Android :: Useful Tool For Backing Up Phone SD Card
Feb 25, 2010
I was looking for a Windows based tool that can make a complete backup image of my SD card (just didn't want to lose 13gb worth of photos and music). I tried the native Windows backup program, Ghost, and just about every other backup solution with no luck. I did run into a free program called "USB Image Tool" and it does just what I need. Once you mount your SD card on your phone, this little program will allow you to create an IMG image and also has restore functions. It is located at:

Some of the posts I have read about upgrading the phones firmware say that they take out the SD Card, why would they do that and is it necessary?

I have a Droid Eris, and in preparation for the impending firmware update, I am trying to back up my apps to an SD card. I downloaded AppMonster and noted that 2 free and 1 paid app are marked 'protected'. I proceeded to 'Backup' and noted those 3 did not back up. How can I get the paid app to save to an SD card? It is the Pure Calendar Widget.

I am a huge Android Forums newbie, but I really needed help with backing up my phone information before hard resetting. Basically, the primary email that the phone is running under is an email for a company I no longer work for so I don't have a valid email there. Because I can't log into my work email, I can't log in and download any new application so unless you guys know of a different solution, I guess my only option is to hard reset and then make a new primary account. However, I would like to save all my contacts and texts messages [if possible, although I hear it's unlikely], but since I can't download any new applications, I also can't download any storage applications for my phone.

I used the recovery mode first time - it worked, second time playing with NoBloat - it gets stuck in boot screen.I can go to the recovery mode menu, both chinese and english, can do a full clear cache, data, format, but phone still won't boot.
I can use ADB shell, but Smart phone flash tool does not recognize phone, MTK droid tool recognizes it, but I can't backup it.

I'm sure it's possible, and as I'm about to update to the new leak (I don't care about Root, don't mention it) I'd like to know how to back up my phone and applications settings- mainly the phone settings, so I don't have to turn shit back on after I update. Are there any apps that do this, or rather, any methods?

Wouldn't the best thing to do when you enter and store a new number would be to just create the contact under your google gmail? that way theres always a copy of all your contacts online? I'm fairly new to the desire so an I missing something, why would anyone want to save to the phone or sim as provided in the options when you save a new contact. what would be the best way to backup your contact if you saved it via sim or phone?

'Sync' is switched on on my phone so I don't know why I need to manually upload my phone contacts from my SD card then attach them & email them to my google account.I just tried to attach phone contacts from SD card to a Gmail to send to my gmail account then log into my PC & import that file into my gmail account from there, but it will only let me attach photos So I tried emailing as an attachment from phone using my yahoo account.That does allow me to attach contacts but it sits there without actually attaching them !I just found I need to tick all contacts to get to attach. So I have to check 200 ticks as there's no check all option !So one by one I tick all & gets sent as 200 attachments in an email.So then download to PC hard drive.Then in Gmail import contacts I have to browse for vCard files. However I can't select all so have to manually browse for each vCard file then import one at a time.There's no option in contacts to select a contact then 'Star in android'.I presume if somethings starred in Android then the sync between phone contacts & gmail should work properly. Even then if you add new contact to phone there's no option in the phone to star it. Code...

I was wondering with all the backup apps that are available which seems to be the best? looked at MyBackup Pro but I noticed that a few comments said that when backing up the contacts the app only backed up 1 # per contact.I have multiple #'s on some contacts.What say you, are there other good backup apps?

Anyone know of any app that will back up Mail? I use MyBackup Pro which is fine for backing up most things, including Messages, but it doesn't back up emails.

I followed the instructions to create an application signing key and have signed my application and submitted it to the Android Market. Now I am trying to backup my key to make sure it doesn't get lost, but I can't figure out how to do this on Windows Vista.When I look in the directory where I ran keytool to create the keystore I can't find the keystore file. When I use eclipse to sign the application and browse to that directory it shows me that the file <my_company_name>.keystore is there and lets me select it as the keystore for signing my application. But when I look in the directory using windows explorer or a command prompt the file is not there (I do have it set to show me hidden and system files). I also tried looking in places like C:Users<my_user_name> and C:Users<my_user_name> Documents but could not see the keystore anywhere.
I ran the keytool command with "keytool -list -keystore <my_company_name>.keystore" and is does list the keystore and shows that it contains the alias <my_app_name>. However I tried running "keytool -keyclone -keystore <my_company_name>.keystore -alias <my_app_name> -destkeystore <my_usb_thumb_drive> <my_company_name>.keystore -dest <my_app_name> -keypass <the_alias_password>" and keytool tells me that "alias <my_app_name> does not exist. I tried different combinations for several hours but was unable to figure out how to get it to make a backup of my signing keystore on my usb thumb drive.I would greatly appreciate any help in pointing me in the right direction. After reading the warnings about not losing your signing key, I feel that making a backup is critical, but I can't figure out how to find the keystore or get keytool to make the backup. I searched but have not been able to find any instructions that work to do this. It seems like an issue that every developer needs to be concerned about.

I just got a HTC Desire and I love it so far, I've spent ages customising it, getting my contacts synced with facebook etc, favourites, bookmarks etc and downloading apps.Now I want to go about putting on a few different ROMs to see what I like. What is the best way to backup all my stuff so that when I do put on a fresh rom I can get all my stuff back as easily as possible?
