Assuming you have root access, no other backup app comes close to Titanium Backup. This exhaustive app can save almost anything: apps, application data, messages, system settings, widgets, backgrounds, you name it.
Its recovery services don’t only work on stock devices, either, but also across most hardware, Android versions and custom ROMs.
2. Helium Backup
Helium is one of the few backup apps that convinces not only with its functionality but also with its attractive design. Even without root privileges, it is possible to use Helium to backup not only your apps but also messages, Wi-Fi passwords, and application data. Backups of media files such as photos, music and videos are not possible with Helium.
3. My Backup
Regular users can create backups of their programs, messages, system settings, APNs and contacts and call lists.
4. App Backup and Restore
App Backup and Restore has the basic backup features including app backups, batch backups, and the capacity to backup to restore multiple versions of the same app in case you ever want to roll back to a prior version. It also contains an uninstall manager, the ability to send APKs to other devices via Bluetooth, email, and WiFi, and more.
5. Ultimate Backup
It aims to be a competitor to Titanium Backup. That means you can freeze/unfreeze system apps and bloatware, backup apps, sync apps to cloud storage, and there is even a task killer built in if you want one (not recommended). If you buy the premium version, you can get scheduled backups, restoring from the cloud, unlock batch actions, and it’ll remove advertising.
6. Manual backups
Most files on your device are accessible from a computer, including music, photos, videos, and downloaded files. If you hook your device up to a computer, you can manually drag and drop those files onto your computer for safe keeping. You can go a step further, enter your contacts app, and export your contacts to your SD card and put that file on your computer as well for importing later.
