Quick contest: Win one of 20 Carbon (backup) unlock codes

By Jerry Hildenbrand  | Feb 06 2013 | 7:53 pm  | 1187 Comments

Carbon backup

Carbon (the backup app) is a kick ass way to backup and restore apps and their precious data on your Android phone or tablet. It's simple, looks great, works even better, and doesn't need root or any fancy hocus-pocus to get it to work. We think it's the way Google should have done it. The free version works great, backing up all your data to the device, but the premium version takes things a step further by placing all your data in your Dropbox, Google Drive, or Box.net account. Yay the cloud!

There's one thing that could make it better, and that's getting a free Carbon Premium code. Koush hooked us up with 20 of them to give away, and here's your chance. Comment on this post, telling everyone what data you need to back up, and sometime after midnight (Eastern time) we'll pick 20 winners. No muss, no fuss.

If you're not sure because you haven't tried Carbon backup just yet, now is the time. Hit the Google Play link above and see why everyone is loving this one.

I need to back up everything as I have to do a factory reset of my Galaxy Nexus as it seems to be throwing a wobbly!

I have the free version installed but can't update it (I am getting the "Error receiving information from server [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]" message and the suggested fixes in the forums aren't working so factory reset is called for)

Shibby513 says:

I thought about getting Titanium Backup but it's entirely too complicated. If this is easier I think I'd like to try it. I have music, school pdf's and .doc's, and pictures but it's mostly the documents I'm concerned about having access to no matter what so I moved them to the sdcard. The apps are what take the longest and I don't always have the best wifi to redownload them so this would be perfect.

cbombaz says:

Amazing app, Would love to be able to fill in the missing link of being able sync my games to my tablet and vise versa.

munkyhead86 says:

dessa says:

I use Carbon to back up current apps data for restore after burning a new ROM. I usr Ti Backup and My Backup nightly/weekly, but they hold old uninstalled apps.
Carbon is quick and simple; just what you want pre burn.

And yes, I am paranoid about data loss! Aren't you? After all, there are only 2 kinds of device users - those that have lost data and those that will lose data. And that reduces to those that will lose data!

willsemi says:

I really like one because is very dissapointing to play every game again and losse all my data when I update my cell, i would love to try this app specially the cloud backup. Thanks

I want to backup all my apps, app data, and settings to the cloud before I reset my Rezound to factory settings... again. Such a hassle to re-download everything, but re-configuring is worse.
Thanks!

FIDLAR says:

I have a serious case of flashing numbers of roms, mostly to give back feedback and help out people, and would like a carbon code to backup all my data to my DropBox so I can better manage it. I use the free version of Titanium Backup and you already know how long it takes to restore app+data and also takes too much space on my sd card..would love to receive a code from you guys to make flashing roms easier and therefore keep on helping the XDA community :D

longebane says:

I'd like to backup my apps and data because I frequently test and develop roms and format often.

nnavinraj says:

I flash like 2-3 ROM's a week. If I have to backup all the data and restore it and resinstall all the apps I might as well not flash new ROM at all. Carbon Backup gives me that functionality. Its better than titanium backup in that it doesn't require root and also it does only thing and does that perfectly!

radixe says:

I backup all my apps and data to the storage card usually. Downloading them all over again from the supposedly backup from google is just too unreliable and painfully slow over my current internet connection

ShinKen says:

Thanks android central!

Raadius says:

Ill just be honest, I really want this app but cant afford it. Plus my phone bill is past due, and I owe AT&T like $250.

BUT I really want this app, it works over WIFI? Sense I probably wont have a data connection to use it :/

backup games and pictures for my son and nephew so its on all of my devices.

p4r4n01d says:

I would use Carbon to backup all my game save data (I'm very paranoid about loosing it). I don't want what happened with Cut the Rope to happen again where I lost all the save data after I had to hand the phone back. From 100% complete to nothing as I couldn't backup the save data without root. With Carbon, that need never happen again.

doomstang says:

Damn I want one...I'm always needing to backup and restore stuff

Aw crap hope I'm not too late.

imtravis says:

I'd love one so I could back up my Porn.. I mean my important data, such as pics, and documents.

Raul Pimentel says:

I use Titanium Backup, but I honestly find this app superior for the following reasons:

1. It allows me to back up just the app data.
2. It allows me to create groups. This is especially useful as I'll mention later on.
3. The cloud backup allows me to sync apps and data to other Android devices.

Ok, so why are all three important to me? I'm about to become a full fledged reviewer for a tech site. That means I'll be using different Android devices from time to time. The Cloud Syncing feature allows me to quickly set up review units to my needs. The Apps Group allows me to pick which apps I want synced based on my personal phone to be used for the review. And the fact that I only backup the data means that my Google Drive won't fill up anytime soon. But the best thing is that I don't need to root the review units to be able to do all these! This is an absolute Godsend! I only have the free version installed at the moment. I'm still waiting for the review units to be delivered to me. I absolutely NEED the unlock code to Pro :-)

Teddy Duchamp says:

I would love to be able to back up my photos, documents and all my coding material. Automatically would also be brilliant because it can take a while and having time is not always easy.

For backing up my photos and Ebooks!

shlomo99 says:

I hope the app can backup "everything" - like a nandroid backup - not just data, pictures and apps that are really easy to backup with many backup apps out there or just by copying over WiFi to my PC.

thefivetheory says:

Pretty much everything! This is what Android has been missing.

debsawyer says:

Please, pretty please!

SteveCr48 says:

I need to backup sms and logs

smmate3 says:

I would love to backup all my apps in one place in the cloud so I can access them anytime I want instead of messing with an sd card and switching it between different phones. Such a pain. But this app would be perfect for me.

Mike A1 says:

It would just be nice to be able to transfer data from phone to tablet and have a safe storage of everything, the amount of times i had to do the first few levels of angrybirds is getting ridiculous and i never seem to move from there. also having the ability to transfer stuff from phone to phone(change my phone at least 2 times a year) and phone to tablet(streamline my data) would be amazing.

ErickMendez says:

id like one

mugurelu says:

I'm a hard time gamer and a "medium time" flasher of new roms.
This app allows to save in the cloud games data, apps data, different customizations, uccw projects, all that I could possibly desire.
It is great!
Sure hope to win one license. If not I'll sure be buying one!

Yell0w says:

Need it for all my games.

I don't really have anything special to back up except for app data. Using the cloud part would be AWESOME :)

Bonics says:

I backup almost everything! App settings and don't forget About the game progresses. Messages, pictures and videos!

Backing up NFS MW is vital for me as I have to hard reset my tablet ASAP.

JillB says:

DevilInPgh says:

Probably too late, but I'm gonna comment anyways.

I'm planning on changing providers in June (sayonara Sprint, hi once again Verizon), and with changing providers comes changing phones. I sure don't want to lose all my progress on a lot of games (Where's My Water, Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds), because it's no fun going through all the levels again, being that's why I haven't played some of these games in a while to get back to my progress. Also, I don't want to manually re-enter all the login info for apps like Stitcher and TuneIn.

Mrtax says:

I'd especially like to backup all of my pics! :-)

Droneous says:

I'd like to have an unlock code because I often flash roms, and lose all the game saves. Well, with Carbon I could finally finish a game!

Wildyc says:

I would like to backup Apps data that is missing on the builtin Android OS, such as SMS/MMS, apps/games data/saves, especially those data sitting on the non accessible (without root) partition, so it can be restored on another devices easily. One less reason to root.

muddyjch says:

Pick me

sats0101 says:

I like to flash new ROMs and MODs but since my S2 is equipped with THE SUPER BRICK BUG, I am very much skeptical to use Nandroid Backup and all.

I recently bought a new nexus.It's my first android device and I really have much fun with it after owning an iPhone for almost 3 years. My only gripe is, that I have a constant fear of losing my data and pictures. Since I am not that tech savvy,I am not familiar with the new cloud services.a convenient method of backing up my data sure sounds like a relief. Sorry for the typos...I'm from Germany :) good luck y'all

nsumner says:

I back up app data (not apps)
&SMSes.

I have My Backup Pro (biggest waste ever), and Titanium (well worth the price). Would be interesting to see how this compares...

uploadpf says:

More simple than Titanium! I would love one free copy :)

aesopn says:

I need to back up my game save

stjom says:

I own several android devices. Depending on the availability (whether physically, battery-related or whatnot), I need to have the same settings setup for my applications and games -- ESPECIALLY GAMES. I want to be able to pickup where I last left off from a different device towards with what I'm currently holding. With regards with applications, tweaking different applications for different devices is always a pain. That's why "setup once and apply to all devices" via carbon backup really saves my day.

shavedbg says:

i want a code to back up all my data - music, pictures, games, SMS, etc. thank in advance! :-)

It's pretty great for the avid custom rom installers. with this, backups are much more simplified....besides it looks great

I'd especially like to backup all the apps configuration as I spend quite some time setting up a device.

A Backup of all my photos would be nice, too.

Claude Dsouza says:

Hi, I'd really need to use Carbon because I've been using the same phone for 2 years and I'd lose my mind if I lost all the family and friend pictures I have,the crucial contacts stored that make my freelance career possible and the tiny, numerous customizations I've made to my various screens,widgets,games and apps.

Doug Nichols says:
