Backing up phone onto Desktop

[ReprobusR]

I installed the NokiaPC Suite but when my phone is plugged in and I click back up I get the warning there is no Nokia device plugged in ? As well I get this error; Your phone is in file transfer mode and cannot be used with PC Suite, Quit file transfer mode from the phone if you want to use the phone with PC suite ?

What Nokia do you have? PC Suite is for Symbian, not Windows Phone.

I have that program for the desktop. There isn't a backup feature within this program !

Maybe try the "Windows Phone app for Windows 8". The app you have will recognize that your 1520 is connected to the PC, right?

I want to back up everything that is on the phone, if I have to restore I have a local backup, not just on OneDrive.

Are you saying (or asking if) that makes a phone backup on your PC? I didn't think there was a way to back up the phone to a PC. I mean I make additional backups of the folders you can see but those don't include settings, etc. just pictures, music, videos and documents.

I was hoping I can make a complete backup including settings etc, from the information I gather I can't. I can only back up to the OneDrive
