IMPORTANT NOTICE: 0 Backup is currentlydeprecated. It still works, but no active development will be done(not even to follow Android versions). This page will remainavailable for current users, but we strongly suggest not to installit unless you know what you are doing. If you need the features of0 Backup, you will probably like FolderSync, which provides almostall the features of 0 Backup and many more (although probably witha larger degree of complexity, since it does many more things).

The documents you have created with Documents To Go,Quick Office or any other office suite; the passwords you keepwithin KeePassDroid; the photographs and videos of your family; thequick notes you take with your favorite notes editor; all of themand many others live in your SD card, so most of your data lives inyour SD card. Back it up!
