Following are three compelling reasons for making time to backup a device.

Protection from Theft
Smartphones and other similar devices are stolen on a very regular basis. In fact, the FCC says that more than one million devices are swiped every single year. Losing your device is bad enough, but losing all your personal and work-related data on it as well can be devastating. Periodically backup your device in order to save yourself the time, hassle, and heartbreak of losing sentimental photos, phone numbers for important clients, and work-related projects you worked hard to complete.

Protection from Upgrades
Upgrading a device is a good idea; however, be aware that it can also cause you to lose important data. It is not uncommon for all personal data to be completely erased after the OS update. This is especially true for Android devices, but even iPhone device owners are advised to backup data before enabling an upgrade.

Protection from Yourself
It’s not just other people and programs you need to worry about. Many smartphone owners have lost or permanently damaged a device by dropping it in water, accidentally leaving it in a pants pocket and then throwing the pants in the washing machine, dropping the device on a hard surface, or leaving it in a child’s reach. While in some cases you can retrieve some of your personal data even if the device no longer works, this is not always the case. It is always better to be safe than sorry, so backup your device to make sure you can get ahold of your files while your phone is being repaired or replaced.

Those who want to protect important files will find that PSafe Total is perfect for the job. Backup your information, and then, in the event that your phone gets lost or stolen, use PSafe’s anti-theft feature to wipe all of your data from your phone remotely. This will prevent thieves from accessing your information. PSafe Total also offers Applock, a system that allows you to add second passwords to important apps, adding extra protection if your phone is lost or stolen.

<![CDATA[How to Backup Your Apps Easily with the Cloud]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/backup-apps-easily-cloud/ Tue, 06 Sep 2016 20:40:03 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=3440 One of the most convenient features of Android mobile devices is the ease with which apps can be synced in the cloud. With the cloud, you can align the apps across all of your devices. If you begin working on an email on your home PC, you can continue that email on your Android device from another location. If you don’t want to use a USB cable to transfer information between all of your devices, you can rely on cloud technology to keep your apps and files synced across devices and platforms.

The first step to seamlessly sync devices is to download all of your apps on each device. By doing this, you won’t need to replicate any information on multiple devices, and you won’t need to reconfigure the settings preferences for all your apps. With the cloud, all of these changes will sync automatically, saving you tons of time. Here is a guide to downloading apps across Android platforms.

The first step is to click “Settings” on your Android device’s home page. Next, click the “Backup and Reset” button. You will need to enter your PIN to access this page. It will likely be the same number used to unlock your phone. Now find the “Backup My Data” and “Automatic Restore” options. Switch these both to the green “On” position. Next, locate the “Backup Account” button and click it. Once in the “Back Up Account” page, find your account’s email address and click it. Now hit the “Back” button to return to the main setting screen. From here, find the “Accounts” button and choose your account’s address from the list.

You can now choose which apps to sync wirelessly with the cloud. Click everything you want to be backed up, including contacts, apps, and documents. After deciding which apps to backup, you can close out of “Preferences.” It would be wise to check your cloud account online to make sure that everything was successfully backed up.

If you want to store more of your important data on your Android phone, consider downloading PSafe Total and utilizing its Memory Booster feature. This handy tool provides your phone with enhanced memory and storage. With Memory Booster, PSafe Total optimizes your data and helps you discover the best ways to maximize your phone’s storage space.
