Backing up HTC One

[c613m]

Might be a stupid question, but coming from iPhone / iTunes where everything would backup as soon as I plug it into my Mac... is there a way to do a daily backup of my phone? So if something happened, I wouldn't lose my data?

if you're rooted, use Titanium Backup for apps or do a Nandroid backup to create an complete image of your current system.

I'm not rooted. And not really sure I plan too. Not until I learn more. Is there no other way?!

Does Carbon backup Helium work? Or is that something that is specific to Nexus devices? I will post the link below if you wanted to check it out, it also does not require root.

EDIT: I suck at spelling. Fixed it.

HTC has a built-in backup setting that uses your Dropbox account (and gives you ~25 GB free). It's under settings. If it's set to Google, click on Google, and it should give you the option to use your HTC account.

Oh cool, that'll work for now! Mine was set to Google, obviously I'll use Dropbox instead. Thanks!

Depends on the carrier for the 25gb for free. I use AT&T so I am not eligible for the free storage, unless you know of a way around that.

What if we leave it on Google? Does that mean we have a back up of our phone on Google? Is it a complete backup with pics, video, text messages and apps?

I wasn't aware it was carrier-dependent. Sprint gives the extra space, but I don't know of a way around it... Sorry.

I use google to backup all my contacts.
Dropbox for my photos and files
Lastly, Carbon for game save files( no root needed)

HTC's built in app is the best. It backed up all setting and apps to dropbox for me. The only downside is that you have to choose either/or to backup to. You have to choose either HTC's backup or Google's. Cant choose both.

Google's BU is crap. It does not restore any settings or even all of the playstore apps. Other than contacts (which has its own quirks) nothing else is reliable. Which is really a shame.
I have another question. If rooted and got wiped, then recreated everything from sratch to where you want it. Now you have Ti BU/HTC both of which can do it on the cloud. Will installing a new ROM like the HD, then restoring from cloud, just bring back all your settings without wiping the new ROM ? I hope its clear what I am asking?

As nice as that is, since I have to pick one, I much prefer backing up to Google as I switch phones every few months(although I have a feeling I am keeping my one for a long time!).

Will either Google or HTC backup save text messages? Or is there a manual way to back text messages up?

How do you switch it to back up to HTC?? I'm on ATT and I don't see any other option.

I wonder why AT&T didn't include this app from the start? Even in the description, it says that HTC Backup is preinstalled on all HTC One's except for AT&T's.

But beware HTC backup doesn't cover everything. In particular it doesn't backup app data or ever some apps.
