Backing up and restoring content

Generally, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on the internal memory of your device. If something should happen with the hardware, or if your device is lost or stolen, the data stored on its internal memory is gone forever. It is recommended to use the PC Companion or the Sony Bridge for Mac applications to make backups which save your data safely to a computer, that is, an external device. This method is especially recommended if you are updating your device software from one version to another.

Once your data is safely backed up to a computer, you can also make a quick backup of basic settings and data to the SD card in your device or to an external USB storage device by using the Backup and restore application. This backup method is useful, for example, if you are doing a factory data reset and are not updating the software version.

Backing up data to a computer

Use the PC Companion application or the Sony Bridge for Mac application to back

up data from your device to a PC or an Apple® Mac® computer. These backup applications let you back up the following types of data:

•Contacts

•Text messages

•Settings

•Media files
