B B acking 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.
