Backing Up Data with the Backup & Restore Application
Depending on the version of the Backup & Restore application that's installed on your device,
you may not be able to back up and restore data between different Android versions, for
example, when updating from Android version 4.4 to version 5.0. However, if you are running
version 2.0 (or later) of the Backup & Restore application, you can restore your data between
such updates. You can check the version of the Backup & Restore application under Settings
> Apps > All > Backup & restore.
Using the Backup & Restore application, you can back up data manually or turn on the
automatic backup function to save data periodically.
The Backup & Restore application is recommended for backing up data before you do a
factory data reset. With this application you can back up the following types of data to an
SD card or to an external USB storage device that you have connected to your device
using the USB Host adapter:
•
Bookmarks
•
Call logs
•
Contacts
•
Conversations
•
Calendar data
