Backup/restore

Step by Step
Backup/restore
Backups are usually made to a USB mass storage de-
vice and contain user-specific data.
A backup includes the following components:
•
All user settings for configuration
• Call forwarding instructions with default destina-
tions
• Phonebook entries with relevant data
• Ringtones
• Photos
• Screensavers
• Call list entries
The USB mass storage device is only used to back up
and restore the user area in the phone memory. You do
not have to remove the USB medium after a backup.
You can create multiple backups on the medium and re-
store them as required. You can also restore the back-
ups saved on another phone as a means of transporting
your settings and data, for instance, if your phone has
to be replaced.
A restore operation only works if the relevant settings
are enabled on the phone and the current software re-
lease supports these settings.
Every backup is given a separate name and is pass-
word-protected. Setting the password encrypts the
content of the backup. Data can only be restored after
entering the password set. The backup file is not auto-
matically deleted after a restore operation.
A USB pen drive must be connected to the USB
port provided so that the options described be-
low are available to you. Otherwise you are only
offered the "Close" option.
