Recovering Android Mobile Data with Backup
Recovering
Android Mobile Data with Backup
I cannot emphasize enough on the importance of keeping a regular
backup of all your data. There are many ways to backup data in your Android
device but most common and reliable ones include backing up your data locally within
the device or backing up your data in Google.
In the following, I am going to talk about the process of
restoring your data from both these backup options.
Local Backup
Android
OS offers different ways to backup your data locally. These include backing up
on an external storage device like an external hard drive or SD card or on
Samsung Cloud (for Samsung users).
Being a few taps process, I backed up my Android device’s data on the Samsung
Cloud and here is how you can restore it through the same after a factory
reset.
On
your Android device, go to Settings > Accounts and backup and under Samsung
Cloud, tap Restore data.
1.
Samsung Cloud will ask
for secondary verification. Choose any of the given verification methods.
2.
Once verified, you
will see your Android device’s name. If you have multiple Android devices
backed up on the same Samsung Cloud account, you’ll be able to see all of those
there.
3.
You’ll see all the
backed-up data and you tap Restore to get all of it back on
your device.
The above-mentioned
method is ideal for Samsung device users. However, a more universal way
to backup and restore your data nevertheless of the device you use is
through Google One 2.
If
you have your data backup in Google One, here’s how you can restore it after a
factory reset on your Android device.
1.
Go to the Google
Drive app and login to the account that you used to back up your
Android device’s data.
2.
Tap on the hamburger
menu on the left and then tap Backups.
3.
You will see all the
data backups created on the drive. Tap on the device’s name that you want to
restore the backup for and you’ll see all types of data that has been backed
up. You can restore any or all of it from here.
