I find this funny. I just got a new S23 Ultra replacing my Note10+ and need to backup everything from the past 5 yrs from the Note. I have sooo much crap on it that I didn’t want to clutter my new phone with 😅 Thanks for a super helpful video!
Another thing you can do is dump the entire contents of your old phone like photos, videos on a computer, and copy over the rest of the stuff on to the new one, I usually do this.
Thanks! this is really useful. I am going to buy a flash drive to back up my Samsung s20+ as it is starting to get screen issues which are worrying me. This video is reassuring as it shows how easy it is to do. Thanks again!
DAMN, you saved me a TON and TON of headaches trying to transfer my files to an external HD and it was super fast. I even tried the frustrating Smart Switch app and still could not get it. I just transfered every single photo and video into my external HD and then onto my laptop.
EXCELLENT video, just the tech solution I've been looking for. Question: if I perform another backup, say a month later to the SAME USB-C Flash Drive, is the previous backup completely overwritten OR are only the newest files ("deltas") added to the existing backup? Thanks, F1
@Nezello Watching others' youtube videos, it appears a different 3rd alternative occurs. Multiple backups to the same thumb drive (or any external drive) are saved in a newly named folder(s). So, when restoring from a device that has multiple backups already saved on it, you would then have a choice of which data folder to restore from.
This is a good video with a clear explanation. It certainly looks like transferring all the internal storage, settings and apps would be easy when buying a new phone. However, this does not explain backing up the SD card. I suspect that most people store their photos, music etc. on the SD card and not on internal storage. Can I assume that backing up the SD card cannot be done with this method - direct to a USB drive? You need to copy the SD card files to another storage device and then paste the files onto a new SD card (or just put the SD card from the old phone into a new phone). Thank you for the video
If your phone has an SD card slot, you will see an option to include the files on the SD card. The phone I used to demonstrate doesn't have an SD card slot, so the option isn't there. But if you are transferring everything to a new phone, I would suggest using Samsung's Smart Switch app. It's way more streamlined and does not require a USB drive, I have a video on it: ua-cam.com/video/f2XTifoo1So/v-deo.html
Yes! absolutely, you can delete them off your phone after taking a backup they will be safe on the USB drive. BUT, if you are taking a backup just to free up space on your phone, then I'd recommend copying the photos and videos from your phone to a computer and then deleting them off your phone, that way you can view them whenever you want.
Hi i have a question, when you back up everything, are the Files (example: files, documents, installer files,compressed file, folders) in "My Files" or "File Manager" app saved? Or only the videos and photos? Thx
Hello! & BIG THANK YOU! I'm getting a new phone & finally trying out an iPhone 13 to see what all the fuss is about and quiet my curiosity. We'll see how it goes Lol A huge anxiety I've had is backing up my photos/videos mostly because I haven't updated the os & am somehow running my Samsung Galaxy S7 on the 7.0 version😰! I knoww. I know lol. My phone is on it's last breath & I've been pushing my luck. I've had a fear of trying to update the os now because it may not work & I'll lose the contents stored on my phone or something Weird will happen. Thanks to you & your video, I know what to do now. Your instructions are great & your warm tone of voice, along with your positive encouraging energy has calmed & reassured me. I can do this! It's gonna be Ok. lol Anyhow, Thanks again I was really stressed out! I appreciate all of your help 😄 ❤🤓

AGAIN I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT TO HELP PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF AND MY WIFE MAY YOU HAVE A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR........
Probably Charlie couldn't see your question among several notifications he may get. And I see the question was asked a while ago and you probably figured it by now. But if you haven't, yes it should work the same way as instructed in the video.
Very well explained kept very plain n simple to the point step by step, I would like you to explain same for s8 trans fer to s10 tab including notepad notes, Thanks
Hi, I am an old folk & not very tech savvy. Can u explain how do we regularly back up the content of the phone. Do we use the same USB & plug it into the phone in the same way we do it the 1st time? Then does that mean that what was transferred to the USB the 1st time gets override & the new content now takes over. So if we have deleted some phones from the phone to clear up storage, when we backup the phone with the USB the 2nd time , Will we then lose some of the contents that were originally transferred or backed up into the USB previously but is now not on the phone storage? Please advise. Thank you.
My new iPhone 15 stopped working in only two months due to major fault in the phone. I lost all everything. Please let me know how to back up on iPhone 15.
My A54 would not see the USB 128Gb. I had to plug into PC with Win11. Change the USB size to 4GB only. Then plug the USB into Android A54. Go to Storage and the USB could be formated to FAT32 with 128GB using Android. It works.
Thanks, I learned a lot on this one and it worked for me the first time. Can multiple backups be put onto one flash drive (without overwriting existing backups)?
hi, thanks so much for this super helpful video! can i ask if all messages & media files of whatsapp business will be backup as well? assuming I'm not using google drive but am storing whatsapp messages on the local storage of my phone... thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏
Hiii I'm from your sub & appreciate the your videos . And Have Question can you store your important phone datas in flash drive and keep the flash drive with you for 2 or 3 or 4 years, i mean if the phone stolen & backup without viruses came in it (summary: how to keep your flash drive away from viruses) And thank you for your hard work
There is an on-device backup option, but I have never got it to work successfully, I always back everything up to google drive, you can encrypt it if you'd like.
Worked well to back up Samsung to flash drive. I also uploaded flash drive to PC. Charlie's video states you have to sign on to Samsung to decrypt to see files but I could not figure out a way to do this since Samsung app is only on my phone and not on my PC. Any suggestions?
Can you do updates to the orig backup, or do you have to do another complete backup going forward? Then you probably need to delete old backups to have enough room for future ones.
This an awesome video. The first one I clicked on, on the subject. I was looking up a way I could making a physical backup of mainly my videos as I use my phone as my video camera for my UA-cam channel.
Thank you!! But if you want to take a backup of only your videos, then try using the built-in file manager to transfer the videos to a USB drive, its easier and also readable on a PC/TV/Media Player.
Thank you for this and all your other informative videos I've used over the years. When I do the next back up on the same USB drive will it overwrite the original, add a total new backup or just update the files that have changed? You may have addressed that on the video but I did not notice. Thank you.
@@TechGuyCharlie That is good to know, thank you for clarifying. I agree as even free backup software include incremental backups so Samsung could probably tweak it easy enough :-)
@TechGuyCharlie Incremental backup of new or changed files only ("Deltas") is CPU intensive and will take MUCH longer to complete. Straight I/O copy depicted in your video is fastest. For additional safeguarding of data, best to use a rotation of several USB-C thumb drives instead of constantly overwriting one thumb drive.
@@Fearless-1That is the one thing missing from Charlie's otherwise comprehensive and concise excellent explanation, the fact that the subsequent back ups overwrite on a USB flash drive and the best way to do a true grandfather, father, son backup is to use multiple flashdrives.
@user-pj4nt9gs6i Its been a couple months ago when I last looked at this subject matter. I think I learned (but have not personally tested yet), additional backups create NEW backup files. The previous backup files will have a different name and therefore, not overwritten. So, when booting up a (new) phone from a backup USB, I think you have the option of picking the backup file to restore from. So, the optimal backup strategy would be multiple backup files spread over multiple USB (or external hard drives).
Just repeat the process and delete older backups to free up space. There is no way to backup only updates. You hsve to either backup everything or only parts you select.
Hi there. Will this backup work on all the files from my old Samsung phone (both internal storage contents + micro sd card storage contents) and transfer them to a newer Samsung phone (with internal storage only)? Your kind advice would be appreciated 😊👍
Yes it will, I've transferred a backup from my old S9+ to a newer S23 Ultra without any issues. Contents of the SD card will be saved to the internal memory of the new phone.
I saw it also allowed something to happen with WhatsApp. I assume once WhatsApp databases have been copied, that it probably wont work until you remove the phone sim from original phone and then insert into the 2nd phone?
Does it transfer all the individual ringtone and specific notifications for all your contacts too? Smart switch didn't and it's a pain to all setup again.
Hey i have an samsung m11 which doesn't support samsung smart switch. Im trying to transfer to my new samsung s23. Can i use my pc like i transfer all items to pc then i connect new phone and transfer to that one. Is it same or different. Can u plz explain plz
You can, but I could not figure out how to transfer accounts, contacts and settings through the PC method, but you can copy over pretty much everything else like photos, videos, music through your PC. Connect your M11 copy over contents of the internal memory on to your PC, once its done, connect your S23 and dump the copied files of your M11 on to your new S23.
all i want to do is move media clips from my phone that i don't want to delete but want to keep & move them onto a usb device to free up space, can you recommend a SSD flash drive and adapter to use?
I am trying to USB backup a Samsung in preparation for rooting. How am I supposed to do this if I need account credentials. The "phone" has no service provider, I brought it from Target-- only use is as a personal wifi device (do things like browse UA-cam, check email, listen to playlists). The only access codes I have are my Gmail password and the lock screen code i'm just backing it up in case rooting goes wrong and I need to restore the phone.
He mentions that you sign into your Samsung account, but I don't have a Samsung account. Do you know how I would proceed? I got my phone directly from T-Mobile.
I have s10e and have a flash drive that has a regular USB on 1 side and smaller on the other side but it's not small enough. I watched these videos and 1 said to get the usb c to usb otg adapter. I did and it still doesn't work. It fits loosely. What kind of adapter do I need?
Not a savvy user. How can I check to see what Samsung account I used on the phone before I encrypt the data? I found out how to change the passsword.. thank you
Hey Charlie can you make a video about when to replace thermal of hp pavillion gaming laptop I have exactly same specs that you have It has been 1.7 years old Considering the heat wave in India When should I change the factory applied paste Also I have thermal grizzly cryonuat
Hey, I would not advise to replace thermal paste before 3 years, some of the OEM pastes last even longer, clean the heatsinks and the fans and you're good to go. I will definitely make a video in the future on how to do it. 😊
@@TechGuyCharlie Thank you Charlie you are the best Love from India Check if you can make the video fast because I already have one And was worried about shelf life
This is a Samsung only feature, you can take a backup on Samsung and restore it on the same or another Samsung smartphone! Similarly OnePlus will have its own backup feature.
Hey, i backed up my phone on samsung cloud. Happend my phone dropped snd stoped working. Restored data to tablet but i got only app new installed but i need to relog everywhere. What is the point of cloud back up if i dont have complete data,what to do?

Then just backup files. For me my files( pdf amd docx) and important, as apps can be downloaded from playstore.
I changed from S7 edge to S24 recently, backed up to PC, and then individually deleted files i don't need. And restored rest to my new device
😂 I have a note 10 and finally upgrading to a s23 ultra and looked up. I have to order a new flashdrive to do this.
Thank you ! this video was perfect for me to back up my Samsung phone that had 3 years of photos on it

I have exactly same specs that you have
It has been 1.7 years old
Considering the heat wave in India
When should I change the factory applied paste
Also I have thermal grizzly cryonuat
Hey, I would not advise to replace thermal paste before 3 years, some of the OEM pastes last even longer, clean the heatsinks and the fans and you're good to go. I will definitely make a video in the future on how to do it. 😊
@@TechGuyCharlie Thank you Charlie you are the best
Love from India
Check if you can make the video fast because I already have one
And was worried about shelf life
Will this work Samsung and one plus phones? Thanks.
This is a Samsung only feature, you can take a backup on Samsung and restore it on the same or another Samsung smartphone! Similarly OnePlus will have its own backup feature.
But how to transfer
" downloads" alone? Is option available?
