Huawei HiSuite vs UrBackup

Huawei HiSuite lets users manage a HUAWEI device from a computer. It handles contacts, messages, pictures, videos, applications, and other data, and can manage files on internal storage and SD cards. Users can export files to a computer, import them to a phone, back up phone data to a computer, and transfer backed-up data to devices. HiSuite also offers mobile system upgrade and rollback functions. If a device's system crashes and it will not turn on, System Recovery can restore it to factory settings. Messaging functions include sending and receiving messages on a computer, exporting messages, and mass texting. Connecting requires enabling HDB, approving phone authorizations, and entering an eight-digit verification code; the HDB authorizations can later be revoked. HiSuite is free for Windows and Mac, but the Mac version supports only picture, video, and file management, plus backup and restore. Listed Windows requirements include Windows 7, 8.1, 10, or 11 in 32-bit or 64-bit editions, 500 MB of available disk space, and 1 GB of RAM.

UrBackup is backup software from UrBackup in Ulm, Germany, covering computers, mobile devices and servers. It runs on Android, Linux, macOS and Windows. The listed backup scope combines file and image backups, while restore modes are mixed. Ransomware protection is included. UrBackup core is AGPLv3+ open-source software with a self-hosted server for file and image backups; no price is listed for that plan. A free plan is available, with paid options from €15.50. The Change block tracking option for the UrBackup Client on Windows costs €15.50 a month, billed per client excluding VAT. It speeds incremental image and file backups, includes 2.x updates and works with UrBackup Server 2.x. A separate client for Microsoft Hyper-V 2016 or later backs up virtual-machine disks as images and restores those images to VHD or VHDX files.
