their data.

I myself stick to the "Clean Installation" approach. When moving to a new firmware, it is easier for me to configure programs from scratch. Yes, and the appearance of bugs in this case is reduced to no, especially when moving to the next major firmware version. But many users are more convenient to save application settings and restore them on new firmware. This is especially true for third-party programsthat are not in the market. I will focus on the two most popular applications that have millions of downloads.

Titanium Backup.

The most powerful backup, recovery, freezing and removal of applications along with their data (including system and pre-installed by the manufacturer). Allows you to configure automatic backup on schedule without closing applications, and transfer any application on an SD card. You can store different backups of one application, save SMS, MMS, call history, browser bookmarks, points access Wi-Fi In the form of an XML file. Can synchronize all backups in Dropbox, Box and Google Drive. With this application it is easy to make any user application system, add encryption, link the application to the market after recovery (for further updates). Convenient feature - Creating based on application backup and Update.zip archive data, which can be flashed from the recovery console to restore applications and settings. One of the most useful applications Titanium Backup is to transfer applications and their settings between devices. As an example, I will show how to make the popular Whatsapp messenger on the tablet without a SIM card. When searching for the program in the market on the page describing it will be indicated that this program is not supported on your device. Even if you download and install APK, to activate the program, you need a dialing to the device, which the tablet without SIM (or LTE with the tariff without voice calls or drank from the firmware dive) cannot do. So, we go to Titanium, we are looking for the desired application, click on it and in the pop-up menu click "Save". If you make a swipe left in the menu, you can call additional functions. The same menu can be called long tap on the application in the list. After working out the script, a new record of the creation of a successful backup will appear in the notification panel. For convenience, I advise you to configure backups in the cloud in the program. Synchronization can be configured on the third tab - "Schedules". Click "Start" on the "Synchronization with Google Disc" paragraph, and a successful execution will report notice in the curtain. On the tablet, launch Titanium and synchronize backups with a cloud. It just made backup from the phone just downloaded. Whatsapp will be at the very end of the list of programs. The stricken name means that the program on the tablet is not installed. Click on the program and select "Restore" in the pop-up menu. Everything. You can run WhatsApp.

Helium - App Sync and Backup

The main difference of the program is the ability to work without the availability of superuser rights (the application uses the standard Backup Manager, available in any Android since version 4.0. - Ed.). In this case, part of the functions are cut and require an application-companion on the computer. The program will allow you to make a user dining room backup, messages and call logs, Wi-Fi access points. System applications can not be back, even if there is a root. Also, reservation can be prohibited by developers of some programs. They will be at the bottom of the list. For example, the same WhatsApp will not work. Helium remembers all the devices on which it has been launched and allows you to restore backups separately on different devicesoh. Backups can be stored on a memory card or in the cloud (Google Disk, Box, Dropbox), as well as make them on schedule. Another feature of the application - data between devices is easy to transfer, for example, starting the game on one device, you can continue on the other.

IMEI.

There are no cases when after the firmware stops working cellular and the Internet. This is a sure sign that IMEI Fleel (International Mobile Equipment Identity - International Identifier mobile equipment). This number is unique for each machine and serves to identify the device on the network. If it fails, it can reset, and the device will cease to see the network. To avoid such cases, I advise you to make a backup of the EFS partition containing IMEI: Using the programs from the market, hands through the console (AdB Shell) or on the device through the terminal emulator. It is worth noting that for different devices, the partition table can differ radically depending on the chips used. In the case of Nexus 4, in the terminal you need to enter the following commands: Bacup IMEI: SU DD if \u003d / dev / block / mmcblk0p8 of \u003d / sdcard / m9kefs1.img dd if \u003d / dev / block / mmcblk0p9 of \u003d / sdcard / m9kefs2.img Restoration IMEI: SU DD if \u003d / sdcard / m9kefs1.img of \u003d / dev / block / mmcblk0p8 dd if \u003d / sdcard / m9kefs2.img of \u003d / dev / block / mmcblk0p9 Nexus 5 does not have a separate EFS partition. Therefore, it is necessary to publish sections 12 and 13 containing not only IMEI, but also other data: SU DD if \u003d / dev / block / mmcblk0p12 of \u003d / sdcard / modemst1.img dd if \u003d / dev / block / mmcblk0p13 of \u003d / sdcard / Modemst2.img Restoration is carried out by a similar team.

Photos and video

After unsuccessful firmware Or, for example, damage or theft of the phone, the most unpleasant sensations cause loss shot video and photos. After all, applications can be renovated, passwords, if necessary, restore, and the photos, if you do not progress in advance, will disappear forever. And in the market there are programs for every taste for saving your photos and videos. Consider a few of them.

Google+

Standard program from the "Corporation of Good", pre-installed on all stock firmware. I have long been on all devices (at the moment there are more than 10 thousand photos in albums). Automatically synchronizes all captured photos with closed Picassa albums (soon the same function will appear in Google Drive). Photos will be available on all devices on which an entrance to one account is made. If there is an Internet, all photos can be viewed even on a new device by running input to Google Account. A nice bonus is an autocorrection of some photos, the creation of collages from similar photos and Gif animations from the series of photos. Also automatically appear "car crafts" - cutting to the music from a variety of photos and video taken in one day. When changing the selection of photos and videos, "Stories" and "Travel" usually appear.

Other options

• Mega. - It gives the default storage of 50 GB, has flexible settings, a synchronization client for a computer and an extension for the Chrome browser. Different viewing modes, the ability to open folders for other users.

• Cloud Mail.ru. - 100 GB for new users. It has a nice interface and client for a computer.

• Dropbox. - Interest in what has a Carousel app-Companion, which can not just automatically load the pictures, but also clean the smartphone from those that are already loaded.

Info.

Important backups are better stored in a cloud or on a computer to use even after a complete wipe device.

Bacup of arbitrary files

For backup files on the SD card also have various programs. In general, they have similar functions and are distinguished by an interface or supported cloud services.

Foldersync.

Material Design, Support Amazon Cloud Drive, Box, Dropbox, FTP, Google Drive, Mega, OneDrive, SMB / CIFS, WebDav, Yandex Disk. It has a built-in file manager, a variety of settings, filters, convenient planning. Ability to configure bilateral synchronization, transfer hidden files, Setting the transfer via Wi-Fi / Mobile Internet, Tasker support, PIN protection, the ability to synchronize nested folders.

Datasync.

The ability to synchronize between devices via Bluetooth, schedule, application data, files and folders. Automatic bilateral data synchronization will allow you to save game progress and automatically download it to all related devices when changing data on one of them.

Dropsync.

Advanced synchronization client with Dropbox. Download photo and video, battery charge monitoring, Wi-Fi / 3G / 4G / WiMAX connections and adaptation in accordance with user preferences, customizable autosynchronization interval, plug-in to Tasque, the ability to select synchronization mode: only loading, loading and deletion, only Download, Mirror download and more. In fact, this is an analogue of the Dropbox desktop client with synchronization on the fly (as in the Linux version of the client, the file changes are tracked using the Inotify mechanism, so it is synchronized with everything at once, and not at certain time intervals).

Info.

For Linux / Unix users will suit RSync Backup for Android, which will allow you to send and receive files from remote Server via ssh. Has support for Tasker.

Full device backup

Nandroid Backup (from Nand - type of memory used in modern smartphones) - the full backup of the entire firmware is entirely with the applications given and the settings. The function is supported by TWRP or CWM. In addition, the backup can be done directly from Android using the Online Nandroid Backup program. Restore individual data will help the Titanium, as well as Nandroid Manager. First, let's see how to make a backup from the recovery console.

CWM.

To create a backup, you must select Backup and Restore, and then Backup to / SDCard. Before clicking, you can select a backup format or release unused data. To restore, select Backup and Restore and further Restore From / SDCard. If you select Advanced Restore From / SDCard, you can specify to restore the Boot, System, Data, Cache, SD-EXT sections separately. For greater safety, the resulting backup can be transferred to the computer. But there is one snag. The fact is that if the device has an "external" (real) memory card, CWM will place backup in it and it will be available to save on a computer with standard tools (CLOCKWORKMOD / Backup directory / date-and-time-backup on the memory card ). Here everything is in order.

Lyrical retreat, or recognition in love for Nexus devices If you look at the structure of the Nexus device partitions using the ADB Shell BusyBox FDisk / DeV / BLOCK / MMCBLK0 command (you need root and installed from the BusyBox market), you can see the following picture (see Screenshot "Partition structure on Nexus 5 and Nexus 4"). The ABoot section is the primary bootloader. It can be damaged if, for example, to flash kernel or bootloader from another device or pull the cord from the phone during the firmware process. At the same time, the partition table flies and the phone stops loading into the bootloader and recovery, and also stops responding to the FastBoot and ADB commands. An ordinary user thinks that it is "brick", and carries the phone in service centerwhere pays more than a hundred dollars for a new one in return to the alleged burnt fee. In fact, in section 15 at Nexus 4 and section 11, Nexus 5 contains a backup copy of the bootloader - ABOOTB. This is one of the reasons that it is almost impossible to kill Nexus, because the backup bootloader can be restored without any problems. Turn off your smartphone and turn on with simultaneous keystroke . Then simultaneously press and hold the combination of buttons (It will work only if the main bootloader is killed). After that, connect the device to the computer (now it is determined and the ADB will earn) and copy the backup loader to the section of the main commands of $ ADB SHELL SU. The partition table will be restored, and if necessary, you can further flash the desired bootloader.

However, in smartphones without a memory card slot or in the absence of a backup, it will be invisible to the user. This is due to the fact that from version 4.2 in Android has changed internal memory mounting points to ensure work in multiplayer mode. The virtual (internal) memory card itself is mounted in / Data / Media, and there is a CWM backup. But the main user data is in / data / media / 0, and this directory is then mounted as / sdcard. Therefore, the backup will remain unavailable using standard tools and without root rights. You can get backup from / Data / Media using a file manager with superuser rights or by connecting a smartphone to the computer in Recovery mode. Next, enter the ADB Shell command, and then LS / SDCard / ClockworkMod / Backup / to search for a catalog with the last backup. We carry backup approximately such a command: $ adb pull /ssdcard/clockworkmod/Backup/2015-04-20.15.46.18 \\ "D: \\ Nexus5 \\ Backup \\ Nandroid \\ 2015-04-20.15.46.18" Where the numbers are previously found backup, The corresponding date and time of appearance, and at the end - the path on the bag for storing a backup, which can be arbitrary.

TWRP.

To create a backup, press the backup button and the crosses mark the necessary sections (not sure - choose everything). Additionally, you can remove encryption, enable compression, skip the creation of MD5-hash and select saving to USB - OTG USB flash drive. As a result, the backup will be in the / sdcard / TWRP / backups directory / date-and-time-backup. Unlike CWM, it will be available regardless of the availability of a memory card. For recovery, click Restore and choose the desired one.

Info.

There are in the market a large number of programs for separate backup and restoration of SMS, calls, contacts, nuclei, recovery and so on.

Nandroid Manager.

This is a universal tool for managing all Nandroid backups. Using Nandroid Manager, you can restore from Nandroid application and data, SMS, call log, Wi-Fi access points, saved conjugate bluetooth devices, user dictionary. The application sees backups created in both custom recovery, and allows them to rename and search for information in separate bases inside the backup.
Features Nandroid Manager

Online Nandroid Backup.

Allows you to make a backup on the device running in normal mode without rebugs into the recovery. In the settings, you can select the following parameters:

• Backup name - each time manually / by time zone UTC / by the time zone of the phone / based on the firmware version number, including the creation time.

• Bacup type - CWM / TWRP with or without compression.

• The mode is normal (full) / selection of sections for copying. When choosing the latter, the list opens with the choice.

• Place to save backup.

• The number of backups for storage from "all" to 10 (when overflowing is older is removed).

• Saving sections YaffS2 as tar-files.

• Exclusion Dalvik Cache from backup.

• An exception google files Music from backup.

The program supports uploading backup files in a cloud, FTP or Google Drive. A custom schedule is available for automatic backups, from "every day" to "every 30 days" with the option "Only when the device is charging". In addition, with the plug-in supported actions for Tasker.

Bacup with ADB

The way, so to speak, for gickers. We connect the smartphone to the computer, turn on USB debugging. Next, we use the ADB Backup command, which has the following keys:

• -F file is the location and name of the file created by the backup on the computer. If there is no one parameter, the backup will be created in the current folder with the name Backup.ab. IN the case of Windows Ways with spaces and specialsions should be included in quotes.

• -APK | -Noapk - save or not in the backup APK application. By default - do not save.

• -System | -Nosystem - Save system applications in backup. Default - save. Select -NOSYSTEM Disable Save system applications when the key is set.

• -all - save all installed applications in the backup, including systemic.

• --Shared | -Noshared - whether the application data and the contents of the memory card are included in the backup. By default - do not save.

• - Here you can write a list of applications that will be backup. Ignores -Nosystem.

Accordingly, to perform a complete backup, we use such a command: $ ADB Backup -f "D: \\ Backup \\ ADB-2015-04-20.ab" -APK -shared -all -System After that, now NOW UNLOCK Your Device and and Confirm the Backup Operation, and on the phone a notification request to confirm the operation and install an optional password on the backup. The process of creating a backup can last more than forty minutes, so it is not necessary to nervous. To restore, use the command "ADB Restore path-to-file" command, for the example above it will be: $ ADB Restore "D: \\ Backup \\ ADB-2015-04-20.ab" Confirm the request on the phone, enter the password (if installed when Backup) and waiting for recovery that can take even more time than the creation of the backup itself.

Conclusion

I hope this article will help you save time and nerves in experiments with the device. And even the loss or theft of the phone will not be a tragedy when photograph and applications stored in the cloud cloud.

Good day!

Here is such an allegory as never close to life. Usually, any problems and breakdowns with a telephone (as with PCs) arise suddenly, and most of them cannot be foreseen. Accidentally knocked or dropped the device - and all, write disappeared ...

In this short note, I will give a few tips on the simple and rapid backup of all the main data on the smartphone: contacts, photos and video files. In general, after spending 10-15 minutes on it. time - you will protect yourself from many losses in the future.

Copy of contacts

Option 1

• open phone settings, section: "Settings / Accounts / Google";
• if you do not have your own google account - It will be necessary to pass an easy registration procedure;
• after moving the slider opposite "Contacts" Right (i.e. On) and wait until notification will appear "Last Synchronization ...".

Contacts are synchronized

Actually, everything! Now all your contacts will be periodically saved in auto mode. If the phone is lost (or replaced) - then entering the new machine into your account, the contacts will automatically be loaded into the device's memory.

Option 2.

To start it, you first need to open the address book, click on the "three points" and select the item in the settings "Import Export". See the screenshot example below.

Import / Export contacts. Android 9.0.

Saving contacts on the SD card

Actually, you will only need to check whether the file has been saved on an SD card "00001.VCF" (This is the default name). Of course, the SD card with this file is better not to wear in the phone, but put in a safe place (and if disappear on the phone - Bacup disappear).

Contact file saved

Important: To restore contacts - you will need to do a reverse operation. Those. Connect an SD card with a file (with contacts) to the smartphone, log in to the contact log and activate the function import…

Option 1

The easiest option is to periodically copy everything to a computer or a spare SD card (which lies at home and does not "travel" together with the device).

But I do not really like this option, because Over time, it all anniversary is forgotten, and how evil - in opening time It will not be a fresh backup.

Option 2 (auto-mode) 👌

It is much more convenient to configure auto-copy of all photos and video to the cloud disk (I am impressed by Yandex disk). What are the pros:

• files are loaded on it automatically;
• files on a cloud disk can be viewed from any device that has access to the Internet;
• it is quite reliable;
• when the phone is loss - access to the disk (and therefore, the photo) is restored for a couple of minutes.

Using Yandex disk is very simple: after installing the application to your smartphone - open it settings and enable auto-download photos and video (Also in this section, you can specify when loading - only on Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + mobile Internet) .

View the same photo on the Yandex disk, even on the phone performed quite well: they can be sorted by date, albums, etc.

Sort photo by date

Concerning installed applications - Then, as a rule, they are all automatically reinstalled to another smartphone after entering the Google account.

The easiest way reserve copy Android-smartphone contacts - use account Google to synchronize your contacts. All data will be stored on the network, and in an emergency, they can be quickly transferred to the desired device. It is possible that synchronization has already been enabled on your smartphone when you first set up. If not, it is easy to connect it. Depending on the version Android process May differ slightly: open the settings.

Go to accounts. In the old Android versions, this element may be called "Accounts and Synchronization".

Open Google Account and make sure that the "Contacts" option is activated. After that, the data will be automatically synchronized and will be able to be restored on any device where you configure your account.

If you do not have a Google account, you can create it using the "Add Account" function.

Now you can sync contact online on google page. Contacts.

Please note that synchronized will be the contacts that are stored in Google account. These do not include phone numbers that you saved only on the SIM card. Exporting contacts on an SD card or in a smartphone memory you can save contacts in the VCard format on the SD card or in the internal memory of the smartphone. The function required for this is already built into the "Contacts" Android application. Depending on the version of the OS, the copy procedure may differ slightly: open the contact application.

Open the menu (icon with horizontal strips in the upper left corner) and select "Settings".

In the "Contact Management" section, click Export, select the desired account, and then click Export to the VCF file.

Determine the storage location of the memory card (if it is available) or the internal memory of the device.

Enter the file name, and it will be saved.

To restore contacts, select "Import" item in the settings instead of exporting, and then specify the VCF file and the target folder. Programs for backup contacts

In addition to those described above, there are other ways to store contacts on the Android smartphone. Some manufacturers offer special services for data backup. Check if there is such a program for your smartphone model.

There are also suitable programs from third-party developers, such as the Titanium Backup application. To back up contacts through a connected computer with Windows, you can also use the ARDROID program. On some old devices, it is possible to copy or save contacts on the SIM card. However, so you risk losing the associated data, for example, the image of the profile.

Backup Android or differently - backup (eng. Backup) is the most important operation to save the user data, which allows you to quickly restore all the basic information after, as well as if it is lost or breakage.

However, not all users make backup. Some do not know about such an opportunity, others are infinitely laying off the action for later or just elementary forget to make a backup. In this material, it will be described how to make a backup of information (backup) in the Android operating system.

Why do you need backup?

IN modern world Information is usually much more valuable than the carrier on which it is located. If a carrier (smartphone or memory card in it) broke, then with this annoying fact you can reconcile and buy a new one, but the unlimited loss of important data can bring big problems. Imagine that you have lost all important business contacts, developed for a long time and on which your basic activity depends. Their loss does not go to no comparison with the loss of the smartphone.

In addition, backup will help quickly transfer information to new smartphone or tablet. Using standard Android facilities or backup utilities from third-party developers, the user will not need to be updated on the new device to re-install and configure the necessary applications, transfer contacts, photos, calendar schedules, etc.

Where is the backup stored?

1. Android backup can be stored in cloud service on the google servers or server developer servers used to create a backup.
2. Backup applications are offered to save backup on microSD or internal device memory. However, it is not the best waybecause When a memory card failure or smartphone loss, the backup will also be lost.

In the latter case, the backup file is better to transfer / copy to the hard disk of the computer or connected to the PC external storage.

How to make a backup of data using Android's own funds

For full-fledged use Android The device must have a Google account, one of the functions of which is the backup saving of user data in such services as: Google Contacts, Google Disc, Google Photo, Google Notes, Google Documents. We also disassembled, now we will analyze how to make a backup with it.

1. Enter B. android settings On your device.
2. Scroll to the section " "And tap on it.
3. Turn on the function " "Shifting the switch to the right.
4. Return to the previous settings screen and open the " Accounts».
5. Click on the point " Google».
   
   
6. In the next screen, tap the name of your Google account.
   
   
7. Here you need to select the data you want to include in a backup. All marked will be saved in the Google cloud service.

Backup staffing Android is convenient and once configured allows the user not to worry about the safety of your contacts in case of loss or breakdowns of the device. Enough on another machine to connect to your account and the saved data will be.

However, this method does not allow you to save the SMS storage history, call log, applications, and configurations. In addition, in the latest versions of Android, it is cooling the ability to get a backup file itself for storage on other media.

To get a full backup more convenient to use special applicationswhich in the store Google Play. Presented for every taste. Enter in search google row Play " backup"And choose any, based on user rating and reviews. Let's look at how to make a backup using the popular Super Backup application.

1. Install the Super Backup application from the Google Play store.
2. When you first open the application, the application will propose to configure the auto tracker. If you want to manually make a backup with this application, then refuse an automatic backup, taping along the corresponding button.
3. Open the SUPER Backup settings by clicking on the image of three vertical points in the right. upper corner Screen and selecting " Settings».
   
   
4. Define the backup file storage location in the settings by specifying the path to this place. Here you can specify as internal memory, So microSd map. Pressing the "button" View"Opens a list to specify a specific folder. Having finished with the assignment of the backup storage location, click " OK».
5. Switch to the main application screen where you select the desired type of information for backup: SMS, applications, log, etc. After that, tap on the button " Save"To create a copy.
   
   

To restore data from the backup file, click the "button" Restore"And specify the backup file from which recovery will occur.

It should be noted that Super Backup can save backup in the cloud google service The disk that eliminates the need to occupy a place in the device's memory and guarantees the reliable preservation of the backup.

On modern smartphones stored a huge number of necessary and important information, And each user sets up the phone individually for itself. And so, moving to a new device, the owner of the Android faces the situation when the operating system is required again. Perfect exit here - Deep or partial backup. But not everyone knows how to make a complete android backup quickly and safely using a tablet or phone, without losing important data.

How to make a backup of individual applications on android

It is not always necessary to copy the entire system, and the process is quite painstaking. If you need to save only specific programs - we recommend using this method. And here the ideal option is a special Helium application.

This tool without problems can be downloaded in free access with. It works on two "bases": or the provision and all frauds are carried out only on the smartphone, or and access to the PC, if you do not have the "superuser" mode.

The application allows you to save copies on and in cloud storage facilities, namely Drobox, Google Drive and Box, which is very convenient.

She can:

• Make backup the history of incoming and outgoing calls;
• Backup applications and their settings;
• Backup SMS and contacts.

The paid premium version has more advanced features, but if you only need to save, for example, games - will be enough and free.

The application perfectly works on fresh versions of the operating system, mainly on Android 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0. And now consider what actions will be performed in it:

1. Download and install the application on the phone. If the root-rights is not, we repeat this procedure on the computer. Available versions for both Windows and Mac. Also for PCs require drivers. You can find them on the official website of the manufacturer of the connected smartphone.
2. Now proceed directly to the backup operation itself. To do this, open the application on the device. In need of connecting through the wire to the computer. We are offered several options: a full backup of the phone or only specific applications. Please note that you can copy both the entire program with data and only data.
3. After all the checks, click "Backup". We choose where to save. If in the cloud, then specify the address if you open the service with the IP address and transfer it to the browser search string. We allow copying there. Ready. Copies have been successfully created.

And here it is already a little more difficult for business, since we need a complete saved copy of android. Of course, it will take more space, and there are several diverse ways to create it.

Bacup through the system option (no root)

The easiest and most comfortable option that came up with beginners and just users who did not want to spend their time. Open "Settings", go to point "System" – "Backup", in the location, choose Google disk. Made. Such information will be saved:

• Standard settings (language, time and date);
• Access points Wi-Fi and passwords, if activated;
• Screen settings (wallpaper, topics, brightness);
• Applications (in most cases is simply a list, but not internal settings and achievements in games);
• Content, located on Google Calendar;
• Materials stored in Gmail, individual settings mail.

Ruttle rights are not required, their presence does not affect the backup quality.

Unfortunately, malfunctions are possible during the backup process, because of which many users complain about the insufficient number of saved information. And on some devices such a system function is generally refused to work, it can touch the phones with operating system below android 6.0.

Android backup with FlashTool (no root)

This is an already more serious and heavy procedure that allows you to back up the entire firmware. Stages will be a lot and users who are not confident in their forces and technical knowledge we this option We do not recommend! But if you are an expert on android "with experience", you can safely begin.

To begin with, we prepare all the necessary materials so that in the process of the backup it was not to be distracted.

1. Download directly the program itself from the developer's official website ( flashTool.net);
2. Find original firmware made precisely for your smartphone;
3. If there are no MTK drivers on the computer, load them.
4. We get access to PCs, since without it, the backup is impossible here, check the efficiency of the USB cable and the serviceability of the connectors.
5. Next, remove two files from the firmware, namely the name of the number with the resolution tXT. and weg_l.bin. These materials move to a separate, empty folder.
6. Also put the folder where the software is stored.
7. Run early downloaded flashTool program on behalf of the administrator, This is a prerequisite.
8. Opens the page on which you need specify the path to scatter.txt Using the built-in ordinary conductor.
9. A new screen should appear, where the memory blocks are located. With them and you need to hold a backup. For this go to the "Memory Test" tab. We put the ticks opposite the first five points.
10. Turn off the phone, click on the computer "Start".
11. Now connect your smartphone using USB.
12. Information begins to read and displayed on the screen. As soon as the process is completed, the device is disconnected from the personal computer.
