Ways of backing up files, data, and settings

Worried that you might lose important stuff on HTC Desire 820?
Back up HTC Desire 820 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, settings, contacts stored on
your phone, text messages, and more to the cloud so that it will be easier to restore
them on HTC Desire 820 (after a factory reset) or newer phone.
HTC Sync Manager
Use HTC Sync Manager to import music, photos, and videos from HTC Desire 820 to
your computer. You can also sync locally stored contacts, calendar events, bookmarks,
and playlists between HTC Desire 820 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 Desire 820 on your computer.
Other backup options
If you want, you can separately back up your data or files.
Some apps allow you to back up data to the phone storage or storage card so you
can easily restore them after a factory reset. Just make sure not to erase the phone
storage or storage card when you do a factory reset.
ƒ Moving apps to the storage card doesn't back up the apps. If you do a
factory reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.
ƒ When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone, the apps
on the storage card won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll
need to reinstall them.
Messages Back up your text messages to the phone storage or storage card, or
save them as an email attachment.
Contacts ƒ Save contacts and other personal data to your online accounts so you
can just sync them when switching to another phone.
ƒ If you have locally stored contacts in the People app, export them to
the phone storage or storage card.
