Backing up and restoring

Use the Backup and restore application to make backups of phone content to your memory card or online storage account. Such backups can be used to restore your content and some phone settings in cases where your data gets lost or deleted.

Types of content you can back up

Use the Backup and restore application to back up the following types of data:

•Bookmarks

•Call log

•Contacts

•Applications from Google Play™

•Multimedia messages

•System settings (such as alarms, ringer volume)

•Text messages

You do not need to back up music files and photos or videos taken with the phone camera. They are backed up automatically to the phone's memory card.

You may incur additional data transmission charges when you restore Google Play™ applications.
