Hi there,
i am searching for an app that can backup automatically some folders from internal sd-card to external-sd card(not to cloud), if it can be scheduled then it will be perfect
Does someone know such an app ?
best regards,
Thomas
Foldersync (playstore) works perfect and you can schedule it.
You can choose you int sd as folder and sync to ext sd.

Was wondering, if I partitioned my SD card, will Link2SD move my App Data, not like the game app data, but like the data stored in Applications, like Facebook.
Will this also be moved? Or will it stay hogging my Internal Memory?
Thanks.
With Link2SD, you choose what data gets moved, on an app-by-app basis.
Okay, thanks. Time to copy off all of my data onto my PC so I can partition my SD card.
Thanks once again!
Just dont move the app to SD card if you are using Links2SD , Open Links2SD select you app and Select "Create link"
okay, so the question is, can i move the actual app to external sd card using directory bind ??? not the data of the app, the actual app, and where can i find the apps installed from the market ?
No
Q regarding Jelly Bean, non rooted phone.
Is there an app that can periodically backup (copy/paste) your entire internal storage to your external sd card?
I've been looking for an hour and I can't find any. There are backup apps, but I didn't find any that could do just that one simple task for me.
I mean, I can do it manually by copying files with any file explorer but that is not the point.
Hello,
Some additional actions you can perform on a rooted phone to reclaim some of the little internal memory besides link2sd.
Download foldermount
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39178981#post39178981
use it to mount folders to SD: (for example)
/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/.thumbnails
no matter where your photos are stored, thumbnails are always created here. Emptying the folder doesn't help since thumbnails are recreated. My folder was 1.2 Gb in size (I have a lot of photos)
/storage/emulated/0/Whatsapp
Whatsapp doesn't like to be linked to sd. But al the media in your chats go in this folder. This folder can be mounted on SD
/storage/emulated/0/Download
You could clean it up on a regular base, this is easier.
One warning about Link2SD
Be careful to link google play services .apk to your SD card. I did, but when my card corrupted, i could not do anything with my phone anymore because of missing google account. Could not recreate account, could not install from play store, could not install from internet. Had to reset my phone to get it working again.
Good luck
Another warning about link2sd is you shouldn't move library files as it messes up some apps and they give you errors when you launch them
I had a rooted S5 with Alliance Rom, and just got an S9+. When backing up my data, specifically for an app called Podcast Addict, I exported a backup from within the app, and it stored on the SD card. Podcast Addict was installed on the external sd card, and it exported a .backup file and a .json file to /android/data/{App Name} on the external sd. I could have sworn that I moved it out of that directory or shared it to google drive, but apparently I did not.
I also had Titanium Backup installed, and I can't remember what directory it stored backups in, but it was somewhere on the external sd card.
I moved the card to the S9+ and went to import the backup file, and there were no files that looked like the backup file on the SD card. I also no longer see the Titanium Backup folder.
Does the /android/data folder get overwritten when inserting the sd card into a new phone, even if it's an external sd card, and the app isn't installed there on the new device?
On a non rooted phone that folder is not accessible as it is a system lvl folder as well as titanium backup will not work as well as it requires root as well. your best to put your sd back in your old device and use a program such as my backup pro to backup apps to be restored you will not be able to restore any kind of data for apps that are not linked to the playstore or game data that is linked to something such as Facebook or google play games no folders should be overwritten but android/data/app name are usually device specific to whatever device the app is on
