I would honestly back up only the minimum that you need, and to an Sd card if possible. AS far as I know, My Backup does a pretty good job overall of back up and restores.

Go ahead with it. Let us know how it goes.

I never used My Backup Pro, but Helium does a pretty good job. (Since the phone isn't rooted, you'll need to download an app to the computer you're using to back up to, but Helium gives you the link for it.)

Thanks for the info. What app are u talking about to download on pc? For what?
I seen in mybackup pro, there is a option to save the backup file on sd card.

How many times did u do a backup and restore with helium? Any problems? Does it restore info/data and apps to there home pages as u had them?

It's a program Helium tells you to download to the PC. Does the stuff that would be done if Helium were running on a rooted Android, I guess.

I've never had a problem backing up/restoring, **** I'm the belt/suspenders/glue/nails type. Back up to the SD card. Copy the backup to the desktop. Copy it to the laptop. Copy it to another SD card. At least one of them won't go bad by the time I need it. (I learned the hard way when an entire system backup - the only copy in existence - got corrupted, and we lost a few months of work.)
