HTC Backup uses your Google Drive storage to keep your content and settings. It can back up and restore the following: ● Personalization settings. These include your feed sources in HTC BlinkFeed, widgets, wallpaper, Home screen layout, and ringtones. ● Accounts and passwords. HTC Backup stores the login credentials for many popular email and social network accounts, including Exchange ActiveSync, Outlook.com, Flickr, LinkedIn, and POP/IMAP. ● Apps and settings. These include your contacts stored on your phone, text messages, web bookmarks, personal dictionary, Wi-Fi networks, TV remotes and viewing preferences, apps you've installed, grid size and sort order on the All Apps screen, and more. Backup Your Phone to Google Drive Turn on HTC Backup to do a daily backup of your content over Wi‑Fi. You can turn it on by selecting Back up phone daily while doing the on-device setup, or enable it in Settings. Note: Depending on the amount of content, doing a manual backup through data connection may incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a Wi-Fi connection is recommended. 1.

If you used your HTC Account or Facebook account, sign in to your Google Account to access your Google Drive. 7. When prompted, touch OK to allow HTC Backup to access your Google Drive. 8. To do a daily backup, make sure the Automatic backup switch is on. You can also touch Back up now to manually back up your phone anytime.
