Restore data from a local backup
If you keep your personal data backed up locally, you will not have any trouble restoring it after a factory reset of your Android phone. Local backups can be created on a memory card, a pen drive, an external hard drive, or even on your PC. Creating a local backup is recommended for personal data like photos, videos, and documents like your IDs, books, and more. Stuff like chat history, contacts, and apps are more suited for an online backup. Here’s how you recover your data using a local backup after performing a factory reset on your Android smartphone. Step 1: Connect your Android phone to your PC or laptop using a USB cable. If you have created a local backup of your data on a pen drive or an external hard disk, make sure you copy it on your PC first. If the backup was created on a memory card, insert it on your smartphone and skip this step. Step 2: On your Android smartphone, go to Settings>Accounts and backup, and select ‘External storage transfer’.
Step 3: Locate the backup on your computer or memory card and click on ‘Restore’.

Firstly, you can automatically sync your data and update the backup, without needing to check on it every other week. Secondly, creating an online backup gets rid of the hassle of always plugging in an external storage device and backing data up manually. Here’s how you can recover your data from an online backup.

Step 2: Login using the Google Account in which you backed up all your data.
Step 3: While setting up your device, tap on the ‘Restore backup’ option.
