Option B: Manual backup onto card
Android also offers a backup to local storage media. A removable microSD card can be used to restore
the XG4 to its fully configured state. This process can also serve as a rapid deployment tool.
To create a card backup, go to
Tools
, then tap on
Backup & Restore
. In the Backup tab select
everything you wish to be included in the backup. You can do that both for
System Settings
and
User Applications
. Note that not all user apps are allowed to be backed up (you can always
download them again from the Play Store). Then tap
Backup
at the bottom of the screen. The backup
file can be stored either on internal storage or on a microSD card.
Note that these backup methods do not include photos, videos, and documents. Pictures can be
backed up using the
Google Photos app
. Settings for that process are in the Photos app. Other
options are third party apps such as Flickr, Dropbox, Photobucket, or Microsoft OneDrive. There are
also comprehensive third party solutions that back up everything, like MyBackup Pro.
Restoring from a backup
To restore from an internal or card backup, go to
Tools
, then tap on
Backup & Restore
. Select
the
RESTORE
tab, tap on a backup file, and tap
on Restore.
