Trend Micro Mobile Backup & Restore : Cloud Backup for Android

When I visited beautiful Cambodia for a vacation trip, I learned an important lesson about the importance of making backups regularly. I had lost my Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone somewhere in the Phnom Penh city. It must have slipped out of my jeans pocket. I had stored all my contacts, pictures and videos on it. Although I bought another cheap Android phone (luckily many affordable phones are available in Cambodia), but my important data was lost. Having learned my lesson, now I always use one or other backup programs to keep my data safely backed up on the cloud servers so that I can restore it easily in the case my phone is damaged or lost. These days I am using the Trend Micro Mobile Backup & Restore app in my Android smartphone to keep my data safe.

Trend Micro Mobile Backup & Restore can automatically backup all of your important data to its cloud servers. The backups can be created manually and can also be scheduled to allow data backup automatically. It can backup call logs, texts, contacts, calendar events, photos, music and videos.

You have to create a Trend Micro account before you can start the backup or restore operations. The account needs only your name, email address and password. After this you can proceed to creating your data backup from under the Backup section. You have to choose the items that you want to backup and then tap on the Start Backup button. It may take a long time depending on the number and size of files you are trying to backup.

Under the More section, you can manage your cloud storage, delete backups and buy more cloud space etc.
