As a rule, to create a backup using special applications, you may need root rights. If it happens that your phone is included in the list of gadgets where root rights cannot be obtained, you should not would be better suited standard way backup via the built-in utility - recovery.

Thus, the majority modern smartphones and tablets come with a tool already provided by the manufacturer for copying the system. To do this, you don't even need to root your device.

Bottom line

So, we learned how backup is made on devices with the Android operating system, what programs and applications can be used, and how to use the built-in tools. Be sure that by carefully studying the proposed material and following the instructions exactly, you will be able to make a copy of your device’s data and accurately save important information in unforeseen circumstances.

The ability to create a backup copy is useful to all users of Android tablets, so I advise you to read this article. In it we will look at creating backup copies of important data using the “simple to complex” principle.

Backup photos, videos, music and documents

Since the safety of this data is the No. 1 priority for most, let’s talk about how to backup it first. Most reliable way save this data - transfer it from the tablet’s memory to a memory card or to a computer. If the tablet crashes, the flash memory is damaged, or the firmware crashes, the data on it will be lost, but on the flash drive it will remain safe and sound. Even better, periodically copy important photos, etc. to home computer or laptop - judging from my own experience.

Backup contacts and Google services

To ensure that all your contacts are always with you, no matter what Android tablet or smartphone you use, you need to synchronize them with your Google account. Contacts will be saved in the “cloud” on the server, and when you sign in with your Google account on another tablet, the numbers with names will be added to the phone book.

To enable synchronization, you need to go to the settings section on your tablet and select “Google” in the “Accounts” column.

Then select your Google account from the list, I have one.

Thus, we ended up in the synchronization section, where we see a list of everything that can be synchronized with Google (the list may expand depending on installed services, for example there may be more Google notes Keep et al.

Check the boxes next to those items that need to be synchronized; for example, you can select only Contacts, or select all. Then you need to call context menu, and select “Sync”.

During synchronization, you will see round icons with an arrow. Once the data backup is complete, the icons will disappear. To check whether the synchronization was successful, just log in to your account on another tablet, first turn on Wi-Fi, and also complete all the steps described above. After this, all your contacts, etc. should appear on the new device.

Backup and recovery of SMS

If owners of tablets with SIM card support need to reset the data on the tablet to standard settings, or reflash the device, all SMS will be erased, since they are in the tablet’s memory. Sometimes you don’t want to lose SMS from a loved one, so it comes to the rescue SMS application Backup & Restore. We install it on the tablet on which we need to backup the SMS juice, and launch it.

Then you need to return to the main application window and select “Backup”. Next, you will be asked to select a name for the backup file, as well as select the dialogs that need to be backed up: those that you select, or all of them. Click “Ok” and wait for the reservation process to complete.

The backup copy will be saved in a file in .xml format in the location where you previously specified in the settings. Go to this folder through any file manager and make sure that a backup copy has been created.

Now let's try to restore SMS from a backup after flashing the tablet or resetting the settings. We install the same application, launch it, and click the “Restore” button. If the application cannot find backups, “help” it by specifying the path to the .xml file with the SMS backup in the settings, and then click “Restore” again.

Backup of system settings, applications, application data

Backup and restore using the program. Universal method, may be useful for:

  • Restoring everyone system settings, installed applications, their data and settings after, or device. You don't have to install and configure everything again.
  • Restoring game saves. It is not necessary to restore all settings and all applications - you can restore just one game and your gaming achievements will work.

Creating a backup using Titanum Backup

  • Set ROOT rights to the tablet. What is it and why - read on. In short, without Root rights, the Android system will not give the Titanium application access to system files, which means you won’t be able to make a backup copy.
  • Download the application, install it, and launch it.
  • Go to the menu (top right) and select “Settings”.

  • There we go to the item “Path to folder with r.k.”, and select where the backup copies will be saved. Preferably it should be a memory card

  • We return to the settings and select the “Batch actions” item.

  • In the window that opens, click “Start” opposite one of the three items outlined in a rectangle. If you need to make a backup of installed applications, their data and settings (including game saves), click the first item - “Make backup. all user software." If you need to make a copy of all system applications and Android system settings, click the second item. And if you need to make a backup of both, select the third option.

  • In this field, the program will prompt you to select applications or data to be backed up. Check off everything that you think is necessary. Ready? Click green tick top right, after which the backup process will immediately begin.

Restoring a backup using Titanum Backup

  • To restore, go to the “Batch Actions” menu item again and scroll down to the “Recoveries” section. Depending on what kind of backups you made, click on “Start” next to the items “Restore all software with data” or “Restore all system data”.

  • Select the data that needs to be restored and click the green checkmark at the top right to start the recovery process.

  • We wait for the process to complete, reboot the device, and voila - you have restored data from the backup!

note. This application is not suitable for reservations personal files, such as music, photos, videos, documents. Use manual transfer such data to a flash drive or to a computer from the tablet’s memory.

Question. All this is good, but I want to make a backup, and I don’t have a flash drive (there’s no microSD slot in the tablet). What to do?

Answer. It's simple - theoretically, you can connect a regular USB flash drive through OTG cable, and make a backup on it. And if you are a bit of a hacker, you can make a backup directly on your PC, you just have to carefully study this material.

Backup of the entire firmware (system snapshot) using Recovery

If you are going to take any serious actions with your tablet, for example, do a flashing or ROOT, it is better to take a “snapshot” of the current state of the system. By at least, if you “kill” the tablet by flashing it, you can at least restore it to the original state of the system, preserving all the settings and software.

Creating a backup using the Recovery menu

  • Install ClockWorkMod Recovery to the tablet. Read how this is done.
  • We charge the tablet battery to capacity so that the tablet does not turn off while creating a backup.
  • Make sure that a flash drive is installed in the tablet and that it has enough free space to copy the entire Android system.
  • Go to the Recovery menu. To do this, turn off the tablet and simultaneously press the combination physical keys on the tablet body. The combination may be different for each device, and may include simultaneous or sequential pressing of the volume +/- keys, the power button, and the back button, if available.
  • When you get to the Recovery menu, use the volume up/down keys to move through it to the “backup and restore” item. Using the power button, select this item.

  • Now select the “Backup” item - i.e. creating a backup copy.

  • We are waiting for the backup process to be created - this may take some time.
  • Reboot the device when the process is complete.

Restoring from a backup in Recovery

  • We install a flash drive with previously recorded recovery files into a fully charged tablet.
  • We go to the Recovery menu in the same way as described above, only instead of the “Backup” item, select “Restore”, i.e. recovery.
  • You will be asked to select the location where you saved backup files system, and also select a recovery file.

  • After selecting the recovery file, the process of uploading your system snapshot to the tablet will begin. It is strictly not recommended to interrupt the backup restoration process! If everything completes successfully, a notification similar to this will appear with the words “Restore Complete!”

  • All that remains is to reboot the device by clicking “Reeboot system now”.

Question. There are no volume keys on my tablet. And how would you like to navigate through the Recovery menu?

Answer. Quite possible on your tablet possible touch control. Give it a try.

If you want to change something in your Android device, then first of all we need to prepare in advance for the fact that everything can go wrong. There is a backup for this, and simply Backup Android.

And there are many more varieties, but we will focus on the first and second, namely how to make Backup Android applications and their cache using the application Titanium Backup and via recovery(CWM). When creating a backup via Recovery mode, you can make a full backup of your firmware, but to do this you may need to install it first.

Let's get started:

  • or in Play Store

Creating a complete backup Android It won't take that long. From 10 minutes to an hour, depending on your experience and, in fact, the device.

The first step in creating a full backup is. In this article I will not give, since for each device the procedure may differ, as well as the technique itself.

You can get information about the possibility of obtaining privileged access to the operating system on your device ->. Not all devices can be rooted. If your phone is one of them, you will have to forget about backup for a while or use some other systems that can work without root access and also make some backups, read about them at the end of the article.

After you have accessed the device, you can proceed to the second step of our corps de ballet - actually creating a backup Android. I suggest making a backup using the utility Nandroid backup. Nandroid is special application, with which you can make impressions file system your phone. Actually, recovery too.

You can install Nandroid on your phone using standard bootloader. I suggest performing manipulations using the application manager ROM ClockworkMod, which will be installed on your device with both Nandroid and others useful utilities. Once again I will make a note that the program only works on rooted phones. So download the application " ROM Manager", install it.

Let's start backing up the Android system:

Confirm selection – button “ Inclusions"(There are exceptions for tablets: moving up does not exist, only down! Select - button " Volume +", and the button " Inclusions" - this is the exit from recovery)

If you have root rights, you can make a full backup of Android using this method, but what if you don’t have root rights?

Backup Android without root

If your device does not initially have Root access and you don’t want to bother yourself with getting it, then you can always use applications that will make a backup without it.

On our website you can find many applications for making an Android backup without root, but I will advise you, in my opinion, the best of them - Safe Backup.

So what can you backup using Safe Backup:

  • Application installation files;
  • Contacts;
  • Calendar;
  • Call log;
  • Bookmarks;
  • Alarm clocks;
  • Photos;
  • Music;
  • Ringtones;
  • User Dictionary;
  • Video;
  • Voice recordings.

We launch the application and see only two menu items - “ Save" And " Restore”, the menu does not spoil us with variety, but this is even better.

After pressing the “ Save”, choose where you want to record the backup, fortunately there are plenty of options. After that, select the required data items for backup and click “ OK”, and also in the upper right corner of the program there are buttons for compressing the backup and setting a password.

Attention! Full backup of Android is not possible without root!

Once again I want to remind you that this method will not be able to restore your system with firmware, but only the data that you entered into your device.

Well... Now you won’t wonder how to make an Android backup, since you already have your own backup, which you can always roll back to if something goes wrong. I strongly recommend that you make a backup before each firmware update or any modification of your device. Even if you completely trust the developer, the device itself can let you down. No one is immune from mistakes. Therefore, make a backup and save at least one original copy, on external media. To avoid "accidental" deletion and not subject Android to turn into a brick.

Backing up system and user data and programs installed on a phone or tablet is a function that users of the Android operating system do not use very often, but the importance of which is difficult to overestimate. The most expensive in modern world- this is information, and sometimes it is easier to come to terms with material losses than with the results of work for long time. But even if you simply need to migrate from one Android device to another, a complete backup of all settings and applications with the ability to then restore them on a new device is the most beneficial for the user. in a convenient way. After all, installing a new bunch of programs and performing all the necessary configuration manipulations in each one is not the easiest task.

In general, a backup copy of all your important data located on your Android device should be made every time you perform operations on it that could damage the performance of the operating system: flashing the device, obtaining root rights, etc. If something goes wrong, having a copy that will help return your phone or tablet to its original state will save you a lot of precious time and even more valuable nerve cells.
