In the first method using LG backup and restore features the data is backed up on internal storage or SD card. If you do not have SD card or do not have enough space on SD card or internal storage you cannot back up the data. In case of theft or hardware failure of your LG phone, you cannot restore the data. The LG Bridge software does not support all phones. Whereas MobileTrans-Backup is all-purpose tool to backup and restores all android and iOS phones. You can use to backup, restore data to and from the computer or any other mobile phone. Though MobileTrans is not free to use I would strongly recommend it for being faster, safer with lots of additional features. You can purchase MobileTrans full feature software with yearly or lifetime subscription and use it for unlimited times for up to 5 devices.
