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 the Backup & Restore application, you can make a quick online backup of
basic settings and data with your Google™ account. You can also use this
application to back up data locally, for example, to the SD card in your device or to
an external USB storage device.
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.
