HarveyDeven:
Excellent guide! Until now, I've relied on Google to back up all my stuff and it never disappointed me, but the options you presented here are very interesting. Might give some of them a try.

Automatic backing up of Android data has been a lot easy this days, your phone backup some stuff itself, but what if you lose your phone or drop it in water and lose everything. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to backup that data, you can backup everything to google. Ensuring that even if something does happen to your phone, you won’t lose all those important photos and some other files that are important.

Whether it be through Google, a third-party app, or your computer, you can easily restore lost files even after deleting ( an article that helps with restoring deleted files on android ). Here’s how to properly backup phones to make sure you never find yourself in a situation where you end up with lost data.

With Google

Backing up most of your data is actually pretty easy with Google, and it has gotten far easier over the past few years. Unfortunately there isn’t yet a one-stop backup method for Android phones through Google, but there are ways to backup different types of data.

Keep in mind, however, that these options don’t cover things like SMS, Here’s how to backup your data with Google.

Photos and videos

If you’re not already using Google Photos, you should be. The service automatically backs up every photo and video you take to the cloud, so you’ll never have to manually backup your media ever again.

If the Photos app isn’t already on your phone, you can download it here. Once it’s installed, you’ll need to make sure Photos is set to automatically backup your files. Here’s how to do that:

Open the Google Photos app

In the menu, head to Settings

Tap ‘Backup & sync’

Make sure the switch is turned on

The best part about Google Photos?

You can upload as many files as you’d like for free. Photos and videos will have a maximum upload quality of 1080p for the free storage option, which should be good enough for most people. If you’d like to keep the original quality of your photos, you can, but it will count against your Google Drive storage.

Here’s how to check your Google Photos upload quality:

Open the Google Photos app

In the menu, head to Settings

Tap ‘Backup & sync’

Tap ‘Upload size’

Choose the option you’d like

Of course, you probably have more than just photos and videos on your phone. Here are a few ways you can backup the other files:

Other files

Google Drive lets you store your other files in the cloud, which means they’ll be accessible from any connected device.

To manually upload folders and files, follow these instructions:

Download the Google Drive app, if you don’t have it already

In the app, press on the ‘+’ button

Press ‘Upload’

Select the file(s) you’d like to backup

That’s it!

Settings and apps

To backup your phone’s settings and apps, you’ll want to use Android Backup Service. This service essentially backs up the apps you use and the settings that you have selected in most Google apps, making it easy to restore those settings on a new phone. Follow the instructions below to activate it:

Open your smartphone’s Settings app

Tap on ‘Backup & reset’

Press ‘Backup account,’ and add your account, if it’s not there already

And that’s it! Your device should be pretty much all backed up now. Unless, of course, you want to use a third party service instead of Google’s own.
