[Q] how to do a full complete backup without root? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can you guys tell me how I can do a full backup with this phone without rooting it? im looking to do a backup like I can on my iphone and be able to restore everything from pics to apps to settings and messages, would prefer to be able to do it over a cloud with a email but its not mandatory.
im looking to do a backup in a sense where if I lose my device I can just get a new phone and be able to restore completely.
thanks

Kies 3 should provide a usable PC-oriented backup, also for some Google programs a backup can be done on Google servers and now there is a Samsung Cloud option.
That being said I believe none of the options above is as good as having a rooted device and Titanium Backup

You could try Helium.

I think the Samsung cloud option is the best way

so will samung cloud work as well as icloud does in terms of backing up and restoring A FULL BACKUP

I don't think it backs up the memory card

Use MyPhoneExplorer pc-app. You can backup pretty much everything. This + Kies, you cannot lose much

Helium also did the trick to me fine

I've used this and it does a great job just ensure your contacts are synced via your google account and everything else should be fine.
could always use idrive lite to backup contacts as well
Awesome worked great.
It didnt backed up the data of my copilot like the maps.

If it is set up to do so, once you enter your Google account credentials it will automatically download your apps to the device. Otherwise you can go into the play store under your apps and download them.

Once you logged in with Google account in new tablet every app will be installed automatically from play store.

I recommend backing up using Titanium Backup, copy the backup file to the Nexus 7 and restore. This way, your data is also restored. Useful for games or apps that do not have backup capabilities. I.e. Generate data file.

If your titanium backup backups are stored on Google Drive you won't have to transfer any files. If there not then do so now

If you're not rooted you can't backup with titanium and the 1 app at a time is only for restoring with the free version of titanium.

well, that also means we have to be rooted when trying to restore to Nexus7 right?
Yes, Titanium Backup requires root to function in any capacity.
Is there anyway for Titanium Backup Pro (or another Play Store app) to create app+data .apk files that an un-rooted Nexus 7 could install?
ADB backup, perhaps...

download DataSync in the play store...you can transfer apps and data over wifi.
I personally just sync with AppBrain app market. That allows you to automate the process of downloading some what. Not as nice as titanium,buy it is an option that won't force you to root day 1.

[Q] Noob root question ab out backup

I am planning on using WugFresh's tool to root my Nexus 7 32 gig. Do the backup and restore tools put back all the apps and data or do the apps have to be reinstalled? I just want to be sure I don't lose anything and it would be really nice if I could root and have everything right like it is on the device.
Thanks in advance!
Just use the tool to backup if you don't know how to backup manually.

Migrate from Kitkat stock to MIUI without data loss.

As the title says, is there any way for me to migrate to miui from stock 4.4.3 without any kind of data loss?
A detailed reply would be beneficial.

You can backup your data from your sdcard and do a nandroid backup, but this will not work with different roms. At least this is my experience. I went from miui to cyanogenmod and it wont accept my backup.
But try titaniumbackup instead if you have rooted your device.

Thats totally okay. Do you just want to backup your sdcard storage or the app data? You can restore your app data with titanium backup, but you have to install all your apps manually.
When switching between different roms, backup app datas doesnt make that much sense though

Thanks !

Titanium backup should work, but don't restore any system apps. If you want pics, music etc copy then to your pc and copy then back to your new device

You can also use Helium Backup, it will backup everything including contacts and Apps
