Backup

Ways of backing up files, data, and settings
Worried that you might lose important stuff on HTC One max? Back up HTC One max
before you erase the storage, do a factory reset, or upgrade to a new phone.
HTC Backup
Use the built-in HTC Backup to back up your accounts, apps, settings, contacts stored
on your phone, text messages, and more to the cloud so that it will be easier to
restore them on HTC One max (after a factory reset) or newer phone. For details, see
Using HTC Backup on page 136.
HTC Sync Manager
Use HTC Sync Manager to import music, photos, and videos from HTC One max to
your computer. You can also sync locally stored contacts, calendar events,
bookmarks, and playlists between HTC One max and your computer.
Likewise, HTC Sync Manager is a good alternative if you don't want to back up your
accounts, settings, and other personal content to the cloud. You can use it to create
backups of HTC One max on your computer. For details, see
Manager on page 140.
Other backup options
If you want, you can separately back up your data or files.
In some apps, you can back up data to the storage on the phone so you can easily
restore them after a factory reset.
If you're backing up data to the storage, don't choose to erase the storage when
you do a factory reset.
Messages Back up your text messages to the storage on the phone, or save them
as an email attachment.
Contacts § Save contacts and other personal data to your online accounts so you
can just sync them when switching to another phone.
§ If you have locally stored contacts in the People app, export them to
the storage on the phone.
