Requires Android: from 1.5
|
Summary
Heaven forbid you should lose your smartphone—it’s a nightmare on so many levels, one of them being having to reenter all of one’s private data. The same is true every time you have to reset your device and have to waste time reentering data. MyBackup Pro will not only backup your data but your most important/paid for applications, too.
Features & Use
Section rating:
MyBackup Pro does a thorough backup of your phone and private data with the following options:
- Backup personal data

- Manual one-time backup
- Backup with schedule option
- Backup to SD card

Bottom line:
MyBackup Pro is designed to make the horror of losing or breaking one’s Android device somewhat less scary. Backups are scheduled, meaning they run by themselves in the background, meaning you needn’t constantly be worrying/thinking about having to do backups.
Backups can be curated to a certain extent, meaning you can choose to back up only contacts or SMS, for instance. This also means that you can control which files/data are shared with third parties.
Screen & Controls
Section rating:
MyBackup Pro’s design is somewhat old school, I even heard some 'Yikes, that’s ugly,' whispers coming from some of my colleagues. I personally don’t mind MyBackup’s design, especially because it is so easy to use, and that’s what counts.
Controls are easy and relatively intuitive.
Speed & Stability
Section rating:
MyBackup Pro ran well throughout our test period. Commands were executed speedily and screens displayed promptly. Even remote backup didn’t take long, though this is of course contingent on the data volume.
I also like that remote access is protected via ID and password.
Price/Performance Ratio
Section rating:
MyBackup Pro is available for 3,80EUR from the Android Market, which might seem like a lot but is money well spent for a tool that is very useful indeed.

Schedule your backups And relax. This app will take care of the rest. You can chose online backup, or backup to your SD card. But, if you only backup to your phone, what happens when you lose your phone?

Quick and reliable Love that it lets me choose exactly what I want to back up and discard the rest ie music tracks or videos

A must app for upgrading phone Made changing to a new phone a breeze. One draw back is the cost of needed extra online storage.

Back-up for air-heads! Excellent software - no doubt about it! But if you are an air-headed blonde, like I am, I would suggest you practice with the on-line backup first.
