在当今时代，我们的手机已成为您自己的延伸。我们将您一天中的大部分时间花在我们的智能手机上做某事。无论是发短信或给某人打电话，还是参加商务电话和召开虚拟董事会会议，我们的手机都是我们生活中不可或缺的一部分。除了花费的时间之外，使手机如此重要的原因是其中存储的数据量。我们几乎所有与工作相关的文档、应用程序、个人照片、视频、音乐等都存储在我们的手机上。结果，与我们的手机分开的想法并不令人愉快。
但是，每部智能手机都有固定的使用寿命，之后它要么会损坏，要么其功能和规格变得无关紧要。那么您的设备就有可能丢失或被盗。因此，您会不时发现自己想要或不得不升级到新设备。虽然使用先进和精美的新小工具的乐趣和兴奋感觉很棒，但处理所有这些数据的想法却没有。根据您使用旧设备的年数，数据量可能介于海量和庞大之间。因此，感到不知所措是很常见的。但是，如果您使用的是Android设备，那么Google 备份(Google Backup)将为您完成大部分繁重的工作。它的备份服务使将数据传输到新手机变得非常容易。在本文中，我们将详细讨论Google 备份(Google Backup)的工作原理，并提供逐步指南，将您的应用程序、设置和数据恢复到新的Android手机。

Restore Apps and Settings to a new Android phone from Google Backup
In the present times, оur mobіlе phonеs have become an extension of your selves. We spend a maјor part of уour day doing something on our smartphones. Be it texting or calling someone personal, or attending business calls and having a virtual board meeting, oυr mobiles are an іntegral part of our lives. Apart from the number of hours spent, the rеaѕon that makes mobile phones so important is the amount of data stored in them. Almost all our wоrk-related documents, apps, personal photos, videos, music, etc. are stored on our mobilе phones. As a result, the thought of parting with our phone isn’t a pleasant one.
However, every smartphone has a fixed life span, after which it either gets damaged, or its features and specifications simply become irrelevant. Then there is the possibility of your device getting lost or stolen. Therefore, from time to time, you will find yourself wanting or having to upgrade to a new device. While the joy and excitement of using an advanced and a fancy new gadget feel great, the idea of dealing with all that data does not. Depending on the number of the years you were using your previous device, the amount of data could range anywhere between massive and gargantuan. Thus, it is quite common to feel overwhelmed. However, if you are using an Android device, then Google Backup will do most of the heavy lifting for you. Its backup service makes it quite easy to transfer data to a new phone. In this article, we will discuss in detail how Google Backup works and provides a step-wise guide to restore your apps, settings, and data to a new Android phone.
What is the need for Backup?
As mentioned earlier, our mobile phones contain a lot of important data, both personal and official. Under any circumstances, we wouldn’t want our data to get lost. Therefore, it is always better to prepare for unforeseen situations like your phone getting damaged, lost, or stolen. Maintaining a backup ensures that your data is safe. Since it is saved on a cloud server, any physical damage to your device will not affect your data. Given below is a list of various situations where having a backup could be a lifesaver.
1. You accidentally misplace your device, or it gets stolen. The only way you can get back your precious data is by making sure that you have been regularly backing up your data on the cloud.
2. A specific component like the battery or the entire device gets damaged and rendered unusable due to its age. Having a backup ensures a hassle-free data transfer to a new device.
3. Your Android smartphone could be a victim of a ransomware attack or other trojans that target your data. Backing up your data on Google Drive or other cloud services provide protection against it.
4. Data transfer via USB cable is not supported in some devices. Backup saved on the cloud is the only alternative in such situations.
5. It is even possible that you accidentally delete some important files or photos, and having a backup prevents that data from getting lost forever. You can always restore accidentally deleted files from the backup.
Make sure that Backup is Enabled
Before we begin with restoring our apps and settings to a new Android phone, we need to make sure that Backup is enabled. For Android devices, Google provides a pretty decent automatic backup service. It regularly syncs your data and saves a backup copy on Google Drive. By default, this backup service is enabled and activated when you sign in your device using your Google account. However, there is nothing wrong with double-checking, especially when your precious data is on the line. Follow the steps given below to make sure Google backup is enabled.
1. Firstly, open Settings on your device.
2. Now tap on the Google option. This will open the list of Google services.
3. Check if you are logged in to your account. Your profile picture and email id on the top indicates that you are logged in.
4. Now scroll down and tap on the Backup option.
5. Here, the first thing that you need to make sure is that the toggle switch next to Backup to Google Drive is turned on. Also, your Google account should be mentioned under the account tab.
6. Next, tap on the name of your device.
7. This will open a list of items that are currently getting backed up to your Google Drive. It includes your app data, your call logs, contacts, device settings, photos, and videos (Google photos), and SMS text messages.

How to Restore Apps and Settings using a third-party app
Apart from Android’s built-in backup service, there are a number of powerful and useful third-party apps and software that allow you to restore your apps and settings easily. In this section, we are going to discuss two such apps that you can consider instead of Google backup.
1. Wondershare TunesGo
Wondershare TunesGo is a dedicated backup software that allows you to clone your device and create a backup copy. Later, when you wish to transfer the data to a new device, you can easily use the backup files created with this software’s help. The only thing that you will need is a computer to use Wondershare TunesGo. Download and install the software on your computer and then connect your device to it.

In terms of compatibility, it supports almost every Android smartphone out there irrespective of the manufacturer (Samsung, Sony, etc.) and Android version. It is a complete backup solution and provides every service that you might need. Also, since the data is being stored locally on your computer, there is no question of violation of privacy, which is a concern for many Android users in cloud storage.
This makes Wondershare TunesGo an extremely popular and ideal option if you do not wish to upload your data to an unknown server location.
2. Titanium Backup
Titanium Backup is another popular app that allows you to create a backup for all your apps, and you can restore them as and when required. Titanium Backup is mostly used to get back all your apps after a factory reset. Additionally, you will also need to have a rooted device to use Titanium Backup. Using the app is simple.
1. Once you download and install the app, give it root access when it asks for it.
2. After that, go to the Schedules tab and select the Run option under “Backup all new apps and newer versions”. This will create a backup for all the apps installed on your device.
3. Now connect your device to a computer and copy the “Titanium Backup” folder, which will either be in the Internal storage or SD card.
4. Reset your device after this and once everything is set up, install Titanium Backup again. Also, copy the “Titanium Backup” folder back to your device.

Backing up your data and media files is very important as it not only makes transferring data to a new phone easier but also protects your data against any accidental loss. Data theft, ransomware attacks, viruses, and trojan invasion are very real threats, and backup provides decent protection against it. Every Android device running Android 6.0 or higher has an identical backup and restore process. This ensures that irrespective of the device’s manufacturer, the data transfer and initial setup process is the same. However, if you are reluctant to upload your data on some cloud storage, you can always opt for offline backup software like the ones described in this article.
