Backup and Restore
Your phone's Backup and restore menu lets you back
up your phone's data and settings to Google servers
before resetting your phone to the original factory
settings. The Factory data reset erases all data from
the phone's application storage, including:
Your Samsung account
•
Your Google Account
•
All other email and social networking accounts
•
System and application data and settings
•
Downloaded applications
•
Performing a factory data reset (see "Factory Data
Reset" on page 219) erases all data on the phone. It is
recommended that you back up important data before
performing a factory data reset.
Erased information cannot be restored. Only erase data
after you are sure you have saved everything you need.
