How to Backup and Restore your Samsung Smartphone (Contacts, Messages, Settings, etc)

In this video, I am going to show you how to backup and restore your Samsung Smartphone. All Samsung smartphones such as the Galaxy S10, S9, S8, Note 9, and Note 8 have the same built-in method for backing them up.
Each backup backs up phone call logs, contacts, messages, settings, home screen settings, and more. It basically backs up a replica of your smartphone so if you ever lose your phone or damage it, you can restore everything and move on.

Can you guys help me

I have a samsung s21 Ultra I did a factory reset and I don't know how to get my data back

[@TheCirefreecire]

Since you are in IT guy. If I back up and restore my settings for my Android will that also backup my login information for the apps that I have saved to my Google account?

[@tomcora9417]

I used to search Google when I needed to find something out about my Android. Now I just come to your channel and 99.9% of the time can find what I need. Thanks!

Great info. My phone recently died and I didn't back it up. So, I've spent endless hours trying to recapture some of the data. Having watched this video, I backed up everything!

Hi sir..I love your video an was wondering, will this backup also backup my gallery ? my files section ? Meaning all the pictures and videos in it ? How do I go about fully backing up my S9 ??

[@annejennings118]

Thank you SO MUCH!! Every tech store I've been to to ask how to do this only ever tells me smart switch and I spend months trying to get my phone back to how I like it. I just switched mine over and it was painless and worked like a charm!

[@rafag9129]

ok, this is for those who dont appear the samsung section to back up and restore, here is the way to do it: 1- first of all you have to sign in into your samsung account on the device you want to restore, once samsung account is ok on your phone ... lets go Settings > Accounts and backup > Accounts > [your Samsung account] > Services > Samsung Cloud > (scroll down) and youll find the three options {1 Back up this phone, 2 Restore data, 3 Delete backup} Hope you find this helpfull, this was on my samsung galaxy s10+, but it should work on other devices thanks

I am locked out of services. I can only back up to google or use smartswitch on Verizon note 8. A horrible decision. I bought Note 8 to have separate backup FROM google. I never imagined the Note 8 from Verizon had been totally reconfigured. Note 9's are the same. Basically google raided all my private info I had previously stored separately. Screwed up lost, duplicated, contacts, you name it...Verizon said all I can do is turn off google backup and do manual backups. All files are now everywhere. I don't see how it could be legal. Evidently if you previously owned a Samsung you were not affected. This was my first, bought specifically to keep a backup of contacts, calendar, texts in a separate account as Verizon backup sucks and I didn't want google to be my only back up (or have access to everything on my phone).

I have a future video suggestion. My desktop is an iMac. My new phone is a Galaxy S9+. What is the best way for Mac desktop/laptop users to get their iTunes music library synched up or onto their Android phone? Would love to see what you recommend both how to do it manually and how to do it with software/sync somehow if possible. Thank you.

[@jiesang]

Finally a English video

[@ablair245]

Looks like good information. I have a question, when following your instructions I got a notification saying, “What we can’t back up” which included Messages, Contacts, Calendar, Settings, Homescreen and some apps. Why would this be and how can I backup everything?

[@arnelnabor7283]

Thank you so much. So helpful

[@Fig5000]

This was helpful, thanks. One thing that doesn't get addressed in the backups is photos. Can you tell me how to backup the photos? Thanks

I deleted a single text from one of my contacts 2 days ago; i had intended to do so. Later, I went in to save a pic from another contact/text to my gallery and all those texts had been deleted. I then checked my conversations and every text that I had from all my contacts with whom I text had been deleted! I have been trying to retrieve all the deleted texts without success. I did have all my backups in place on my settings. Is there a way to use, for example, the SD card or Google or other method where text messages are kept or "hidden" to retrieve? This video was quite informative as we are comtemplating purchasing another phone. Thank you. God bless you.

[@scottbutera1647]

The apps are restored but how do you restore the content of the apps? For example, I use video editing apps that save the edited files within the apps or to the internal storage of my phone. My phone got fried so I'm trying to get all the content, and all I get are reloaded empty apps. Can you comment, whether for a save this time, or a save next? Thank you

It's excellent. Is there any way to have full backup on Laptop or external SD?

Another reason to backup your data is just in case updating the firmware fail I reccomend you to use smart switch to backup your data and include multimedia files to the backup

[@hodglotser6505]

Thanks for this great video! I have just one question: Does Samsung Notes data is backed up and restored too or it is not another way to save what I wrote?

Question. when u do a back up of your secure folder to your Samsung account to restore it later, won't that overwrite the back up u have made out of your secure folder? How do u have a back up of your 2 separate content, Secure and non secure?

[@jasonl4237]

Hi, I am preparing in advance if I one day lose my phone or if my phone is completely faulty screen black cracked/dead, I want to recover everything to a new phone e.g. photos, sms, whatsapp, telegram, call history, app settings, chrome bookmarks/opened tabs/history/downloaded pdf/files after I have lost access to my old phone. May I know if I follow every step in this video, is it enough to recover everything (latest updated data exactly like the day I lose the phone) from the old phone back in a new phone? If no what other stuff do I need to do? How to schedule an auto daily full backup of Samsung Account backup and Google Account backup? 1:41min, you mention samsung backup is more detailed, after I lose my phone should I restore backup of Google account or Samsung account first? I wonder if Samsung restore will overwrite Google restore backup or vice versa to cause corruption or missing data. Thanks a lot

Hi, thanks for this video! do you know if this method also works if I buy a phone from a different brand (eg. if I go from Samsung to LG or Nokia etc) and/or different operating system (eg. from Android to iOS)? Right now I have a Samsung phone and I am going to use your tips to back it up. However, I was wondering what will happen in case my next phone is not a Samsung. Any idea? Many thanks

When you restored 2.89 G's it asked if you wanted to delete 6.42 G's. Will it delete the entire backup or just what was restored?

Will this also backup all folders and left over files that were from apps, no longer installed on the device? I have so many garbage folders and random files on my device that I can't really tell what can be deleted, etc. If this does indeed backup those files, what is the best solution to remove these items before restoring the device?

[@SuperKiko112]

Does huawei have the same backup feature including the homescreen.

[@rmshahable]

Hi good review but note that Android Pie has a bug which grays out the Google backup option when screen lock is active. I see this on my Galaxy S10+, but don’t know how to solve it

[@pc-ly1vy]

i would like to back up my phone onto my pc or external drive, not in the the cloud. do u have a video on that process? -- also, near the end of this video you said to delete the back up right after restoring onto the new phone. i was always told Not to delete your backups until you have a new , later back up to take its place. that way if there's any problems, you can do the restore again if needed. isnt that a safer procedure? overall, great video. thanks!

Is there a reason I don't have a Samsung account option/section in my backup and restore? Only Google is there as well as backup to sd card option. That's weird because I'm logged into my Samsung account on my phone as far as I know. I use an S9.

[@sharonparkinson1003]

When i get onto the backup screen it doesn't give me any of the details yours does. I don't get the amount of storage or the backup at the bottom. do you have any idea why?

I hv 1 question apart from this video, I saw one another video in that a man was saying that by taping build number 7 times ur phn gets faster....its is true?

[@Gemini530]

Which is the better option to back up and restore? Samsung or google? Samsung only has 15gb of backup space. I've heard that with google they never charge you even if you exceed the minimum gb.

[@XXXJEROEN]

Im sending my galaxy s7 to repairs at the Samsung place knowing ill lose all the current data made my heartbreak but seeing this video reassured me ill be able to get my stuff back just fine. My one and only concern being. With 2 factor authentication does those settings go into the new and repaired phone aswell or not any knowledge on that?

[@stoloveje6144]

Can you do this with an existing older phone that you already have? So let's say I have the note 9 and I want to back my things up on it but put it on an older Samsung phone that was already previously used as long as the storage space is on that older Samsung phone is it still possible?

Hello - I want to revert to my original default home screen from when my phone was brand new. Do I just un-check the home screen backup up option when I'm doing the backup and restore?

[@Pumaboy2000]

Yea just uncheck it even if u accidentally add the old home screen you can remove it

[@GabrielGDTv]

If you are syncing Samsung Notes with Samsung Cloud and if you restore in another phone will all my notes transfer over to my new device?

[@iTachi_Uchiha512]

Hi i wanna ask that will it restore the photos too ?

[@davidjames2145]

Just so you're aware... I wanted to back up my Samsung Galaxy and initially downloaded their Smart Switch software. At the installation point I was, as normal, presented with their End User Licence Agreement (EULA), which I read. No, really - I read it. Don't you? Anyway, when I got to the part about what data they collect I stopped dead. Basically, it's EVERYTHING THEY POSSIBLY CAN. Device details, O/S type, IP address, MAC address... it went on. Remember this is for software to simply transfer/back up data. I didn't install it. Watching this _very_ helpful video (👍), I realised I didn't have a Samsung account. So, I started down that path as far as the Privacy Statement. And there it was again - the revelation that Samsung collects _disproportionate_ data to the task requested. Why do they require my device details right down to the MAC address? Why do they need my name, address and date of birth? How secure is that data? Will it be shared outside of the EU? Basically people, Samsung is data-hungry and collects far more than it needs to. If that doesn't bother you then fire away. But if you're in Europe, with good data laws and the General Data Protection Regulations, then I advise you to use caution. I'm just going to connect my phone to my PC and image it as a remote device. Maybe not ideal, but my personal data stays safe. 🇬🇧

This does transfer contacts and call logs, but only 10% or my apps were moved over and still without data. Is there a better way?
