hackers try to enter into your devices. As data is always subjected to get
exposed with all such ways, it is necessary to stay safe with scheduled backups
and even with best antivirus support.
Google Android
For
Android users, Google automatically backs up portion of smartphone's data to
user’s online accounts. Go to Settings > Backup & Reset and select
‘Backup My Data’ and ‘Automatic Restore’. At the first time it will take some
time but later on it will be faster.
Apple iOS
If
you are using Apple’s iPhone then iTunes has best option “Back Up”. Rest stay
assured for all your contacts and other data. In case your device hangs up or
needs resetting, “Restore from Back up” will solve the purpose.
iCloud is again best option for Apple
users. It is online backup system which works automatically while Wi-Fi is on.
With this you get as much as 5GB of space to store you data. You need to go to
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and turn on the backup. In
Manage Storage options you can easily select options to sync such as Facebook
data, music files, contacts, chrome etc.
Samsung Kies
Best
option for Samsung users. It is Samsung’s own software to keep your data safe
at a place. A short setup allows user to connect his phone with pc with unique
IP and PIN to enable the procedure.
BlackBerry
BlackBerry
Desktop is all in one RIM’s proprietary software for their worldwide users. It
is very unique and easy for navigation. You can even use external storage or
flash drives to take the backup.
Windows Phone
Microsoft
has made its own software for their smartphone OS backup called ‘ActiveSync’.
Software works perfect with most of the windows operating systems with easy
navigation.
‘My Phone’ is another app
designed by Microsoft especially for Windows phones. It looks tiny but
potentially great to backup everything on your device. It works well with
windows mobile 6.0, 6.1 and 6.5. With logging in from your live account and
free data up to 200Mb, which is surely not enough nowadays, you need to pay for
more and surely still quite good to go with.
PIM Backup is great app
for those who just don’t want to go with online sync and external pc
connections. This app allows user to take backup on SD Cards easily. But still
ActiveSync and My Phone are preferred everywhere.
Symbian
For
Symbian OS based phones tools such as Ovi Suite, The Symbian Tool are available.
Older version of Nokia and Samsung came with Symbian support and can be easily
backed up with these utilities.
