CM Backup - Safe,Cloud,Speedy for Android
Cheetah Mobile is the most user friendly storage system I've got. I have triple redundancy storage apps. I'm not taking any chances. I've been having problems with my Samsung Galaxy s6 mobile phone. I think it's starting to straighten out. Cheetah Mobile was the first storage app to pop up & remind me to back up my stuff. I just finished backing up, & it took me less than 5 minutes. Good work, guys! Keep it up!
Had lost my contacts, messages and call logs THREE times. They had my information in their entirety. Even Google did not backup them all. Just three things would make them a ten: 1. Backup memos. 2. Allow my SMS and MMS messages restored to my native messaging app AND NOT have CM be the default app 3. ANSWER/RESPOND TO CUSTOMER EMAILS! Other than these, fabulous app.
I used to get daily notifications to check in to get my points and a chance to earn more with R.P.S. but I been getting them once a month or one every 2 weeks! I just sent feed back and asked why this happened.backed all my stuff up, dont have any major problems except them telling me to check in. And I have the daily notifications on. This makes me kinda mad! I should have a ton of extra cloud space by now! They need to make it right n give me more free space. Its their fault. Thanks for fixing the BUGS
I've been using this for over a year now, and have successfully transfered the info from a GS3 to the GS5. So far I've not noticed any missing on my new phone. On the downside, I am not keen on the Rock, Paper, Scissors mini game. The concept is good, especially for getting extra space. But it isn't generous enough, so my extra space is very low. Improve/Update this area and I'll give 5 stars.
I use this app everyday. I love it, I do. But lately, and few other times in the past year, I've been having major issues with checking in and uploading my files to be saved to the cloud. So I would rate it 5 stars, but my experience has been so turbulent that I can't quite fully rate it. The app itself is great, when it works, which is usually, so for that I can't speak to ill of it either. Please look into and fix why the check in page might not load sometimes, and I will gladly rate 5 stars. Great app overall. Thx.
It's great keep everything safe. Change phones, pull it right up along with easy to restore pictures. And your "not for, or for" nudies and home porn. Safe as if it never happened We all know especially these guys. So feel safe snap off a few more. Pay attention to the one saying " I never" RIGHT
First of all app saves and restores SMS not MMS. So any picture in texts will not be restored to the new device. This app is SO easy to use and works perfectly. I was very skeptical at first but I'm very happy I choose this app to transfer my txt messages to my new phone (LgG3 to LgG4). It even restored the texts in order which was something I saw other apps fail to do. it also backed up all my contacts, phone logs, saved dictionary words in my message app. Super simple to use and highly reliable!!
Dropping to 1 star. Have spent months checking in daily to earn points to exchange for more space. 2 times now have been screwed 1600 points and not a dam bit of space in exchange. Why offer it if YOUR NOT GOING TO GIVE THE SPACE!!! Want 5 stars back ?? Then give me my 2 gigs you owe me.
As long as everything I've backed up stays where it's supposed to until I need it, this is the greatest app. I have a Moto G and when I switched to it from a different Motorola phone I was able to use Motorola Migrate to transfer all my data. Now if and when I switch to any other phone I know I will have everything ready to migrate over. How cool is that. Only problem now is, I have Google Drive, CM Cloud, Dropbox and I'm sure one or two more that I gotta remember so I know where all my stuff is at...lol
It is THE best backup for everything! I've been using it for almost a year and It still works like a champ! I thought I lost all my text messages, contacts, pictures and videos. I forgot i set it to backup automatically! CM Backup saved the day. Thanks CM! I only have one request: I use all your other products and I wish you would please combine everything into one app? Thanks again!
I paid for the upgraded 1000gb, been very disappointed with it so far. It doesn't backup video's of any kind. I think the regular, free back up works great as is. But if someone is willing to purchase the added space, let them have the added functionality of saving everything. Most back up App's offer enough free space to handle contact's, pics and sms, etc. There really isn't a reason to purchase extra space, if it can't be utilized. That being said, CM puts out some great products...just not this one.
Easy to use. Still haven't looked into it that closely. I may change my rating. Just wanted to get rid of the nag screen. 5gb isn't much when now we start talking TB. At least 32gb would be more standard these days for phones and tablets. It's not very intuitive and there are no settings. Such as not restoring items deleted from your phone and there isn't a way to view the cloud data.
I have changed my phone. Earlier i used to transfer just my photos n contacts with sharing apps but all msg n call lags gets vanished but by cm backup they r all saved in cloud n can be retrieved easily seriously i am thankful to cm backup team salute u guys
I was very happy with this app on my last Android device, so; I have installed again on my new device. Update 12/07/15: Have had this app for awhile now and I am very happy and content with it except, none of my photos are being backed up. There is 1, and it is of an intruder trying to access my phone. That's all. Everything is safely tucked away in storage should I lose my phone! Thank you for peace of mind..
I'm using a fairly new Note 3 and I do a lot of multitasking. The other apps CM makes allow me to, without rooting the phone, run smoother because they are set to shut off unnecessarily background running apps. Great Job, CM! :-) Update: still getting better. ...much better! Since the addition of cloud space along with some new settings, this is a MUST HAVE APP. Got It?!!!

Great for any/all carriers. Doesn't matter who your service is through. Would be much more useful if I could add other apps to cloud with important info to save as well, such as , Video's, Memos, Color Note, or other notepad apps. Video's are most important need to add. Thanks for fixing the Rock Paper Scissor. I love this App. Beats VZW back up IMO by miles. Except the video part but Im sure you will get there. Thanks all at CM. Add video and I promise a 5 star. Youre the best.
This is one time I feel like I want to leave a review. One of the rare times I can say that an app does exactly what it says it will. Every single of one of cheetas apps delivers. Never any issues. They are, solid, user friendly, non glitchy, real great apps...n it's all free! It's like cheeta actually cares about us, and our phones, lol. Kudos to all of cheetas devs,... N thanks,honestly.
Great new system app, backs up all you'd need in the cloud servers, keeping all data including photos is highly recommended in case of phone lost/stolen or system app crash before changing or upgrading to a fresh new phone, 5stars easy! !
So far so good. Getting more space each day. Just hope that when crunch day comes it delivers. Has stopped backing up photos since the 16th of April. Can find no reason for this. Disappointed.
Backs up as a whole file. Simple, easy & straightforward. The gigs of free cloud space is great, but only for CM Backup. But seriously, using this as a complement to VZWs & Super Backup cuz no app "does it all!" Initially had an "screen overlay" Marshmallow locked out CM Bkup issue, but figured that out. I'd recommend it! Thanks Cheetah!
[UPDATE 7/6/16] Can't view SMS Cloud items.. Says "Can't backup photos" which is totally off bc it's supposed to be messages, not photos. Last update was almost a year ago? Come on Cheetah Mobile...Step it up please. [UPDATE 10/24/16] Still having prob with viewing SMS backups. It COULD BE backing up successfully, but I can't view them in the cloud, so where are they going?? I've started using a separate app to backup my sms/text msgs ONLY.
I've only been using the app a week but so far so good. It's backed up all of my saved photos and messages that I don't want to lose. I also like that it keeps my contacts in case anything were to happen to my phone (it's deleted my contacts in the past). Give it a try!
I have been using this Backup/Restore app for about a year, and I have NOTHING bad to say about it! This is the ONLY (as far as I've seen) Backup/Restore app that allows you to backup EVERYTHING that's on your phone, except apps! The greatest part is that you get 5GB for FREE to backup to their cloud PLUS, if you "check-in" daily you get 5 chances to get more storage space for FREE by playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors"!
It is doing what you said it would do. Thanks CM!!
When my phone started to have problems and I had to do a factory reset, CM Backup was able to restore all of my names, numbers and pictures! Even my dictionary was restored which we all know takes forever for your phone to learn how you text! So easy to use and even has an automatic backup every night so you never really lose anything! Thank you so much CM Backup team!!!
I used to love this app due to its ability to restore my data before, but now I am not liking it anymore due to 1. The daily check-in notification turns itself off all the time and 2. Now when I click on check-in or on my profile, the page is blank white and never shows up no matter how long I wait. So now I can't earn space or see anything about my profile. What gives?!?
LOVE this app. My only complaint is that it doesn't allow me to sort the photographs I've already saved in the back up. I'd would be great if I could create separate folders for sorting the pics. It'd make searching for pics like personal pics, work pics, family pics, etc a lot easier. And if possible, save videos too.
This app is very useful and easy to use. I have all my photos b/u in case of any issues so they can easily be retrieved. The only thing that I can think of in regards to improvements would be that it allows you to b/u videos and my photos look extremely orange. Apart from this its a handy app to have
I LOVE ALL YOUR SERVICES. IT'S TRUSTWORTHY, FAST, KEEPS YOU INFORMED ABOUT YOUR SECURITY ON YOUR PHONE, TABLETS, ETC. GREAT JOB*****
Had to do factory reset. Typically loose texts and some contacts convert to previous information if I had made an update to it. Everything went well. Also gonna clear Verizon contacts since it duplicates sometimes 7-8 times and then use this to re establish. Thx CM
This app is very good for backing up contacts, SMS, calendar etc. Then why just one star? After a point it stopped backing up my bookmarks. I sent couple of emails to the support team and there was no reply. Also, there is no backup for the apps and the data we've in the apps.
I like the fact that it stores your photos and contacts, and you can locate them again at the website, very helpful. Remember guys to always make the destination of the website very clear because what would be the point on retrieving lost files if one does not know where to go to find them, besides that, it's really good.
Fix the multi delete for the cloud backups its been like this since its creation you need to change the whole app its broken and not working properly I've had to delete cloud contacts 1 at a time for yrs I've been doing this and you ppl haven't fixed it or even bothered fixing this also my contacts go missing eventually because its this app its also deleting my contacts at times forcing me to restore from cm backup lots
I absolutely love this app, it's allowed me to save over 3,000 pics. My phone misbehaves often and deletes things at will especially pictures (it's disappeared contacts too) but Cm cloud comes through to save the day! I wish the Clean Master app (2stars) did as well as the cloud but you've got my 5 stars on this one thanks again for saving my precious pics peeps at Cm xo!
Just switched phones and was looking for a way to move things that didn't transfer over with Google. Wow, in less than 5 minutes everything I needed (sms, call log, calendar) was backed up and restored. Fantastic app that works well and is easy to navigate. I'll be keeping this one!
I have tested the backup and restore functions. All is well except that the backup feature is not a proper one way sync. During backup, the tool just adds new contacts. If a contact is deleted from phone book, the same is not deleted from the cloud during the backup operation. This needs to be fixed. So while taking a backup, i have to first delete the complete data from cloud and then take backup so that the data matches exactly.
WHERE ARE ALL MY PICTURES, TEXTS AND CONTACTS THAT I SAVED ON THE CLOUD??? I HAD TO RESET MY PHONE AND TRUSTED THIS APP TO KEEP ALL MY THINGS THERE. NOTHING IS IN THE CLOUD WHEN I LOG BACK ON AFTER I RESET MY PHONE AND EVERYTHING IS MISSING!!!
I backed up everything on this app then I factory reset my phone. When I downloaded the app and signed in, it said I never backed up anything.

Everything in this app was very user friendly and straight forward. The only exception being that it was difficult to find out how to get my contacts on to my new phone after the initial startup and setup of my device. I would've found the app way more practical and user friendly if they made adding contacts/SMS'/calendar etc from the cloud to a device a lot easier to find as well as calling the process "SYNCING" rather than "RESTORE/RESTORING" which came across as having my info replaced by the clouds info
