Backing up and restoring content

Generally, you should not save photos, videos, and other personal content solely on
the internal memory of your device. If something should happen with the hardware, or
if your device is lost or stolen, the data stored on its internal memory is gone forever.
We recommend you use the PC Companion or the Sony™ Bridge for Mac
applications to make backups which save your data safely to a computer, that is, an
external device. This method is especially recommended if you are updating your
device software from one version to another.
Once your data is safely backed up to a computer, you can also make a quick backup
of basic settings and data to the SD card in your device or to an external USB storage
device by using the Backup and restore application. This backup method is useful, for
example, if you are doing a factory data reset and are not updating the software
version.
Backing up data to a computer

up data from your device to a PC or an Apple
