How does one change where a contact is backed up to once it has been entered? I have some contacts that are to Google and others to Motorola Backup assistant and I don't see how to change once that contact has been entered. Any help would be appreciated.

I can't find a way to move from one to another. Recreate and delete the old. You could export and reimport via Google.com/contacts

Thanks. BTW, I was wondering what the heck is the "BEST" program to use to back up information like contacts, docs, etc in these phones. I do not like the Motorola offerings at all. If you have any good clues I sure would appreciate those. Thanks for your answer since I just could see no way to do this once a contact was entered.. Some of the simplest things these things should do that should be intutive just are not there. :-(

Contact backup is automatic as long as you use google. I keep my docs in cloud services so they are always backed up anyway. If I know I'm going to be without service, I will download and re sync later. I use google drive for DOCs but I also use Dropbox and Box for individual files. I have all three cloud services linked using ES File explorer and I can copy and paste for backup that way too.

I have been keeping an eye out for a sync tool that works with Dropbox or Box services, since apps aren't adding in the support.

Photos/videos are also backed up to google plus automatically.
