Back up just what you need

On Monday we reviewed some apps that let you backupping both data and apps. However, sometimes you just want to keep safe one specific part of your data: SMS, call logs, contacts or media files. In this sense, you don’t need heavy apps that back up everything. What you need are smooth, fast and easy-to-use apps that allow you to back up specific data in a few taps. Some developers have noticed such need and they’ve launched apps that meet it. Here you are three examples:

My Hub Mobile Backup

This app allows you to backup media files (music, photos and video) and contacts in your device and uploads it to the cloud (My Hub servers). For this reason you need to create a “My Hub” account to use this app. We know it’s annoying to register, but this signing up process is fast and it’s worth. What’s more, it will allow you to backup also files from your computer. Once it’s done, you can login from the app and start to backup files and upload it to the cloud (2 GB’s free storage). The strongest point is that you can easily acces/restore all your data from anywhere, just login in “My Hub” website.

Contacts Backup (Trial/Pro)

A light and simple app to backup your contacts. Bear in mind that it ONLY backs up your contacts. It saves your phonebook in the most common format, .csv, as well as in .html. Then you can export it to Outlook, Gmail, Dropbox or any other sharing resource already installed in your device. You can also save it to your SDcard. Finally, it allows you to import those files whenever you want. Although it’s set in a sober layout, it’s as simple as it looks, and runs as fast as it seems. The main catch is that there are several other apps that not only backup contacts, but also other data. It depends on what preference you’ve given to each thing.

SMS Backup +

It backups just your SMS and MMS and call logs and sync them to your Gmail account or Google Calendar. You can easily (just one tap) restore your data from there to your device. What’s more, you can schedule daily backups, not to lose a single SMS in case your device gets lost or robbed. The layout is quite simple, listed format, black background. However ,it’s fast and easy-to-use. You just need a few taps to use it and it runs smoothly.

Happy Backupping apps discovery!
