Guest ScottR Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hi folks What would be the easiest and most thorough way of backing-up/syncing everything on my Xperia X10? I have read some advice on the SE website but I am unsure whether what they suggest includes absolutely everything on my phone, i.e. downloads from the Andriod Market, contacts, music, pictures, settings, etc. I previously had a Nokia 5800 which had an in-built backup programme which made a copy of everything onto the memory card. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Many thanks Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Many thanks Scott I quite like Astro file manager for backups. I have given a link to the app on Appbrain. To do a backup, simply hit menu, go to tools, choose "Application Manager/Backup" Then you can back up all your apps from there (as long as the developer hasn't marked them as private that is) Once/if rooted I love Titanium Backup as it can back up all apps and settings regardless of whether or not the developer has marked them as private. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BuglyAstard Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 USe My Backup Pro...It backup's both apk's and data..It's excellent Ive been using titanium, I like the options but I might try My Backup Pro. The apk installer in the MIUI roms is nice because it compiles all your apks into one and you select ALL or just what you want and it installs them without prompt, as in having to press install for each apk like in titanium. MIUI is awesome, if mybackuppro can batch install Ill take it! If you want to do a nice clean, safe backup. Use file expert and backup your apps, it makes a folder called backup_ups, take those and put them in flashtool file custom apps, after a new rom is installed just use flashtool to install. Alot of ways to do it, just play with it if you have time, if not go with whats common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PhrozenFear Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I have been using MiUI from Trip now for a while. Love it. And it comes with it's own MiUI Backup. Another one that I use, just as a general backup, is the backup feature in XRecovery... though I haven't tried doing an advanced restore from it, I'm told you can restore just your apps / settings from it. As for backing up the important stuff (to me, that's my call history and sms) I use the free SMS Backup & Restore, and Call Log Backup And Restore. Everything else I can reinstall later - heck, I keep all the APK's on my SD card to reinstall from anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest richardcbristol Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I use Xrecovery to completely back up my ROM. I've used it a few times to restore and it works flawlessly for me. It should do as it takes an entire backup of all the system files. I guess if you store apps on SD card then it wouldn't back up those? But then again they're on the SD card so would still be there as long as you didn't lose that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blaven Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Titanium is the best tough, since it can sync with dropbox and gets updated quite often. If you use the paid version (like me) it is also very fast and backs up everything. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PhrozenFear Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Yeah, I've heard that, but I can't afford it at the moment - my cellphone bill just skyrocketed last couple months, so I am so broke I can't even afford to pay att-- ooh Shiny !!

Guest PhrozenFear Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 It's a joke. A combination of Attention Deficit and Hypertension Disorder and being broke. The saying goes, "I'm so broke I can't afford to pay attention." I just combined it with the thought of someone who's ADHD saying that. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
