Sire, I have walked down this path several times before. At this stage I can not find a TOTAL backup solution for IOS devices. As for Android you can find several full/total backup solutions. >From a beered filled memory I think I have posted on them in the past, do we >have an archive of this group? Android studio springs to mind, and again from memory it is mostly accessable. Also platumn back also is good. Beers IC

On the subject of IOS devices, is there any way of a total backup of an IOS device and a total restore should anything go wrong? I don't use my IOS device that much which - in any case isn't all that spectacular in the IOS workd -, my device is an iPhone 6 and I've been offered better numerous times but the iPhone 6 will have to do me as all other models of IOS devices don't fit my Arcam Portable DAC but I'm waffling again. I ask the question regarding backup from a curious point of view more than anything else. By default Android devices only backup certain aspects such as contacts and other related data it seems. I have however just encountered one exception to this backup rule and that's my new Sony xPeria X-Performance phone which offers a range of complete backup and restore options on the phone. For example you can backup all the contents of the phone to the Cloud or - if you'd prefer - you can select another backup target such as an inserted SD card, a USB stick or backup to your PC or Mac with the Xperia backup/restore utilities available for download from the xPeria web site. These utilities are perfectly accessible given that they use a HTML Interface. So what happens when you restore a backup? Well I can trufully say that you'll be put back at the point where your phone was when the last backup was made, truly and absolutely. I've tried this myself so I know exactly what I'm talking about. I reset my phone and - after completing the setup process for the phone again - I restored a backup made from the PC and congratulations! everything I had on the phone - including speech settings etc- was on the device exactly as I left it when the device was backed up. I'm since repeated the procedure installing from a SD card and the Cloud, with the same results.
