Change backup & reset options

You can back up settings and other data associated with one or more of your Google Accounts. If you
need to replace or factory reset your device, you can restore your data for any accounts that were
previously backed up.

To view these settings:

1

From a Home or All Apps screen, touch the Settings icon

.

2

Under Personal, touch Backup & reset.

These options are available:

G

Back up my data. If you check this option, a wide variety of your personal data is backed up auton-
matically, including your Wi-Fi passwords, Browser bookmarks, a list of the apps you've installed
from the Market app, the words you've added to the dictionary used by the onscreen keyboard, and
most of your customized settings. Some third-party apps may also take advantage of this feature,
so you can restore your data if you reinstall an app.

If you uncheck this option, your data stops getting backed up, and any existing backups are deleted
from Google servers.

G

Backup account. Displays the Google Accounts whose information gets backed up. You must
sign in with one or more of these accounts on a new or reset device to retrieve the associated
information.

To add a new account, touch Backup account > Add account.
