Backing up data Use the Sony Ericsson PC Suite to make backups of phone data. Your backups are stored on the computer and can later be restored to the phone. Make backups on a regular basis, and always before having the phone upgraded since upgrading clears all the user data. Note: Even copyright-protected files are included when backing up data, but the access keys to such files are not. If you, for example, make a Master Reset after a backup you will lose any access keys you have received. You will then have to reorder these keys (and pay for them once again) to be able to use the files.

restored to the phone. Make backups on a
regular basis, and always before having the
phone upgraded since upgrading clears all the
user data.
Note:
Even copyright-protected files are
included when backing up data, but the access
keys to such files are not. If you, for example,
make a Master Reset after a backup you will
lose any access keys you have received. You
will then have to reorder these keys (and pay
for them once again) to be able to use the files.
Restoring data

restore option instead. You can restore data
manually or have a wizard assist you.
