Backup Android phone

Without root

This creates a backup.ab file with all (?) data (but is encrypted if your device is encrypted):

adb backup -apk -shared -all  backup-nexus7

Alternatively, use AirDroid

Restoring Backup

Galery

After restoring the images in DCIM, you may need to remove the /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.gallery3d (Android 4.2.1). alensiljak notes that on older Androids, remove com.cooliris.media
