Any good Backup utilities like HTC Backup? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

One thing I miss about the HTC One is that it could sync to drop box or drive and backup my phone app and settings , even file folders and apps that were in them would go back in their right full place.
Has samsung done anything similar? I believe Kiev doesn't backup data and TouchWiz settings.

"Keis" is what he meant i believe, I have used Keis when i had unrooted stock and if i remember correctly it only backs up user data from the internal "Media" folder. however, titanium backup or helium are two really good alternatives and helium (if you by the paid version) allows backup to the cloud.

I personally use titanium backup, and it works great. I had to invest a little time to configure it exactly what I wanted, but now I am worry free in regards to the APKs, as I know I have good backups.

Easybackup is free and works great, cloud backup too (gets data backed up if you are rooted).

Perfect man. Thanks. I don't know what I didn't search the market. I just came on here and tried searching first

Network Backup App

I was wondering if anybody has seen or wanted to build an app that would allow you to do system backup, and allow individual folders to be selected, then transfer them to ftp/sftp address on a schedulable time. Maybe even after it was done, send an email/alert that it was successful/failed.
I looked and there was really nothing around like this...
I wish I could program, make a few bucks off it!

Also, Titanium (non media) Backup will allow you to make a backup to your dropbox account

Other app like Titanium Backup

Is there any good app other than TiBu that can backup apps and data? What can you recommend?

My Backup Pro. Is the best backup app around according to me. In TB you have to go to individual app in the selection and chose. He you can back up every damn thing on the phone with just few steps. And restoring is why too easy.
It has a lite version too. 1 month trial. Trust me..I have used TB before but now I use this is absolutely wonderful

What is the big difference between mybackuppro and mybackuproot?
Do you have to confirm every installation of app like with TB? thats pretty annoying ^^
Is it possible to shedule like saving changes in data or newer version?
Can't go wrong purchasing Titanium Backup Pro !! Well worth it. Plus supporting the Dev as well with the buy.

But you are completely wrong.
If you buy the Pro version of TB, you can batch restore, batch backup, batch delete etc. etc. LOTS of things you can do all at once, like verify all backups, it goes on and on.
Mybackup PRO you have to buy as well and it isn't as nice as TB when it comes to app backup and restore.
But MBP has better functions to save SMS/Contacts/Call Log/APN etc.
TB can only save Wifi, Call log, SMS and one other thing I can't recall.
Titanium Pro is the best app I've ever purchased (twice, actually). But if you are cheap MyBackupPro Root is free.
Useboth TiBu and My backup root. mbr is free, and TiBu pro does a much faster restore than My Backup Root. MBR dies a better job on text messages,etc as previously said.

If you are looking for the best way to keep your data and app info in intact Tibu pro is worth the money in my opinion. For me it's the only way to go when trying to restore and keep my data across different ROMs.

+1 TiBu pro... Well worth the money.

Well I have restored from Gingerbread to Gingerbread before with no issues.
I backed up with TiBu and tried to go from Gingerbread to ICS and had nothing but headaches. About 60 apps won't install and keep giving me errors such as 'parsing package' etc. and THERE IS NO HELP ONLINE TO SOLVE THIS ERROR.
So I can no longer recommend Titanium Backup.
I would say use multiple backup software BUT DO NOT DEPEND ON TIBU ALONE.
If you haven't bought it, don't, not until they can fix this issue or explain why it happens.
If u restored system apps or system data after going to ics from gb, that would cause issues. Not saying u did...just sayin. Or the apps (some) may not be compatible with ics.

I did NOT restore system data or system apps.
The apps I'm restoring are compatible, I'm sure of that because some of them are updated and the same version as the market which installs them just fine.
Restoring system data or apps wouldn't cause the package parsing error anyway.
TiBu has some glitches that the developers NEVER fixed and NEVER documented or explained.
So until they can resolve what this package parsing error is, I recommend you either use 2 solutions or stay away from TiBu entirely.
I need a app that can do backups to individual apps titanium backup doesn't worm for me it says insuficient storage and I tried everything, and my backup pro was a waste of money

App backup?

This is a pretty stupid question, but what should I use for non-rooted backups? I have a few apps I want to back up the data of. I usually use Titanium Backup, but I'm on non-rooted 4.4.
Try Helium. It's made by Koush of CyanogenMod fame. It requires a computer, but works as advertised.
Helium Premium ftw.

Or if you don't want to support that guy, just use adb backup. It is the back bone of helium anyway.

So yesterday I purchased Helium Premium. Set it all up, backed up the few apps that needed it, made sure the files were there on Dropbox. Erased the phone..... and two of the apps won't restore.
Awesome.
Yeah... I like Helium when it works, but it's not super robust, and when something breaks, it seems to be excessively difficult to fix it or work around it.
I can't quite tell what is a limitation of the app, and what is a limitation of the back-end ADB backup/restore process that's being used.
Anything you know that I can try? I've got about 4 hours of progress into a game that I can't restore.
A manual ADB restore of both apps worked great. Thanks!
Helium is definitely pretty cool, but I'll be sure to make manual ADB backups of critical data in the future.

Is it better to setup your device as a new device or allow Google to restore apps

So my question to all you flashers, What in your opinion is better. To allow Google to restore your apps or set up your device as a new device? Thank you for response.
I've always restored from titanium backup. Ever since my Droid X.
