Backing up and restoring content
Generally, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on
the internal memory of your device. If something should happen with the hardware, or
if your device is lost or stolen, the data stored on its internal memory is gone forever.
It is recommended to use the PC Companion or the Sony Bridge for Mac applications
to make backups which save your data safely to a computer, that is, an external
device. This method is especially recommended if you are updating your device
software from one version to another.
Once your data is safely backed up to a computer, you can also make a quick
backup of basic settings and data to the SD card in your device or to an external
USB storage device by using the Backup and restore application. This backup
method is useful, for example, if you are doing a factory data reset and are not
updating the software version.
