2. Alpha Backup Pro it’s actually a decent android apps backup app. It can copy APK files to internal memory or cloud storage as you need. These are the actual APKs and they install perfectly. At least, they installed well during our tests. You can also share APK, check package name, app version and install date. Some additional options include an uninstall option, Material Design, and an automatic backup feature. This backup app is not as powerful as root backup apps like Titanium Backup. However, this is the best non-root users can get. Make sure you follow the app’s instructions, however, as some people didn’t have all their data lost.

3. G Cloud Backup is a cloud storage option, but specific for device backups. It can automatically or manually backup SMS messages, contacts, photos, videos, music, documents, call logs and other various files. In some cases it can even back up your settings. You can configure automatic backup as when your device is charging and also connected to WiFi. The service gives you 1GB for free, and you can earn more free storage with various little gags in the app. It also boasts a € 3.99 option for unlimited storage. It’s not like Google Drive or OneDrive or anything like that. It’s a cloud storage service specifically for Android backup and it’s pretty neat. G Cloud has no association with Google.

4. In a way Google Photo counts as cloud storage. Automatically backup and restore your photos to Google Drive. It requires actual space on Google Drive (as of June 2021), but is a lightweight, hands-free automatic method for Android backup. The app has a ton of extra features, including the ability to view photos on your device, remove photos from your device if they’ve already been backed up, and automatically sort photos and videos into albums. There are alternatives if you don’t want to use Google’s ecosystem. We also recommend Amazon Prime users to try Amazon Photos as it is free. It’s still a great option but not as great as when it was free.

5. Resilio Sync is among our favorite cloud storage apps and one of the best android backup apps. It works almost exactly like any other cloud storage service. However, instead of backing up to a mysterious server somewhere, it backs up the files on your computer. The setup takes some time because you need to link your phone and computer together so they can sync. Otherwise fworks like any other cloud storage app. Backup your files and they are displayed on your computer where you can do whatever you want with them. The files are also encrypted for an extra layer of security. This is a great option for people who like the idea of ​​cloud storage, but don’t want large companies to get our private data as a gift. The free version works well for basic uses. You may need the pro version if you want more control.

6. Swift Backup it is one of the newest android backup apps in the list. The app supports rooted and unrooted devices. Non-rooted features include apps, SMS (with experimental MMS support), call logs etc. Root access adds app data, permissions data (useful for Magisk users) and WiFi network configurations. It uses the cloud to back up your data and includes support for Google Drive, Dropbox, ownCloud, Nextcloud, and even custom WebDAV and NAS. The premium version adds things like scheduled backups for things like call logs and startup icon shortcut backup. The UI is a bit of a learning curve for some, but it’s still a respectable backup app.

7. Titanium Backup is an essential tool for root users. It’s been stable for years, gets frequent updates, and has tons of features. Unlike many other Android backup apps, Titanium Backup is pretty much exclusively for root users without a lot of features for non-rooted devices. You can block and uninstall bloatware, application backups (along with app data), cloud storage backups, and more. The Pro version includes many more features, including 1-click batch restore, synchronization with cloud storage, and much more. This is the past and present king of backup apps for root users and everyone knows it.
