Back up my data

Mark the check box to back up your cellphone’s settings and other application data to Google Servers, with your Google Account. If you replace your cellphone, the settings and data you’ve backed up are restored onto the new cellphone for the first time you sign in with your Google Account. If you mark this option, a wide variety of settings and data are backed up, including your Wi-Fi passwords, bookmarks, a list of the applications you’ve installed, the words you’ve added to the dictionary used by the onscreen keyboard, and most of the settings that you configure with the Settings application. If you unmark this option, you stop backing up your settings, and any existing backups are deleted from Google Servers.

Automatic restore

Mark the check box to restore your backed up settings or other data when you reinstall an application.

Factory data reset
