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 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 Android version to another, for example, from Android version 4.4 to 5.0. 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 & Restore application. 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.

These backup applications let you back up the following types of data: • Contacts and call logs 141 This is an Internet version of this publication. © Print only for private use.
