1. Mobile Backup and Restore:
Avast Mobile Backup is a free Android backup solution which provides option to backup your contacts, SMS, call logs and photos. This app is free, but if you would like to backup also music, video, and apps, then you need to buy the Premium version which can be purchased from the app.
It automatically backs up your Android data, with various settings as to when you want it to backup. Photos are backed up to Google Drive due to data size, so you need a Google account for Mobile Backup use.
2. G Cloud Backup:

The back up file is secured to a cloud server and you can easily restore it.
