Backup data to a computer or thumb drive

Are there any Verizon smartphones that can be backed up without using the cloud? Bluetooth or with a patch cord. Download directly to jump drive? NOT THE CLOUD.

I tried all this morning to get a backup of my phone.  It turns out that you can export your contacts and then move the exported file to a PC over USB -- and then back to the phone to import as a restore.  But it's not so easy to move SMS messages, apps, photos and other stuff you need to backup because the SMS app (for example) does not have an import/export feature.  I was trying to avoid using third party software but failed at that attempt.  It's probably part of the vast mobile phone conspiracy 😉  Anyway, I ended up using MobileGo [OFFICIAL] Wondershare MobileGo: Super Mobile Toolbox.  You can backup your phone with the 14-day trial version, but have to pay for the restore feature.  I just used the trial version so far and got apparently good backups (the process completed without error) on my PC (no cloud).  There are a few other features that are pretty cool as well.  And it claims to work with any android or IOS phone.  Might be worth a shot.

good luck.

My device is a Droid X. I am not having "trouble" with the cloud, I do not wish to use the cloud. I would like to backup to either a PC or a flash drive.
