Hi, I'm looking for an app to make backup of my photos, videos, data etc etc when I connect a usb otg to my phone. I have an Elephone P9000.
Is not only to make a backup from TWRP and restore them, besides I need to copy my photos and video automatically to the usb, like google photos does.
I hope I explain my self, thank you.

Use titaniumbackup from market, it would backup all your apps and its data. YOu have to backup your photos/videos manually by connecting your mobile to pc, its the easiest way
Titanium backup for app data and apps.
For anything else, use a cloud solution like Dropbox, Box, etc. All have apps and you can upload all your content to various multiple providers to have more than 1 backup. As also mentioned save a hard copy to your PC.
SMS backup & restore for your SMS messages is also useful.

Hello,
As you know, after each ROM flash, if you have big pictures for your contacts, they will become very small.
Does anyone knows a backup software (or method of backup) for contacts that after ROM flash to restore the contacts pictures as they were before flashing?
Thank you.

I think google, now supports syncing hi-res contact pictures with your google contacts (pc)
I didn't try. But, it should be a method of doing it also locally. I tried by copying the contacts folder from /data/data and put it into the new ROM but is not working. Should be another files that are involved in this process.
You could also use MyBackup Root, excellent for a task like this
Play Store Link

I tried. It doesn't want to backup my contacts. It gives a lot of errors when I want to backup contacts.
I think that I found the solution: Titanium Backup Root.
I recently got a new Z2, it came with android 6.0.1 preinstalled.
I currently use a xperia ZL and want to migrate everything to my new phone. Contacts and calendar are easy, but how can I easily copy existing apps from one phone to another?
I have a very very poor internet connection, it woukd take days (!!) to download everything from PlayStore again. And app data would be lost.
Since I don't have root on Z2 titanium is not an option.
How do you guys migrate your apps and app-data to a new phone?
How about ShareIT ?
You can send multiple apps from one phone to another using WiFi Hotspot.
Install an apk backup app on the old phone and copy the backup folder to new phone. To restore you can do it with the help of the backup app or do it manually yourself via a file browser to select and install the apk. This does not back up app data/settings (because not titanium/root) but atleast you won't have to use internet to reinstall the apps.

To transfer apps and their data use helium backup. But make a backup using a Webbrowser, not to the internal storage because other phone won't detect them. Then just restore via website on the other phone with the same app.

First, thank you all for your tipps!
I read that helium doesn't work on xperia-phones, does it only affect the backup on sd card?
Just curious because backup to a web server is not possible for me due to my bad bandwith.... [emoji30]
I managed to copy all apps to my new phone. I will now try to export the settings from some critical apps and import them again on my Z2.
So again, thank you for your help!

Helium worked fine with lg g3, xiaomi redmi note 3 so it should also with xperia.
The backup is being performed to internal storage, but that option won't let you recover the apps on another phone, only on this one.
That's why I mentioned webbrowser backup. It's not backup to a cloud.
It backups to your computer storage. Internet speed doesn't matter.
Understood. Thank you!!

Hey guys, I have tried backing up my S9+ with smart switch with the encrypted option but it does not encrypt the backup on my computer. It asks for the PIN at start and the backup completes 100% but when I go to the folder on my computer the backup isn't encrypted and everything that was backed up is visible. I remember when I had a iPhone when you choose the option to encrypt the backup you couldn't open the backup without the password. What I am trying to do is backup my phone and have the backup be encrypted so that if my computer is compromised no one can get into the backup and see all my personal stuff. Also note I do not want anything to do with the cloud, I dont want any files going to some data storage place out of my control, so I dont want to use cloud or Samsung backup.
So whats the deal? anyone else have this issue?
Please help!

The most recent Smart Switch Update - 4.2.18052.28
You can only access backup data on your computer when your device is connected to it. You can also password protect your data. Open Smart Switch on your device before connecting to your computer, top right press the 3 dots, select Settings.
The following settings are available:
Enchance transfer security: Protect your content with security code authentication during transfer.
Password-protect files: Require a password to restore backup files from SD cards and USB storage devices.
You'll see a PIN, enter this PIN into your phone to connect manually.
Unfortunately that does not work, I am using Smart Switch Update - 4.2.18052.28 selected every option to encrypt the backup on the PC app and phone app but I can still access the folder and view everything, with or without the phone connected. Samsung switch saves to c:\users\yourusername\documents\samsung there I can see the entire backup file, photos docs, etc.

Other options are password protection for your PC at boot up and/or make the folder invisible. This can be done in Control Panel/Folders.

I have done that but its not very secure, most advance techies can break through it. I have also used windows bitlocker but that too seems not be very secure. I just dont understand why it doesnt work. This is one area that Apple has it figured out, which sucks because I hate apple LOL.
BitLocker isn't secure?
There is no evidence that it can be easily broken. No evidence.
Also, if you're worried about your computer getting compromised, focus on closing that hole first.
Alternatively, just encrypt your backups after they're made. Plenty of software around to help you do just that.
Encryption will lock you out sooner or latter.
Maybe a loved one after your death.
Damage hdds, flash memory and files can be difficult to recover even without encryption.
Just remember once you encrypt it, it may became a secret the everyone including you.
Hello,
Is there any way of recovering backup data from a backup made through the built in backup android feature that saves the backup to google drive? To be more specific, I would need access to SMSs. I do not have an access to the original phone.
Is there a way to recover the backup on lineageos or a VM?
Thanks in advance.

Your files in stored on Google Drive can be reached from any smartphone, tablet, or computer. So wherever you go, your files follow.

I don't mean regular google drive files but phone backups. The ones that contain things like call logs, messages, apps, etc. Example link where my backups are located: drive.google.com/drive/u/0/backups

Believe me I know the files what can get backed up by means of Google Drive app. But obviously you don't know what the term file means in the world of computers - here: Android device. FYI: A file is a container in a computer system for storing information / data.
