I recall coming across a YouTube video that allows complete back ups. I don't recall the name of the app, but my question is whether or not root access is required? Can anyone recommend any such apps. I can't find the app that I found on YouTube
Helium backup is the only app I know of that will let you do a "full" backup without rooting:
This is the free version: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ils?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&token=LkPleZ3j
and the paid one: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...om.koushikdutta.backup.license&token=paMe43O0
I'm not sure what the paid version gets you, so read the descriptions carefully.
Don't forget backing up game and app data. That is why backup apps are important.
