Morning all – Backing up your phone regularly is the best way to save hundreds of $ on data recovery costs in the event your phone gets damaged or fails. Last week we spoke about backing up iPhones, today we’ll take a look at Samsungs..
1. Connect your Samsung device to a Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the Settings app on your Samsung device.
3. Scroll down and tap “Accounts and backup.”
4. Tap “Backup and restore.”
5. Toggle on “Back up my data” to enable automatic backups.
6. Tap “Backup account” to select the account you want to use for your backups.
7. Tap “Back up now” to start backing up your Samsung device.
Like the iPhone, the initial backup can take some time depending on the amount of data on your device and the speed of your Wi-Fi connection. Subsequent backups will be faster because they will only include the changes made since the last backup.
Alternatively, you can also back up your Samsung device to your computer using Samsung Smart Switch. Here’s how:
1. Download and install Samsung Smart Switch on your computer.
2. Connect your Samsung device to your computer using a USB cable.
3. Open Samsung Smart Switch on your computer.
4. Click “Backup” in the Smart Switch window.
5. Select the data you want to back up.
6. Click “Backup” again to start backing up your Samsung device.
It’s essential to regularly back up your Samsung device to ensure that your data is safe and easily recoverable. Whether you choose to use Samsung’s built-in backup features or Smart Switch, the process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few clicks.
