Backup

Ways of backing up files, data, and settings
Worried that you might lose important stuff on HTC One mini? Back up HTC One mini
before you erase the storage, do a factory reset, or upgrade to a new phone.
HTC Backup
Use the built-in HTC Backup to back up your accounts, apps, settings, and more to
the cloud so that it will be easier to restore them on HTC One mini (after a factory
reset) or newer phone. For details, see
HTC Sync Manager
Use HTC Sync Manager to import music, photos, and videos to your computer. You
can also sync locally stored contacts, calendar events, bookmarks, documents, and
playlists to your computer. For details, see
Sync Manager on page 105.
Other backup options
Separately back up other data and file types if they're not supported in HTC Backup
and HTC Sync Manager.
In some apps, you can back up data to the storage on the phone so you can easily
restore them after a factory reset.
If you're backing up data to the storage, don't choose to erase the storage when
you do a factory reset.
Messages Back up your text messages to the storage on the phone, or save them
as an email attachment.
Contacts § Save contacts and other personal data to your online accounts so you
can just sync them when switching to another phone.
§ If you have locally stored contacts in the People app, export them to
the storage on the phone.
Files § Manually copy and paste files by connecting HTC One mini to your
computer as a disk drive.
§ Upload files to online storage and services.
Other data § If you added new words to your personal dictionary in the onscreen
keyboard, back up the dictionary to the storage or save it as an email
attachment.
§ Check the other apps to see if they support exporting data to the
storage.
