Managing files using a computer Use a USB cable connection between a Windows® computer and your device to transfer and manage your files. Once the two devices are connected, you can drag and drop content between your device and the computer, or between your device's internal storage and SD card, using the computer's file explorer. If you have a PC or an Apple® Mac® computer, you can use Xperia™ Companion to access the file system of your device. 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. It is recommended to use the Xperia™ Companion software 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 to a newer Android version. Using Backup & Restore, you can make a quick online backup of basic settings and data with your Google™ account. It is very important that you remember the password that you set when you make a data backup. If you forget the password, it may not be possible to restore important data such as contacts and messages. Backing up data to a computer Use the Xperia™ Companion software to back up data from your device to a PC or an Apple® Mac® computer. You can back up the following types of data: • Contacts and call logs 127 This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
