Back up is very important word in Android world. Specially for those who like to experiment with their devices. Fortunately, Android comes with some basic backup feature that will surely help you to recovery some part of your data.
Every Android device comes with Auto-Sync feature, which if activated, will automatically backup your Calendar and Contact details. These days Google Photo also offer unlimited backup for your media files (though you have to compromise some quality). This all means, if for some reason you erased your data, you just login to your gmail account (which you used to sync your data) and sync your data.
The next big thing could be your WhatsApp data. Fortunately, WhatsApp too comes with its very own backup feature (Settings > Chats > Chat Backup).
Beside all this important thing, there are few other thing we may like to backup such as Phone messages or app data. For those important need we do have some apps and utility that could help us out.
