SMS Backup+
Backup Android SMS, MMS and call log to Gmail / Gcal / IMAP
This is a fork of the now-defunct Android backup tool SMS Backup. It uses Gmail/IMAP to perform SMS, MMS and call log backups over the network. It is important that you perform the first backup manually. SMS Backup+ needs to know whether you want to upload messages currently stored on your device or not. SMS Backup+ can also backup and restore your call logs. It stores all calls using a separate label (defaults to Call log, but can be changed in "Advanced settings"). If you wish you can set this to the same value as SMS, to make all backups use the same label. -

Mackup
Keep your application settings in sync
Back ups your application settings in a safe directory (e.g. Dropbox). Syncs your application settings among all your workstations. Restores your configuration on any fresh install in one command line. If you have Dropbox installed and want to use it to save your config files, that's super easy. On macOS, if you want an easy install, you can install Homebrew and initialize it with it. If not running macOS, or you don't like Homebrew, you can use pip. On Ubuntu, pip will install to the current user's home directory rather than system-wide. Because of this, when installing pip on Ubuntu you will need to run pip install with the --system flag as well (on other platforms this is not needed). By only tracking pure configuration files, it keeps the crap out of your freshly new installed workstation (no cache, temporary and locally specific files are transfered). Mackup makes setting up the environment easy and simple, saving time for your family, great ideas, and all the cool stuff you like.
