I've had some close calls with potential data loss and want to set up a reliable phone backup and restore system. What are the best practices for backing up smartphones? How often should backups be done, and what's the best method for ensuring I can recover from smartphone data loss recovery situations?

Phone backup and restore best practices: 1) Use both cloud and local backups, 2) Backup before every major update, 3) Test your restore process periodically, 4) Include app data in backups, 5) Keep multiple backup versions, 6) Encrypt sensitive backups. For smartphone data loss recovery to work, you need recent backups. I recommend weekly automatic backups for most users.
