Android Data Backup Apps?

[trparky]

Any suggestions on an app that can backup your data (call log, sms, images, videos, etc.) to say, Google Drive?

Free would be nice if possible. If not free, relatively inexpensive.

JS Backup or Helium - both will backup and restore app data, either locally or to the cloud. Helium is actually the better app IMO, but a bit inconvenient to use if your device is not rooted (requires a USB connection to computer before starting each backup, regardless of storage destination).

You only need to connect to a computer once after each restart of your device - not every time you perform a backup.

Ah, good to know! My devices that use it are rooted (meaning no connection needed), so I was going from memory.

Yeah, I know of Helium. I used it to transfer my apps from my old phone to my new phone.

I'm talking more about things like pictures I've taken with my camera, videos, music, SMS messages, contacts, and call log.

for the pics etc you can just upload them to one of the free cloud storage sites. Check out the apps Box, Dropbox, Drive, Copy, etc
Contacts, sync them with google.
I think the app MyBackup saves sms :thumbup:
To find the folders/files i recommend ES File Explorer. The pics/vids you take are in the DCIM folder. In ES you can hit "share" and select the app you want to upload them with, Drive for example

In that case, a cloud service or the previously mentioned JSBackup.
