Back up, sync, and restore your phone
Your phone is automatically backed up during the software update, when you update
the phone using the primary computer (the computer you first connected your phone
to with the USB cable). If you use a different computer to update your phone software,
no backup is created. You can change your primary computer in the Zune settings.
The backup includes the following:
•
System settings
•
Account settings
•
Pictures
•
Music
•
Videos
•
Documents
Your downloaded apps may not be included in the backup, but you can re-download
them from the Marketplace, as long as the app is available. Data transmission costs
may apply. For more info, contact your network service provider.
To back up your content, you can also sync your phone to your computer with Zune
or Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac without updating your phone software.
Syncing does not back up your system settings or your apps. You can also set your
phone to sync your contacts through Microsoft Outlook, so you can restore them to
your phone from your computer.
Restore a backup to your phone
Use a USB cable to connect your phone to your primary computer, and use Zune to
restore your backed up content and the earlier version of your phone software.
Free up phone memory
Do you need to increase the available phone memory, so you can install more apps
or add more content?
You can delete the following if no longer needed:
•
Text, multimedia, and mail messages
•
Contact entries and details
•
Apps
