Samsung Kies backup

[Uboatfreak]

My Samsung S5 broke down and I did a backup of it using Samsung Kies 3 before sending it for repairs. My phone had about 7 gigabytes of data, excluding android files. Photos, videos, settings, apps,etc. . Now my question is why when i go to the backup location on my PC the total backup is only 3 gigabytes. Should i worry, was the backup not completely successful, are they compressed?


Also, if i checked the box to backup all apps, does it also backup Whatsapp mesages?

Thank you in advance!

One of the issues I recalled from Kies was that it wouldn't backup files (like pictures) on external memory. Are you sure you saved all of your pictures?

I wouldnt know, since I got my phone fixed without the memory being wiped out, so i just deleted that backup since i did not need it anymore.

Sorry for the late reply, but I havent loged in to this site in a while. Anyway, thanks for the help!
