Remote Delete App \ Non Rooted Backup...

Hey everyone two quick questions, all simple and direct like... First, is there a remote delete app that is reliable, in case your phone ever gets stolen or lost. (Bonus points if it frags the SD card!) And has anything come along that could backup a non rooted Android phone similar to Titanium? (Both system and apps... I've used Helium in the past, by the same dev's I believe, but it doesn't do the system.)

Thanks in advance!
 
Google's Find My Device, built into most modern phones, can do a remote wipe. Dunno about SD cards. Obviously it requires that the phone is connected to the internet to send the instruction, but that's true of any such app (it used to be the case that some security apps could accept SMS instructions, but increasing SMS security killed that off, in the ones I knew anyway).

I don't think anything is going to be able to back up system apps without root.

Most AV apps have some sort of option to wipe the phone and snap a selfie and send it to your email after xx number of unsuccessful password tries. Most also have backup options, in addition to manual options to wipe similar to find my phone, hope that's helpful!
