Backing Up Your Data Locally - HTC Desire 820 User Manual

105 Sync, backup, and reset
If you backed up your phone to your online storage before, you can restore your
backup to HTC Desire 820, or to a new HTC phone.
ƒ Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone
through your data connection may incur additional data costs and take a
long time. Using a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
ƒ To restore paid apps, you need to download and install them from Google
Play.
1. When you turn on a new HTC phone for the first time or after a factory reset,
select Restore from HTC Backup on the Get content from old phone screen.
2. Make sure to sign in using the same account that you used to back up your
phone before. Your backup history will then be displayed.
3. Select a backup, and then tap Next.
4. If you used your HTC Account or Facebook account to backup your phone, sign
in to your Google Account to access your Google Drive.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your backup and to continue setting
up your phone.
6. Slide open the Notifications panel to check if there's any notification to finish
setting up your phone.
Free apps from Google Play will be restored in the background, and you can track the
progress via a notification in the status bar.
The Apps and Home screen shortcuts will be reorganized as in your backup after all
of your apps have been installed. You may continue using your phone while apps are
being restored.
You can also open the HTC Backup app, and then tap Restore from backup.
Just make sure that you've already signed in to the same account that you used
to back up your phone before. Restoring a backup will overwrite the current
data and settings on HTC Desire 820.
Switching from your previous online storage to Google Drive
After you've restored a saved backup from your Dropbox storage to HTC Desire 820,
remember to change your backup storage and use Google Drive from now on.
1. Open the HTC Backup app.
2. Tap Change backup settings.
3. Tap > Select storage service.
4. Select Google Drive, and then tap OK.
5. Sign in to your Google Account, if you haven't done so.
