Backup
You'll need adb for this. On Debian or Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
then you'll want to make a directory to back your files up to:
mkdir android-backup
cd into that directory, and start by backing up all your installed applications:
adb backup -all
and now you can also backup your internal sdcard:
adb pull /storage/sdcard0/ .
The above assumes you're in android-backup, otherwise replace the . with the directory you want to backup to.
