copying all files from android to microSD Phone = moto g 
OS = Android 4.4.4


I was going to back up all files on phone to microSD card using EZ file explorer. However, I have been reading that latest 4.4 will not allow this due to new security.


Is it possible to copy all files from phone internal to external micro SD? 
Will this capture People, Chats, Photos, etc and be restore-able?
if you have rooted your device, of course it is possible. application data lies in /data, also backup your /storage/emulated/0 I think 
if you have rooted the device, then you could also boot up a custom recovery like twrp and do a nandroid backup, afterwards move it to the external sdcard
if you don't have rooted the device you only backup your internal sdcard. this also means that you may loose very much
if you don't have rooted the device, there is also the possibility of using adb backup from a pc.
