[QUOTE="Protomartyr, post: 888679, member: 82599"] I wish Android had a backup ability as seamless and effective as it is on iOS. I recently got a Pixel 3a XL. I love the phone. However, when setting it up, I encountered a bug where the built-in Backup option was stuck on "Waiting to backup". A common workaround is to disable all security on the phone and it [B]might[/B] proceed to backup. There was also another option where you could use ADB to trigger a backup manually. However I believe Google has depreciated that ability. So now I'm stuck without an online backup option currently. It seems this is a common bug for many phones across different manufacturers: Sources: [url=https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/13/android-backups-to-google-drive-have-been-disabled-on-many-phones-for-months-no-proper-fix-in-sight/]1[/url] | [url=https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/1520722?hl=en]2[/url] | [url=https://support.google.com/drive/thread/9174831?hl=en]3[/url] As others have mentioned in the thread, there's no reliable way to make a full backup of everything for an Android phone unless you have root.
