Android Apps with Stored Information - How to Backup?

londonman81

My HTC crashed today and in the restoration process I lost all my apps.

Some of them are easily re-loaded with no loss of function.

However, some of the apps contained information which I have subsequently lost.

For example, I had the 'Tasks' and 'Schedule Planner' apps.

The 'Tasks' app contained detailed lists which I now no longer have.

To stop this from happening again in future, is there any way to regularly (even auto?) back-up the information stored in these apps, to allow for quick and easy restoration in the event of a further crash??

Thank you

Ignore the above - I just found out (to my huge relief) that Tasks synchronises with Google Tasks, so it was saved on there, and simply by re-downloading the app it has re-synchronised with the saved information.

Phew!

Actually, there is one downer after all....

It seems only to have saved (on Google Tasks) a much older list of Tasks, not my most recent.

Does anyone know how to get the list auto-saved each time I edit it?

Thanks

I copy and paste any information I need to keep into an email from time to time and send it to myself! Sorry, don't have HTC so can't answer your question properly, just give my solution.

but the moral of this story is don't bother using apps that don't store data on the cloud

which is why I don't bother with address book, calander tasks or documents that aren't synched with the same on the cloud
