Formatting your Android smartphone will be a big headache for most of us. The main reason will be our Contacts. Although, Google contact sync is available for all and will be an automated method. Most of the android users are unaware of this and which was disabled for them. Because of all these problems, people find it difficult to format their Smartphones when it is required.
In this case, we can use a Cloud Service using an application named CM Backup. It is a free cloud backup & restores tool developed by Clean Master’s sister team: Cheetah Mobile. They are providing us a free 5GB of your own personal cloud storage. Just download the application from Google Play Store and create a free account. Then, you can see all the items in the dashboard, and you can take the backup, such as Contacts, SMS, Call Logs, Calendar, etc.
Update: CM Backup is discontinued, so i recommend to use Super Back up and Restore for all your backup and Restore
Click on the required item and take the backup of all of them quickly. Then, after formatting your phone, reinstall the application and log on to the CM Backup application and restore all the previously taken backups.
