There isn't such a feature on android because they can't scan your stuff for advertising if it is an encrypted blob. Apple let's you do this with an iphone, iirc.

    Samsung has encrypted profiles, apps have no problem advertising to you from knox.

    To do a complete phone backup like that all you need is Android root access. Root access on Android is, in fact, a little iffy. Any app given root access can basically read anything on the phone anywhere, keylog, remote execute, yada yada. The security landscape on android is a lot more flat than ios.

    Some ISP Vendors do have apps that let you sync android phones and back them up, it's just not common and they go through a LOT less work to make sure your restores will work later.
