Backup systems for S5

I am presently using both, Kies 3 and Mobilego to back up my S5.
Any actual experience with either one of these or any alternatives that members consider better.

I use Kies 3.0 for backing up the Operating System mostly.
i do not like the way it stores pictures, too clumsy.

For pictures, the simplest and fast way for me is to use
xplorer²
which is dual pane File Manager on the PC, left side is my S5 and the right side is my PC, so simple, just drag 'n drop and 5 seconds later, the new pictures are on the PC.

I use Super Backup for taking care of everything else, contacts, apps, messages, etc... simply because it offers so many ways to store the backups. I have it default to the extSDcard first, and then it asks if you want to forward that backup somewhere else. And I always email it to myself and then let Yahoo store that in a Folder Named Backups. I also download that Yahoo email locally to my PC.

That gives me 3 copies of all backups for the apps, contacts, etc....

I have no experience with MobileGo, never heard of it until just now.
