Back up and restore data on your phone
Accidents can happen – so set your phone to back up your settings, such as your start screen layout,
and other stuff to your Microsoft account.
You need a Microsoft account to back up your phone.
1. On the start screen, swipe down from the top of the screen, and tap ALL SETTINGS > backup.
2. If asked, sign in to your Microsoft account.
3. Select what to back up and how. You can set your phone to automatically back up your app list,
settings, and text messages. To automatically back up your future videos or best-quality photos to
OneDrive, you need a WiFi connection.
Tip: You don’t need to back up your contacts and calendar events separately. Your phone
automatically backs them up and keeps them in sync with your Microsoft account.
If some of your downloaded apps are not included in the backup, you can re-download them from
Store, as long as the app is available. Store remembers the apps you’ve bought, so you don’t need
to pay for them again. Data transmission costs may apply. For more info, contact your network service
provider.
Your phone backups are not visible in the main view of OneDrive, but you can find them in the OneDrive
settings. Check people.live.com for your backed up contacts and calendar.live.com for your calendar
events.
For info on data security in OneDrive, go to windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/onedrive/security.
To back up other content, such as music, connect your phone to your computer, and follow the
instructions on the computer screen. You have 2 options: either sync content between your phone
and computer using the Windows Phone app for desktop, or drag and drop content from phone to
computer in your computer’s file manager, such as Windows Explorer.
Back up the photos you’ve taken earlier to OneDrive
