Synchronization with cloud services. Where can I save a backup?

About five years ago, smartphones were exclusively owned by people who needed their functionality. Today, thanks to the development of the Android device market, almost everyone has these gadgets. The platform is quite customizable and develops quickly - new major versions are released every year, and throughout the year, manufacturers pamper users with updates several times existing versions OS. Because of this trend, it is very important to know and be able to do firmware backup so that when failed update or in any other situation, you could make a quick rollback to a working system without losing your data and information.
In principle, there are quite a few ways to make a backup, but the most common and convenient is install custom recovery with this function. The most popular alternative recovery are CWM (ClockworkMod recovery) and TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project). CWM- one of the very first such projects - it is quite minimalistic and is controlled exclusively by “hard buttons” - the volume buttons and the power key. It has only the most necessary functionality (including the backup function). TWRP a more advanced project. He has touch control, as well as quite a lot of functions, the most useful of them, perhaps, is the built-in file manager which will allow you to copy your data from internal memory to a flash drive if the phone refuses to boot.
Let's take a quick look at each of these two. alternative recovery, let's also consider how to do with them using backup and we will show you another way that will allow you to do this directly from a running system. We will also consider options for backing up only certain data (SMS, MMS, etc.)

CWM

ClockworkMod recovery is a modified unofficial recovery, which is produced for almost any more or less popular model phone. Installation is possible either instead of standard recovery or in parallel with it. With its help, you can install unofficial firmware, create backups, reset user data and format partitions. You can also create separate partitions on a memory card, etc.

To make a backup file system your Android device you need to go to CWM recovery(on different phones this procedure may vary slightly). Then you need to use the volume buttons to go to backup and restore and select either Backup (full backup of the entire system) or Advanced Backup– this will allow you to select the partitions that you want to save (most often these are data and boot), which will allow you to save time and space on the flash drive.

TWRP

TeamWin recovery is also a modified unofficial recovery, which is accessible to most Android models devices. It allows you to perform many more actions with the device than standard recovery and than CWM, but is less common than the latter. TWRP will allow its users to:

install unofficial and official firmware;
install corrections and additions;
supports connection in ADB mode;
create backups as full firmware, and its individual parts;
format partitions and create them.

To make a backup using TeamWin recovery, you need to go into it, go to the Backup item and make a snapshot of the system, and you can choose which sections of the system you need to save.

Restoring from a backup

To begin with, for greater safety, you need to transfer the folder with the saved firmware to your computer’s hard drive, write it to optical disk, upload to the cloud, etc. In this case, even if you lose the flash drive, you will always have the opportunity to roll back the system to its old state. Then you will need to go into recovery again and select Restore, and then mark the partitions that you want to restore (in the case of CWM, you will need to go to Advanced restore). After waiting for the operation to complete, reboot the device.

Another way to backup a partition

If you are somehow not satisfied with the previous methods, then there is another one that is much less commonly used, but with its help you will definitely preserve all connections and file rights. To implement it you will need a phone with root rights , on which the terminal emulator is installed.
First, open a terminal emulator and type:
su
After this, a confirmation window for root rights should appear (if you have not already confirmed them before. Then type:
dd if=/dev/block/“block number” of=/sdcard/system.img bs=4096
Where instead of “block number” you should write the number of the section you want to save. To restore the partition, the resulting file will need to be flashed via fastboot, like a regular img image.

Saving SMS, MMS and other content

If you want to “move” to new system, then you will only need to recover old messages and perhaps some files. The files will remain on your memory card, so you don’t have to worry about this, but text messages you will have to save manually. IN Google Play there are many free programs, to save them, you just have to choose the most convenient one.
It is also worth noting that Android has well-developed functions for saving application data and restoring applications themselves, therefore, you will not need to worry about this operation - the system will do everything for you.

Regularity. Creating backups should be as regular as brushing your teeth in the morning.
Examination. Check backup copy which we just made. It will be very disappointing if, at a particularly tense moment, your lifesaver turns out to be a dummy. Open several files from the archive and make sure they work.
Separateness. It is better to store backups not in one place, but in at least two. For example, on an external hard drive and in the cloud. After all, disks sometimes fail, and cloud storage may not be available at the right time.
Demarcation. Divide what you plan to store into several clear categories. Data of varying importance require different approaches to archiving.

System solutions

Windows

Windows has standard remedy archiving and recovery, allowing you to save as separate files, and the entire image from which you can restore the system in case of failure.

Windows 7

Go to the “Control Panel” by left-clicking on the “Start” button and selecting the appropriate item. In “Control Panel” select “System and Security” → “Backup computer data” → “Set up backup”.

Next, the system will ask you to specify a location to save the archive. Please note: if you want to backup data from drive C, you will not be able to save it there. To do this, you will have to select another medium, for example a second physical disk, flash drive, DVD or folder in local network. If we recall the principles of creating a backup, the archive must be stored on a separate medium, and not on the very computer from which the copy was made.

Next, the system will prompt you to automatically or manually select folders for archiving. Click on “Give me a choice” and in the window that opens, check the boxes for the folders you want to save. Click Next → Save settings and exit.

Now the “Archive” button appears in the “Backup or restore files” window. Clicking on it will start the process of archiving your data.

Recovery follows the same principle. To do this, click on the item “Select another backup to restore files” and indicate the one into which the backup was made.

Windows 8 and above

The built-in File History tool allows for real-time archiving. For it to work, only initial setup is required.

File History will automatically copy the following libraries: Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos - and standard folders user: Windows, Desktop, Favorites.

By default, backups are made every hour, but you can change this time, for example, to 10 minutes. However, this will require more volume disk space. The retention time for each copy can be configured in the Advanced Options menu.

macOS

Time Machine- a standard Apple solution designed to create backup copies of applications, files and folders, documents, videos, music.

To work with Time Machine, you will need third-party data storage, such as a flash drive, external hard drive or network solution.

When connected external drive To Mac computer You should be prompted: should I use it as a backup storage? Select "Use As" backup disk».

If the window does not appear, you must select the backup disk manually:

go to the menu and open Time Machine settings;
click on “Select backup disk”;
select the one you need and click on “Use disk”.

Backups will be automatically created once every hour, backups for the past month every day, and backups for the entire time every week. Don't be afraid that your volume hard drive it won't be enough. Time Machine will only save changed information, and old copies will be automatically deleted as disk space becomes full.

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.

Let's begin. Since you are here, it means you are wondering how to make a Backup Android? There are several ways. Of the most common:

Titanium Backup

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
Run it and give it to him superuser rights
Click on the button on the right top corner screen as shown in the picture:

Select the desired option to save data.

Android system backup

I would like to emphasize again that during recovery you will restore all components and software as it is.

No matter how wonderful and proven the Android backup system is, something unexpected can always happen. Therefore, think about what is especially important on your device and copy everything necessary photos, documents and materials that you should never lose.

By the way, for many this will be a revelation, but all contacts and mail android linked to a google account, specifically to gmail address. So Google will take care of their safety. 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.

Information about the possibility of obtaining privileged access to operating system on your device you can get -> . 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 use the device, you can proceed to the second action of our corps de ballet - the actual creation backup Android. I suggest making a backup using the utility Nandroid backup. Nandroid is special application, with which you can take snapshots of your phone’s file system. 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 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:

Go to the application Nandroid backup
Let's give it to him full access and choose Quick Backup

The process of creating a backup begins

Congratulations, you've done it system backup Android

Make a full Android Backup

Guide “How to make Backup Android firmware" On every Android device already installed in the factory firmware recovery, so there is no need to install it separately.

SPECIAL ATTENTION!! Before performing any actions with the device, the battery charge must be more than 50%. This will prevent unexpected shutdowns and save your device from the brick stage.

Let's go:

Turn off the phone and wait 20-30 seconds for the processes to finally end and the battery to go into passive mode.
Press the button " Volume +"(on some models " Volume -"). And without releasing it, press the button " Inclusions"(on some devices the button " Home»).
If you have Android robot, belly up and with exclamation point, then simultaneously press “ Volume -" and the button " Inclusions"(or vice versa, for other devices). And immediately let go! No need to hold! (P.s. if you immediately went into recovery, naturally skip this step.)
Now a menu has opened where the TOUCHPAD does not work. Move " Up»/« Down" - rock the volume accordingly. 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)
In the menu that appears, we need to go down with the “ Volume -" to the value " backup and restore" and press confirmation, i.e. the " button Inclusions».

In the window that opens, select Backup and wait for the procedure to complete (Approximately takes 5-10 minutes (depending on system load))

After completing the procedure, select Reboot now and that's it..

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 to make backup android without root, but I will advise you, in my opinion, the best of them is 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.

If you want to backup applications or games on Android, it is best to use the program, but if you need to backup the entire system, it is easier to install a universal application ROM Manager. It has many functions that will be useful when flashing the device.

Using ROM Manager you can also flash your smartphone or tablet. How to do this is described in detail on our website. For the application to work you need root rights, which can be obtained using programs, or.

So, install ROM Manager from Google Play, open the application and follow the instructions:

1. First of all, you need to install ClockWorkMod (modified Recovery). To do this, select “Recovery Setup” in the main menu of the program. It may also be called “Install ClockWorkMod”.

3. In the menu that appears, click on “Install ClockWorkMod”.

4. ROM Manager will require root access, after which the ClockWorkMod installation process will begin.

5. Now you can proceed to creating a backup copies of Android. To do this, select “Save current ROM” in the main menu of the program.

6. In the window that appears, you can change the name of the backup copy. Finally click "OK".

7. After this, your device will go into ClockWorkMod Recovery and the creation of a backup will begin. This process It may last quite a long time, so don't worry.

8. If you want to restore the system, open “Backups”, select the saved backup and in the next window click “Restore”.

Overall, ROM Manager is a truly versatile application. Using it, you can install CWM, create a system backup and restore it if necessary, and also flash your Android smartphone or tablet.

If you are interested in the question: how to make a full backup copy of your Android gadget, then this article will describe the main methods that will solve this issue. Agree, we live in an era of technological boom and mobile devices, have become an integral part of it, we store a lot of valuable information on them that needs to be copied and saved.

Backup or backup in Android

There are basically three methods: cloud, software and through system recovery. We will consider everything step by step and try not to miss a single point. Let's start with the easiest ones and gradually move on to more complex ones.

Google Cloud Service

Almost every Android device is connected to the current Google account, if you don’t have this, then first create an account for this by following this link. After the account is created, go to the menu -> settings (personal section) -> backup and restore.

And we check that there are checkmarks everywhere; if you did not have an entry, then click “Backup account” and the add button, enter all the data from the previously registered entry.

In order to configure what the gadget should remember, return to the previous menu and go to “ Accounts and synchronization”, there we mark the items that need to be reserved.

Important! Synchronization must be active on your smartphone or tablet; it is usually located in the top drop-down menu.

z
This is the most primitive method, and is not able to save your messages, applications, etc., in order to do this, read on.

Software method

To do this, we need a program; we described how to download and install it earlier, so we believe that you already have it installed; it is also necessary for it to be on your device. Now follow the instructions:

1. Launch the MyPhoneExplorer program;

2. Connect the gadget to the PC using a cable;

3. Press F1 or in the File -> Connect menu (phone with Android OS and USB method cable);

4. Wait a minute;

1. Open TitaniumBU Pro;

2. Go to the “Backups” section;

3. Click the sheet icon with a check mark (upper right corner);

4. In the backup section: “Make r.k. all user software and system data";

5. To restore, go to the section below and tap on the required item.

The path where the r.k. file will be available. (backup) is specified in the application settings.

Rom manager

We described another option using the application, how to install and configure it earlier, so we will not repeat it, you will also need.

Open the utility, go to the “backup and restore” item and select “Save current ROM”, then enter its name.

By default, it will be saved to the memory card /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

To restore, tap the “Backups” item.

After this, Android will be rebooted into system recovery and a copy will be created, or vice versa, a restoration will be performed.

For smartphones and tablets from Samsung

The manufacturer took care of its users and released special program, so it will assume that you already have it. Next we proceed according to the instructions.

1. Launch kies;

2. Turn on USB debugging on Android;

3. Connect your smartphone or tablet to your personal computer using a cable;

4. We wait until the program determines the model;

5. Go to point “ Backup/ recovery";

6. Select the necessary items and click “backup”;

7. To restore, go to the “Recover data” item;

Android backup via recovery

To do this, you first need to install one of the alternative recovery options. For example, or , then you need to boot the phone into recovery mode.

For CWM – backup and restore section, for TWRP – backup (copy), restore – restoration.

Bottom line

As you can see, there are many ways to make an Android backup; it’s up to you to choose which one to use. We recommend using myphoneexplorer or kies programs, and for advanced users, do all this through the system recovery menu.
