Restoring your backup to your phone
If you've used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to HTC One mini, or
to a new HTC phone.
Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone may
incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a Wi‑Fi connection is
recommended.
1. When you turn on a new HTC phone for the first time or after a factory reset,
choose to restore content, and then select Restore from HTC Backup on the Set
up phone screen.
2. Sign in using your HTC Account or Facebook account, depending on which one
you used to back up your phone before.
3. Sign in to the same Dropbox account that you used to back up your phone, and
choose to allow HTC Backup to access Dropbox. Your backup history will then
be displayed.
4. Select a backup, and then tap Next.
5. Wait for your settings to be restored.
6. Tap OK to continue restoring your previously installed apps.
Your apps will be restored in the background, and you can track the progress via a
notification in the status bar. Your apps will appear in the All apps view as they are
installed. The All apps and Home screen shortcuts will be reorganized as in your
backup after all of your apps have been installed. You may continue using your phone
while apps are being restored.
You can also go to Settings, and then tap Backup & reset > Restore from HTC
Backup.
Before this, make sure you've already signed in to the same account that you used
to back up your phone before. Also, if you've started changing settings or data on
your phone, clear the App data and settings restore option before restoring your
backup to avoid overwriting them.
Backing up your text messages
Keep important text messages by backing them up to the phone storage. You can
easily restore backed up text messages after you've deleted them from your message
list.
1. Open the Messages app.
2. Tap > Back up/Restore SMS > Back up > Back up SMS.
3. Enter a name for your backup file, and then tap OK.
