Android operating systems have different methods to make backup copies of all the contents stored on the cell phone. However, there are two ways that are widely used by users and it is through the Google cloud or locally, that is, an internet connection is not required.
According to the portal 4Androall, Android by default incorporates a section in the system settings, which is intended to restore data from previous phones. These copies, if activated, perform the recovery process for the following data:
- Call History.
- Applications.
- Text messages.
- Google account data.
- Photos and videos.
To make this type of copy, the following steps must be carried out:
- Enter ‘System Settings’.
- Access the ‘System’ section.
- Click on the ‘Backup’ tool.
- Activate this option in Google One.
When you log in with the registered account on a new device, all data backed up at the time will be restored automatically. It is noteworthy that the Android version must not be older than the one on the previous phone, that is, the latest version is needed.
Now, if the intention is to save documents, folders or any type of multimedia files, the best option is to use Google Drive. In this sense, the application must be downloaded to the phone if it is not installed and perform the following steps:
- Select the blue floating button to add.
- Click on the ‘Upload’ option.
- Choose all the documents, folders and files that you want to upload.
It is worth mentioning that Google Drive manages a space of 15 GB, which is why you must be selective with all the things that are going to be backed up. To access them on another device, just download the application and log in with the registered account.
