First thing first, we need storage. Best way to do this is with a Google Business Account as it gives you unlimited online storage for $10 USD/m

Cloud Services: Link your Google Account here, make a remote folder otherwise the app will make a folder titled "ACRRecordings" which everything will be uploaded into
- WiFi only: Your choice, phone calls aren't that big in size, I tend to leave this off since I'd rather have records in the event my phone is stolen.
- Cloud Delete: No.
Backing up your phone:
1. Install ADB on your PC with Chocolatey for easy management.
2. Hook your phone up to your PC and enable Developer Options in android, go into the menu and enable USB Debugging.
Making an image of your phone which can be restored:
Open your commandline and run "adb backup -apk -shared -all -includekeyvalue"
You should be asked if you want to encrypt this, your choice.
Pull everything from your phone for full retention:
Open your commandline and do the following
Make your folder a convention that fits the phone model (I'm using a Note8) and date it according to ISO (YYYY-MM-DD).
mkdir Desktop\Note8_2018-06-21
Now we're going to pull all your data to that folder with
adb pull /sdcard/ Desktop\Note8_2018-06-21
[Optional]
Zipping the folder to save time uploading or to encrypt your files (install 7zip via choco for this one).
If we're sticking to the above conventions so far, just run the following for some gud compression m8.
cd Desktop
7z a -t7z Note8_2018-06-21.7z Note8_2018-06-21\*
7z t Note8_2018-06-21.7z
^^^ This pretty much grabs everything in the Note8 folder and adds it to a 7z archive with standard compression. Then we test the integrity of the archive, if you see "Everything is Ok" then you're good to upload that to Google Drive.
