So here I have an application to introduce you with which will help you to take the backup of your data.
Make sure you have at least half an hour of time to set it up and understand properly what it can do for you.
This application works on Windows and Linux systems only as far as I know.

I am an embedded software engineer by profession and an advanced Android user who knows a little more than many out there. I work on creating and promoting GCam APK which is a modified APK done to get several extra features on the stock app in Android. Basically this is done using reverse engineering the original app file. I work on publishing about GCam APK Port, custom ROMs and some Linux how-to guides. I use this YouTube Blue APK and the NewPipe APK as a daily Youtube apps.
