Methods for creating a backup

As mentioned earlier, there are several ways you can do a backup.

Through computer programs

You can easily make a backup using a computer program on the computer.

One of the advantages is the fact that the computer has more space.

Also, you can rest assured that your data is permanently protected as you are using additional media besides your phone.

If you back up your data on your computer, either a PC, a Mac or a Linux, you can be sure that you will not lose it in some way.

If, for example, your smartphone is stolen, you would at least still have your data.

This also applies to unforeseeable events, for example if your phone falls into water or comes into contact with liquid.

These are incidents that can happen at any time.

For backup, we recommend the MyPhoneExplorer program for Windows.

An advantage of this program is the fact that it is compatible with many brands and models of smartphones, like your Vivo X51.

We would like to mention again that this method is less suitable for backing up application data, but especially for transferring photos, videos, audio files, etc.

Via your Google account

This method is also shown in our chapters on backing up SMS, application data and contacts.

If you therefore want to save a certain type of data, it is also advisable to read the corresponding chapter.

One advantage of backing up your Google Account data is the ability to be able to access it from any device. If you use the cloud, you can save your photos and videos there.

By going to your Vivo X51’s settings, you can save your Wi-Fi passwords and other settings.

Click on “Backup and reset”. After, you can set up an account for the backup.

Normally, your Google account should already be set here. Click “Back up my data” to back up app data, passwords and other settings to your Google account.

Using apps

You can perform a full backup using the free “Swift Backup” and “Easy Backup” apps, as well as the paid “Swift Backup Pro” app. However, you need root privileges for both versions of Swift Backup. Most users will only need the free version.

These apps can back up any kind of data, be it call logs, messages, app data, bookmarks and files (like photos, videos, etc.). For more information about backing up using any of these apps, please see the “How to Back Up Application Data on Your Vivo X51” article.
