Part 1: Back Up Your Android Device
Initiate the process by launching Dr.Fone on your computer and continuing to connect your Android device with it. Navigate to the My Backup > Back Up Now.
Before you continue with the backup process, you will have to execute an operation guided by the platform. To back up text messages on your Android device, you will have to open the Dr.Fone Link app and set it as your default SMS application. You can also try working through your device's Settings for this purpose. Click OK once you’ve performed this task.
The backup process will automatically start, with a progress bar showing the completion of the backup.
Once the backup is about to complete, another prompt appears on the platform asking you to set the default SMS application for your Android. For that, open the SMS app on your Android device and set the default application. Click OK after you’ve completed the process. If you wish to ignore the process and avoid backing up text messages, tap Cancel.
As the backup is completed, it will be displayed in the window for the user. To view the backup in the location of your PC, click Open in Folder. For viewing all backups made across the platform, select View Backups.

View the backup file, and if you wish to restore it, choose the data that is to be restored and click Restore to Device on the bottom of the screen. Or you can also choose "Export to PC" to save the data to your computer.
A window opens which shows the list of data that can and cannot be restored to the connected smartphone.
