Yes, Google sync is easiest way to protect data from loss. And it ensure a pretty smooth transition of all data to a new device.

I mainly use Google Sync to back-up all of my data on Android. I still keep a backup on my pc, just in case though.

Its always beneficial to have multiple backups of your data on your android device. So, i am suggesting you one of the backup method for SD card which you can keep on your computer.

1. Connect your android device to your mac or windows PC via USB cable.
2.On android device, go to main menu and select USB connection.
3. Choose USB mass storage and click ok.
4.A new drive will apperar on your computer for SD card.
5. Open that drive and copy all your data into it as one of your backup of android data on your PC.
