Backup apps

Im trying to find a backup app that backups app data, contacts, call log, messages, photos/videos. Basically almost how iTunes backups iphones but i want to back all that up into google drive. Is there any app that does that? I found ones that do somethings but not all unfortunately. If google just came up with a system like this it would make android even better but so far they haven't

Closest thing to that I can think of is Titanium Backup, but your phone has to be rooted to use it.

It doesnt backup sd elements as far as i know though

You can look to MyPhoneExplorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client
But I think it only synchronizes the backups on the pc

I am using a combination of Titanium Backup and Foldersync.
Titanium Backup to backup my phone/apps/... and than I use Foldersync to sync some directorys of my SD card to a FTP server.
Syncing with Google Drive is possible in both apps.
Not a single-app solution but works great for me

I wish i could talk to a dev about this idea because it would really come in handy. I mean most of us have 5gb of free space on google drive not being used so it would come in handy thats for sure

Titanium Backup and Google drive problems

Having a problem backing up titanium backup to Google drive. I've used it before, 2 months ago and it worked fine. Now, it will only backup 1%-15% to drive then it says says sync to Google drive has failed. I've tried it on 3g, 4g and WiFi, and always does the same thing. I have plenty of space available in drive, and when i check drive it does show that some of the files have been uploaded. Thoughts?

I'm having the same problem using wifi. Anyone else? Any recommendations?

Give up. I went back to dropbox.

[Q] Dropbox vs Google Drive vs ?

I'm looking for an easy way to grab files on my phone for work (i.e. agendas for meetings, etc.). I could go the route of saving it to an email but wanted to find out what people thought of using Google Drive or Dropbox on the GN2? Any good or bad experiences or suggestions?
Thanks ahead of time.

I like drop box bc I can use other apps for productivity than google docs

Evernote
I can't pass up an opportunity to endorse Evernote. I use it constantly both for file storage and note taking. However, it should be noted that the maximum individual file size is 100MB which I presume could be a problem in some contexts.

I am using dropbox, coz when I activate my N2 with dropbox. It give me 48G storage for 2 yrs free

I used to love Google Drive. But since for some reason Drive thinks I'm full when I'm not and won't let me upload anymore, I've switched and have been happy with DropBox. Stupid Drive.

I prefer Dropbox for its access from other apps and the 48gb free really helped.

Ultimate Backup app from Play store

Does anyone have any experience with this app? Its free with a pro version from the Play store like Titanium Backup, but I ran into a lot of problems with TiBu freezing. So anyway, I know if you format parts of your card the back up is lost and I know you can move the storage place, but it gives the option for free to store backups in DropBox. ( Something that is only in the paid TiBu.) The thing is I can find no way to restore from DropBox. All the apk's are there in the folder I created, but the app doesn't seem to be able to access it. Just wondering if anyone uses this app in this way or has had any better success with this over others.

Does it need you to download from dropbox before you can restore?
I dunno, just wondering. Hope you figure it out.

It just doesn't give any option to restore from drop box. I just thought it was a nice alternative and a free one that used drop box too. It also restores apps pretty quickly...more so than Titanium anyway. I guess the work around is to just change the save to the external sd for now.

I have it, works great. I got the pro version so i could backup up data too. Saves everything to ur memory card.

I'm assuming you never use the Dropbox option?

Best cloud backup app

Hi folks,
I would like to invite your suggestions on what backup apps you are using which have the ability to export/import full backup on cloud without using PC in the process.
I am on 4.2.1 stock and rooted. I just don't want to store the backup on phone itself(not too much storage on nexus anyway).
Thanks for taking the time to read the post!

Titanium backup. Awesome tool, will backup all apps and data on any schedule you like, or just manually, then sync to the cloud storage of your choice.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Agreed. I use Titanium and sync it to my DropBox, all automatically on schedule

Titanium is great for sure. Although I am now using Koush's new backup app, Carbon. It is boss!

I just signup for Box and they gave me 50gig free

Super backup
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2

Also using titanium pro for my backups.

Titanium Backup, then it can syncs to Box.com/Dropbox/GoogleDrive.
But I just change the folder of Titanium to the actual titanium folder on the sdcard and transfer it to my PC.. upload on my ISP is slow and would take forever..

Been using Carbon for backing up data and super backup for sms/call log backups. I love Carbon, back-up to Dropbox and Google Drive is pretty slick.
And with super backup, I always have the file emailed to my gmail for safe keeps.

Carbon. It's fast and let's you auto sync backups across multiple devices.

I have been using tb pro for ages but I had noticed some inconvenience when restoring backup up apps taken from another rom...
any one else experienced the same ?

Back up alternative
Hi there,
I use an online back up service. The one I use has an appfor mobile devices. If you would like the link drop me an email and I will send it for you.
Hope this helps.

Just started using Carbon and as a former Titanium backup user I'm quite impressed.

Seems like carbon is getting popular. I would give it a try as well.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I use carbon and sync it to my box account. You get 50gb storage on there for having an lg device

When you guys say carbon syncs between devices can you explain how exactly? Do I have to hit a sync button then it syncs between? Is it automatic for certain apps you specify?
I use data sync to do this auto, but it's a beta and occasionally has issues.

I do it manually. I've heard there's a way to do it automatically but I haven't discovered it yet

Carbon w/ Dropbox is working great for me. Saved me from hours of reconfiguring after a bad install got me bootlooped.

DataSync
I don't understand why carbon is getting so much attention?? DataSync has been around much longer and is much better than carbon. Carbon only has its use for those who don't want rooted devices. DataSync automatically syncs your data from apps/games every time you start/close that app or game. You can use it with box, dropbox, ftp, drive (in a week or so), wifi, bluetooth. It does everything Carbon does but better and automatically. You set up a list of apps you want synced or backed up and it backs everything up every time you have used an app on that list.
The new alpha release is very stable and works great! U can get it here.

DataSync. Titanium did not work for some reason, so I searched for alternatives. The paid version is capable of auto backing up and syncing to other devices. But since I don't have more than one Android device in use, I don't need that and can live with dropbox backups.
