Backing up the Galaxy phone to a laptop can prove worthy when disaster strikes to make sure you don't lose anything if your device gets damaged, stolen, wiped or something catastrophic, Samsung has a built-in feature to copy files from Samsung to laptop for a backup. If you've had a Samsung smartphone for some time, it's likely that it's easily clogged up with valuable data that you can't afford to lose, especially if you're a power user: photos, contacts, documents, email message, etc.
