When you upgrade to another Android device, it is surely important to restore all your data such as your contact list, text messages, photos, apps, ringtones, and settings. On devices running Android 2.2 Froyo or later, there is a built-in backup feature that stores some of your information on Google cloud servers.

To use this cloud storage, you can simply go to your Privacy Settings and enable the ‘Back up my data’ option, which will automatically back up your installed applications, your Wi-Fi settings, and even your wallpaper. With the ‘Automatic restore’ option, you can back up saved application data, such as game progress or app settings. These saved settings will automatically be applied as soon as you setup your Google account on your new phone.

Unfortunately, this feature is only available on devices with the ‘Google Experience’ branding and it actually doesn’t back up all your apps. To back up more, you can get MyBackup Pro ($4.99) from the Android Market or go for Titanium Backup if you have a rooted device. Get over to Gizmodo to read more about this backup solution.
