How to backup android apps

Well people often face situations when they have to reset their phones due to many reasons(viruses,lags etc). But often they are caught in the dilemma of how can they backup their original apk files into their memory cards so that they do not lose their important games or applications. Let me make it a bit simple for you. When you reset your phone you just lose your downloaded android games and applications. I am going to tell you an amazing way to save your money, time and internet data. Just follow the following steps.

Step 1

Move all your downloaded applications in the SD card.(For applications that you can not move to SD card just do not use them, find alternatives. Developers must ensure that their apps should be movable to SD card)

Step 2

Now download this magical File Manager.I found it on the Google android market.
File Manager

Step 3

Install and move this File manager too on the memory card, so that you can take its backup also.

Step 4

Open the newly installed file manager. It should be having a yellow folder icon. See the screenshots.

Step 5

Touch the green "Up" button which is next to HOME button in the app.

Step 6

Now touch the "asec" folder.

Step 7

Now you could see the package names of the applications that you have installed from anywhere. Just touch/click the "Multi" button to select multiple folders. COPY them and PASTE them to your SD card. And yayeeee!! now you can reset your phones.
