For backing up data files in general, I recommend X-plore File Manager, a dual pane file manager that makes it very easy to copy files to and from other computers on your local network as well as backup data to various cloud services.

When I clicked on the link above for X-plore File Manager, I got a Play Store error message saying "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server."

Somehow the URL is missing an "s?" in the middle of it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I searched for recycle bin and found that most blog and forums suggested Dumpster
I installed it and deleted one photo from gallery. It showed up in Dumpster and I was able to restore it.
If anyone had used it, please let me know of any problem in using it.
Also I need anti-virus and wifi firwall, need suggestion of apps being used by others.
I liked some of the apps at f-droid, thanks ewemoa, but is it safe to use apps from it ? Any users of it ?
Regards,
Anand

They must of updated it a bit from when I tried it. Well done for finding one that works for you.

Try it with a file deleted from the MicroSD card, (if you have one installed), since KitKat allows files operations on internal storage without too much in the way of problems.
And just as a matter of interest, what version of Android is it running, (Settings->About phone->Android version) ?

Yes, F-Droid is fine if you don't want to be dragged into the Play store all the time.
Also I need anti-virus.

Agree with eleman here, but I do run a firewall mainly ensure apps do not access networks they're not supposed to, eg. VPN, LAN, Roam, Data. The one I run is of limited use to you as it requires root access.
Don't know if it's specific to my phone, (which is basically the same as the A6000 with a lower screen resolution), but if you go to Settings->Networked apps you can set which apps you've downloaded have access to Mobile Data and/or Wi-Fi.
