Help Replaced Tomorrow -- Backup Tonight?

[jefboyardee]

As a result of this silly dilemma, I’m getting a replacement tomorrow and have about 75% battery life to prepare, as in:

Should I back the old one up or will they just transfer everything to the new one? If I should, what app do you recommend?

I have about two hours to get this ready, so if you please...

...how about MyBackup?

I like Titanium Backup Pro if you are rooted.

Not rooted, cause enough damage without it. I just tried MyBackup and everything seemed peachy, may not even need it anyway, but tomorrow will tell.

Tomorrow has been unkind. I got the phone, the google cloud stuff popped up, but I can’t log in to mybackup. Maybe I’m not thinking right cause they picked now to tell me I have to pay five bucks to restore... could’ve sworn it said thirty day trial. So now I have to wait for them to get out of bed and reply. They otherwise appear to have a well thought product with good reviews...

I learned three things:

Mybackup’s trial version only extends to backing -- gotta pay for restoring, which I did out of panic.

Mybackup doesn’t even work, at least not for me.

If you take screenshots of your home pages, which I did, you don’t even need a backup app, just an evening at the Market.
