Introduction
For most of us these days, our phones act as a
precious archive. Our phones gallery holds
sentimental values and professional information,
like the video of a baby girls first steps,
selfies from a memorable first date, or important
conversations from a WhatsApp group, emails,
contacts, and whatnot. Fortunately, you can
easily back up the data on your Android, so if
your phone is lost, dead, or stolen, you will
still have access to it all.
