I have been having a few issues with my Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 the last few days and was hoping to find a NON-Root way to backup my non-Google and non-default app data. I wasn't hopeful. Backups with Android can be deceiving. When you see 'Backup' what actually gets backed up is just the .apk file which is what you download from the Google Play Store. That doesn't do much good for all of the hard work you have put into advancing to high levels in Angry Birds, Fragger, Greedy Spiders #1 and #2 or whatever your favorite games are. I know Titanium does this but it requires root access and I don't care to root my device just to get a backup if I can avoid it.

A little SEARCHING and I soon found a few different non-root app backups that include the data within the apps. Most are not free and I didn't really like them anyway. Until I found Helium - App Sync and Backup. Helium is free and allows you to backup your non-default apps and the app data! You can also CHOOSE to save some space and just backup the app data. Just read through the instructions and you should have a reliable backup started in no time at all. You do have to install a desktop app if you are not rooted and it takes a few more steps without root but is simple and you are walked through the process with on-screen prompts. A true app data backup without root access!
