Back up and restore data on your phone

account.

list and settings, text messages, and photos.

Your downloaded apps may not be included in the backup, but you may be able to re-download them
from Store, as long as the app is available. Data transmission costs may apply. For more info, contact
your network service provider.
To back up your other content, such as music and videos, use either the Windows Phone app for
desktop or Windows Explorer.
If you ever need to restore your settings to your phone, add your Microsoft account to your new
phone, and follow the instructions shown on your phone.
