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 to 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, such as 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.
