Retrieving old data from 2011!

[r125]

Hi, looking to try and track down some data recorded onto my samsung in 2011. Not sure where the handset is yet but would like to know if there's any way of seeing whether I can get the data without the handset.

Was there some form of Samsung cloud/auto backup in 2011 which is accessible now? Thanks for any/all advice.

Could you advise what form of data it is. Pictures, videos, documents etc. I'm not sure what, if any, cloud accounts were around back then sorry. I suppose it would be better if you could locate the device. That's providing it's still accessible and you remember any security credentials.

Thanks. It is photos and voice recordings. Yes trying to track the handset down. As it seems like Samsung cloud came in in 2016 but I am wondering if anything existed before

Photos could of been backed up to Google, but I guess you'd of noticed that already.
I wonder if Samsung Smartswitch was around back then (maybe under a different name). If you used it to create a back up in 2011, then maybe there's a file on your PC somewhere. Unsure about file compatibility though.
