Apple/iPhone - Anyone Recommend a Good Backup App?

[Beggar for the Spirit]

I am looking for an app that is an alternative to iTunes, for backing up my entire iPhone, the contacts, notes, apps, music, etc. 

There are a variety of apps that perform this function, but many reviews seem inconsistent or bias. So I was hoping some of my brothers/sisters know of an app that they would highly recommend.

Or at least a good "contact manager" for backing up and formatting my contacts. I appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

Not an app, but physical iXpand SanDisk will back up your phone.

Any reason why iCloud couldn’t fulfill this? It does everything you’re asking for with very little effort.

@Beggar for the Spirit, why don't you use iCloud? Any particular reason you don't use iCloud backup?

I just prefer not to use "cloud" services, so that is why I was hoping someone might have a different alternative.

Ok. I haven't used any other backup services outside of iTunes and iCloud. Hope someone else can help.
