Back up Android media to your computer in the Memora Keep client on Windows

Why it matters

The problems this solves

How this feature helps you keep and use your phone data.

  • The phone runs out of space

    Photos and videos pile up on the phone until there is no room left for the next one.

  • Your memories live on one device

    If your phone holds the only copy, losing or damaging it can put those photos and videos at risk.

  • Choose what to copy

    Choose the media types you need and check their estimated size before copying them to your computer.

  2. 2

    Check the size first

FAQ

Back up Android media to your computer questions

Can I back up only some of the categories?

Yes. Photos, videos, audio and documents are selectable by type, so you can copy only the ones you want.

Can I see the size before the backup starts?

Yes. The size is estimated before the backup, and progress is shown while it runs.

Can I stop a backup that is already running?

Yes. The backup can be canceled while it is in progress.

Is Android WhatsApp covered by this backup?

No. WhatsApp on Android is backed up through a separate flow that supports WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business, and it is not part of the media backup.
