Root is not required can easily backup application data: Helium

Usually we have to upgrade the system, before root, are used to back up what applications and data. In general, most custom ROM comes with tools to easily backup applications and their data, but the recovery is also limited to using the same ROM; if I want to root, for example, replaced AOSP-based ROM, then these data can be backed up no use, and the famous “titanium backup” can solve this problem, but if you want easy to use it to back up and restore data, you must obtain Root privileges.

But from now, many of the features without having Root on Android can also be achieved, which greatly reduces the need for Root of players; on the other hand, after a security risk Root is still a controversial topic people.

However, Clockworkmod early in 2013 on the release of this Helium backup application, it can use the system comes with the Android desktop function Root-free backup application and its data.

Helium backup tool checks every time you open Root privileges, which determines what the state under Helium start work. Helium operation no difficulty, support cloud backup and synchronization between the phone (this feature requires purchase Advanced Edition). Having a list of applications interface, slide up from the bottom can be opened more options. Where “App Data Only”, it means to open back up only the application data, and application ontology will need to download it again. While this can significantly reduce the backup file size, but does not restore the data once the network, it may delay things.

Helium has a menu in a PC Download function, the function form similar Airdroid, we can end on a computer over the wireless network control Helium for backup and recovery. Note that this is not no Root backup, but a remote control function, do not be confused.

Helium compared with titanium backup, backup faster, but in the absence of Root phones, Helium significantly better than titanium backup. If you do not pursue titanium backup in a more powerful feature that allows Helium instead of the titanium backup.
