60 Synchronization and backup

This is the Internet version of the user guide. © Print only for private use.
To synchronize, connect your phone to the
computer using a USB, Bluetooth or infrared
connection.
Note:
If you are using a USB connection,
select the
Phone mode
setting.
On the computer, select
Start > Programs >
Sony Ericsson > Sony Ericsson PC Suite for
Smartphones
to open the Sony Ericsson PC
Suite. In the
File
menu, select
Sync Manager
.
Synchronization settings
In the
Sync Manager
window, select
Settings
to define what is to be synchronized and how.
Starting synchronization
In the
Sync Manager
window, select
Synchronize now
to start synchronizing. After
each synchronization, you can view the results
by displaying the summary.
Backing up data
Use the Sony Ericsson PC Suite to make
backups of phone data. Your backups are
stored on the computer and can later be
restored to the phone. Make backups on a
regular basis, and always before having the
phone upgraded since upgrading clears all the
user data.
Note:
Even copyright-protected files are
included when backing up data, but the access
keys to such files are not. If you, for example,
make a Master Reset after a backup you will
lose any access keys. You will then have to
reorder these keys (and pay for them once
again) to be able to use the files.
Restoring data
To restore phone data, select
Backup Manager
as when making a backup, but select the
restore option instead. You can restore data
manually or have a wizard assist you.
Important:
All the phone data is overwritten
during the restore process. You may damage
your phone if you interrupt the process.
Remote synchronization
Remote synchronization is between your
phone and a synchronization server on the
Internet or an intranet. This is a way to keep
your phone synchronized while on the move.
To set up and start remote synchronization, go
to
Tools > Remote sync
