Google has finally advanced the high-end mobile market with Pixel and Pixel XL, which were announced at a press event on October 4, 2016 and serve as a Google launch device for Android 7.1 Nougat. These two phones are the first smartphones in the Google Pixel series. While Pixel phones are still pretty high, it's worth trying this gadget as a competitor against Apple and Samsung. No worries, you can also easily transfer Samsung / iPhone data to Pixel phones. Moreover, you should attach importance to the backup of Google Pixel and Pixel XL. Data loss is unpredictable misery, but preparation avoids it. Now we present to you how to backup Google Pixel phones..
Way 1: Make a backup with the Google account
As a phone made by Google, this means that it benefits from powerful software support from Google, for example, a backup and restore function. You can make unlimited backup for data like Google Calendar, Google Contacts and Photos & Videos with full original quality (that's really great) and limited backup (25MB) for apps and app data , Call history, Device settings and Message text (only SMS available). Best of all, you can turn on auto backup for Pixel phones and don't worry about forgetting to make a backup.
Before making a backup, you must add a backup account. If you have already configured it, skip this section. Go to “ Settings ”> “ Personal ”> “ Backup & reset ”> “ Device backup ” or “ Photo backup ”. Then tap on “ Backup Account ” and select “ Add Account ”. You can also modify a backup account in this part..
How do I activate automatic backup?
Step 1. Open the “ Settings ” app on your device.
Step 2. Select “ Personal ” and choose “ Backup and reset ”..
Step 3. To back up data and settings, select “ Device Backup ”> “ Backup to Google Drive ”.
Step 4. To back up photos and videos, select “ Back up photos ”> “ Backup & sync ”.
Note that if you turn off automatic backup except photos and videos, contacts and calendar, the data will all be deleted.
Way 2: Backup All Data on Pixel Phones with Ease
Although Method 1 is workable, it has limited storage for some data and is not allowed to preview saved data. So, here is Android Data Recovery. It can restore lost data from Android as well as copy existing content to PC with ease. Cut the snapshot and see how it works.
