"I have been using Google Pixel for a long time, and recently I wanted to back up Google Pixel. But I don't know what to do. So if you know, can you tell me how to back up and restore Google Pixel data?"

Of course, it is good! I will teach you how to back up and restore Google Pixel data in the following article.

Part 1. Introduction

The Google Pixel is the flagship brand of Google as they enter into the mobile phone business and this smartphone is one of the perfect options out there. As smartphones go, the technology that is behind the sleek exterior is quite cutting edge and can compete with some of the other competitors and known brands. Standing aside Samsung, Apple, and many others, Google has a steep hill to climb but coming from a strong tech giant doesn't exactly hurt their image and with the Google Pixel they are off to a great start.As the user above mentioned, despite the technology developing the way it is, backups are still important due to several reasons. We can depend on our phones and most of us do, it keeps us informed of what is happening and keeps us connected to friend and family. Many of us keep very important messages, videos, photos and much more on our phones, after all, where else should you keep it if not by your side?

We are still at the mercy of deleting the information by accident or at the heat of the moment for some of us, maybe even experiencing random errors when we reformat or even just go about our daily usage.To make things worse, it's also possible to experience data loss due to a damaged phone, so backing up your information properly is a must and having a place to be able to restore your information just as important as well.

As mentioned earlier, download and install it to a computer or laptop that has been connected to your Google Pixel before and won't experience any issues.

Activation will depend on the version of your operating system but it should not be too difficult either way. You will need to switch the "USB Debugging" mode in order to properly backup your Google Pixel.

Part 3. Google Account Backup

Now you have an active backup saved to your computer or laptop using FoneDog Toolkit. You also now have another option to keep your information backed up from your Google Pixel.For most Android phones, having a Google account to back up your information is pretty standard but just in case there are people still lost on the process, reading the next few steps will definitely shed some light on the subject. Assuming you do not have a Google account just yet, you can easily create one online and just make one up, you can dedicate that to backing up your information.As soon as you start up most Android phones, Google Pixel included, you will be asked if you want to tie in your Google account to the phone itself, which in turn backs up your information. Of course, being made by Google they made it easier to backup multiple files and options just as easily. There is even an automatic backup option that might be of interest to a lot of people, take these steps to enable to automated backup and not have to worry if your information is updated:
