- Rules decide which SIMs and which calls are backed up
Call log backup app benefits for a business
A business number’s history belongs to the business. These keep it there.
Off the handset
Calls and CRM data sit in the account, not only on the phone.
Sign in to restore
A new or reset phone gets everything back after signing in.
Business SIM only
Only the SIM cards you tick are copied; a home SIM can be left alone.
Excluded numbers
Numbers on the exclusion list are never copied and never trigger messages or dialling.
Sync log
See what ran and when, and retry anything that failed.
How does the call log backup app keep data in sync?
Background sync
Changes sync in the background, and a full sync runs when the app opens.
Rules apply
Only the chosen SIMs and, if you want, only work-hour or lead calls are backed up.
Self-check repairs
A self-check finds data missing on either side and fills the gap.

Business call log backup vs a personal backup app
A personal backup app saves your call list to a file or a drive so you can put it back later. That is useful for one person. A business needs more: the calls must stay with the company when an employee changes phones or leaves, and the notes about each call matter as much as the call itself.
Calling CRM backs up the calls together with leads, statuses, remarks, follow-ups, clients, message templates and WhatsApp CRM history. Restoring on a new phone brings back the working day, not just a list of numbers. See also the call log CRM page.
Call log backup rules for shared work and personal phones
Many staff use one phone for work and home. Two optional rules keep the backup to work only:
- Working hours only: calls outside the branch’s hours, days off and time zone are not backed up.
- Leads and clients only: a call is kept when the number belongs to someone in your pipeline or client list, and skipped otherwise.
- SIM choice: a personal SIM on a dual SIM phone can be left out entirely.
- Excluded numbers: family or private numbers stay out of backup and every automation.
Call history backup on Android and iPhone
Reading the handset’s call history is possible on Android. Apple keeps that history closed to outside apps, so SIM calls made on an iPhone are not copied; leads, remarks, reminders and the rest of the CRM still are. More on the Calling CRM for iPhone page.
Call log backup app example: a Riyadh car rental desk
A car rental office in Riyadh runs 5 sales phones, each with a work SIM and the employee’s personal SIM. The manager sets backup to the work SIM only and to working hours.
One phone is dropped and replaced. The salesperson signs in on the new phone and gets back the call history, leads, follow-ups and remarks from the work SIM, without any personal calls.
The sync log on the new phone shows a full sync completed; the self-check reports nothing missing.
Call log backup app limits
- History erased from a handset before setup is out of reach; copying begins once the app is running.
- On iPhone, the phone’s SIM call log is not readable, so it is not backed up.
- It is not a file export tool for moving your personal call list between phones.
