Backing up your files

When you sign in with your Microsoft account, you'll be able to save things to an online service such as SkyDrive.

When you set up backups on your phone, you can:

§Automatically upload your photos and videos to SkyDrive so you can see them from anywhere you can access the web.

§Sync your SMS and MMS messages to Hotmail® so you have a backup, just in case.

§Create backups of your phone’s settings, including the list of apps you’ve installed, your theme color, Internet Explorer® favorites, accounts, and more.

You can fine-tune your backup options in Settings > backup. For example, you can automatically upload your photos and videos at a high resolution, or manually back up your settings anytime.
