If you regularly
switch devices
and have a need to back up your data, Virtual Backup 32 is a good tool to keep. Other similar apps include
Video Recovery
for media files and
E2PDF
for SMS and calls.
Keep your devices updated
Virtual Backup 32 offers a simple solution for
moving phone data
from one unit to another. Usually, switching to a new device is accompanied by a lot of time spent downloading apps and manually moving files, usually through the use of USB connectors or by using Bluetooth. This app, however, uses the modern Wi-Fi network connection for
faster data transfer
.
As an additional app, you’d barely notice it aside from its icon on your phone’s home screen because of its negligible
25 KB storage requirement
. Also, installing the app is quick and easy. However, as mentioned, you’ll need to have the app on both the source and the destination devices. One of them will run as the “
Backup
” device while the receiving end will be running the “
Restore
” option.
Regarding its ability to make backups, there are certain apps that
fail to fully transfer
their files between the devices. This mostly applies to games, with
user settings and game progress
for offline apps usually failing to some degree. There’s no telling what causes this failure because the app works well across
different OS versions and device models
. Still, these issues are uncommon and intermittent.
Mostly reliable data transfer app
Like most device utility apps, Virtual Backup 32 offers one thing and it’s good at it: transferring data from one device to another. It has
a small file size
that’s almost negligible and can move your data with
impressive speeds
. It’s still as good as any other backup application even if it requires a copy of the app on both devices, plus the intermittent data transfer failure.
