How to back up your contacts, messages,apps on Android

                Many a times it is needed to have all our contacts and messages and other details backed up,
If you are crazy about trying new CUSTOM ROMS on your android you will sure gonna need this.
Here is how you can get all your necessary files backed up and use it later.

1. Backing up Contacts.:-
                 The most easiest way to back up your all contacts on an Android phone is to export them to a
".vcf" file and store it to sd card. Though there are several applications available which takes back up of your contacts very nicely so far this is the best way to have your all contacts in a single place. you can also view this ".vcf" file on your computer and edit it. The other option to back up your contacts is to sync them with
your Google account.


2. Backing up Messages:-
                   Not all but few people need their messages to be backed up for various reasons, for those there is the simplest
ever app available in android named ad SMS back up and restore you can get it here. What it does is
it gets all your messages lined up in a xml file and store it to SD Card. There are few other apps available
for the same task but so far this one is better.

3.Backing up your Apps:-
                   This is the most critical need for the users who switches from one ROM to another OR from one Android device to another. Though we have all our apps listed on our Google play store, downloading all of them again at a point of time sounds annoying. If you have root access this is very simple task just get the back up of /data/data/apps folder and you are done. Even if you don't have root access no need to worry there are few apps in Play store entirely designated to manage apps.
                    I do prefer ROM TOOLBOX to do all the apps related data, It contains a dedicated app manager which handles all the applications very well you can refer to my earlier post which describes the
usefulness of this application.
