Backing up data
Use the Sony Ericsson PC Suite to make backups of
phone user data. Your backups are stored on the
computer and can later be restored to the phone. Make
backups on a regular basis, and always before having the
phone upgraded since upgrading clears all the user data.
Note: Even copyright-protected files are included when
backing up data, but the access keys to such files are not.
If you, for example, make a Master Reset after a backup
you will lose any access keys. You will then have to
reorder these keys (and pay for them once again) to be
able to use the files.
Restoring data
To restore phone data, select Backup Manager as when
making a backup, but then select the restore option
instead. You can restore data manually or have a wizard
assist you.
Important: All the phone data is overwritten during the
restore process. You may damage your phone if you
interrupt the restore process.
Remote synchronization
Remote synchronization is between your phone and a
synchronization server on the Internet or an intranet.
This is a way to keep your phone synchronized while on
the move. To set up and start remote synchronization, go
to
Tools > Remote sync.
Synchronization services may be offered by mobile
operators, third-party service providers or as added
capability to corporate applications for personal
information management (PIM).
