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 your device is damaged, lost or stolen, the data stored
on its internal memory may be impossible to recover. It is recommended to use the
Xperia™ Companion software to make backups which save your data safely to an
external device. This method is especially recommended if you are updating your device
software to a newer Android version.
The Xperia™ Backup & restore application is recommended for backing up data before
you do a factory data reset. With this application you can back up data to an online
account, an SD card or to an external USB storage device that you have connected to
your device using a USB Host adapter:
With the Google Backup & restore application, you can back up data to a Google server.
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:
•
Call logs
•
Text messages
•

•
Media files such as music and videos
