MyBackup Pro – Security Blanket For Your Data
Tested version: 3.0.5
Latest version: 3.1.0
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
- Backup applications
- Manual one-time backup
- Backup with schedule option
- Backup to SD card
- Remote backup via internet to distant server
- Playback of backup of SD card or remote via the internet
- Display and delete backup data
- Secure access thanks to ID and password
Root users also have access to MyToolbox features:
- Freeze bloatware, system apps
- UnFreeze frozen applications
- Wipe Cache of applications
- Wipe Data of applications
- Uninstall applications
- Break the Android Market Link to Apps
- Link Apps to the Android Market
- Force Close applications
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.

Neo Experia Product works great, will be perfect when it syncs with dropbox, however 5 stars for an excellent customer service, very polite and professional.

Good backup app Awesome customer support. Set to backup regularly online & onto SD card. If you plan on backing-up data & apps online, be prepared to pay for storage space, although worth it.
Rob, Apr 19, 2012
Didnt restore app data I moved between two non-rooted phones, with the original phone not able to be rooted. All of my data (pics, msgs, etc) was backed up and restored successfully except for app data. Had it done that I wouldve given 5 stars, but I shouldve read the full release notes before I expected this to happen too. Overall good app, just needs non-root app data recovery.

Not working after flashing new ROM No matter what location I give it (/sdcard, /mnt/sdcard, etc.), MyBackup Pro can't find the backup file to restore (though I can see it in any file browser). I wish I bought Titanium backup.

Not Bad. This actually worked fairly well. I was able to transfer all the the apps I needed from the Droid Incredible to my Droid Razr Maxx. Easy to use. The only 2 cons I had with it. 1st was that setting were not transferred with apps. You will need to reapply your settings in each app. 2nd not happy with $5 price. I feel $3 would have been sufficient.

Truly an example of a great app and great support! I purchased this app well over a year ago and it's been the first app installed after flashing a new ROM. Switching ROMs and having all apps reinstalled with their respective states restored is an awesome time-saver! Going to repurchase this for my father when I next see him; I've a feeling his phone never gets backed up! ;) The Support team is absolutely phenomenal (even 15 months after a measly few dollar purchase). A Google Play integration issue was resolved speedily!

So much easier than Titanium BckUp Although there can be a trial and error period, when first leaning My BackUp Pro, and initial backUps & restores can take some time, it really does have the best backup reliability. SO MUCH EASIER THAN LOUSY TITANIUM BACKUP! My only real complaint is how initial backups/restores can't run in the background...

Great Back Up :) Great Back Up :) Well Worth Buying The ReWare Pro App & More Online Space, & It Covers 2 Smartphone Mobiles :) Very Quick E-Mail Customer Services :) Wish They Had A Twitter.Com,FaceBook.Com,Multiply.Com, Accounts :)

Great Customer Support Had a problem with app freezing and Customer Support quickly resolved the issue! This is the best backup solution I have found and this customer service level is much appreciated.
David, Apr 17, 2012
Good on Samsung Galaxy S2 Very handy for reinstalling to a previous version of an app after you find the latest version does not work on your device. Would get 5 stars if you could sync your backup back to your pc for ultimate security.
Robert, Apr 16, 2012
... Great app, keeps my data safe. A must have app. Never used restore untill now though.
Chuck, Apr 15, 2012
