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 Xperia™ Companion software 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 to a newer Android
version.
Using Backup & Restore, you can make a quick online backup of basic settings and
data with your Google™ account.
It is very important that you remember the password that you set when you make a data
backup. If you forget the password, it may not be possible to restore important data such as
contacts and messages.
Backing up data to a computer
Use the Xperia™ Companion software to back up data from your device to a PC or
an Apple
®
Mac
®
computer. You can back up the following types of data:
•
Contacts and call logs
•
Text messages
