Backup
It's a good idea to backup your phone on a regular basis. Don't wait back-
ing up your phone until it's too late. There's no universal method to back
up the information on your Android phone. Here we will mention some
ways to help you keep your information. We recommend that you regu-
larly copy your photos from the phone's internal storage to your computer
as a form of backup, see Connect the phone to a computer, p.30. These
files are found in the DCIM folder on your phone. DCIM stands for Digital
Camera IMages and it is the default directory structure for digital cam-
eras and for smartphone cameras.
Your Google account information is set to back up automatically. Follow

dar, and email will be restored whenever you set up a new device with
