Note: If you're backing up data to the storage, don't choose to erase the storage when you do a factory
reset.
Use HTC Backup
Save the time and frustration of restoring your content when you do a factory reset or you lose,
damage, or buy another phone. On your phone, use HTC Backup to do a regular backup to the
cloud so you can easily restore your content next time.
HTC Backup uses your Google Drive storage to keep your content and settings. It can back up and
restore the following:
Personalization settings. These include your feed sources in HTC BlinkFeed, widgets,
n
wallpaper, Home screen layout, and ringtones.
Accounts and passwords. HTC Backup stores the login credentials for many popular email
n
and social network accounts, including Exchange ActiveSync, Outlook.com, and POP/IMAP.
Apps and settings. These include your contacts stored on your phone, text messages, Web
n
bookmarks, personal dictionary, Wi-Fi networks, free apps you've installed, grid size and sort
order on the Apps screen, and more.
Backup Your Phone to Google Drive
Turn on HTC Backup to do a daily backup of your content over Wi-Fi. You can turn it on by selecting
Back up phone daily while doing the on-device setup, or enable it in Settings.
Note: Depending on the amount of content, doing a manual backup through data connection may
incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
