Holo Backup

Seeing how smartphones are a very important part of most people’s lives, it makes sense to create a backup of the handset once in a while. Holo Backup can help Android users ensure the contents on their device is safe, even if they do not have expert skills on managing the computer.

First of all, it needs to be mentioned that the application should only be used by those who own smartphones running Android 4.0 or later, otherwise the backup will fail.

Basically, the application is a kind of a frontend to the native backup function of the mobile operating system, thus giving all users the possibility to choose the type of data they want to backup in a straightforward manner, without browsing through various menus of their device.

Holo Backup requires that USB debugging is activated on the target phone, the one you connect to the PC using its dedicated USB cable.

The software utility can be used to backup all the contents of the phone except its system apps, as a complete backup is deemed to be unsafe. You can also choose to backup app and device data, or only backup your mobile applications, while also having the possibility to create a backup of the external SD card or of the text messages.

Another function of Holo Backup is to restore all the created backups to the same device, which means that you cannot rely on this app to clone a device’s contents on a different phone.

To wrap it up, Holo Backup can come in handy when it comes to quickly and intuitively creating a backup of your Android 4.x device to the folder you specify, then restore it with ease.
