Memory and storage

Back up and restore data on your phone

Avoid the point of no return – back up your phone and your stuff onto your computer.

Your settings, documents, photos, music, and videos are automatically backed up during the software update, when you update your phone using the primary computer (the computer you first connected your phone to with a USB cable). If you use a different computer to update your phone software, no backup is created. You can change your primary computer in the Zune settings.

If you don't yet have Zune, go to www.zune.net/ to download and install the latest version on your computer. If you're using an Apple Mac, download Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac from the Mac App Store.

1. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.

2. Open Zune.

3. Wait while Zune checks for available updates, and follow the instructions shown on your computer.

   Your downloaded apps may not be included in the backup, but you can re-download them from Marketplace, free of charge. Data transmission costs may apply. For more info, contact your network service provider.

   Tip:

   You can also sync your phone to your computer with Zune or Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac without updating your phone software. Syncing does not back up your system settings or your apps. You can also set your phone to sync your contacts through Outlook, so you can restore them to your phone from your computer.

SkyDrive

Store your stuff in the clouds. You don't need to worry about freeing memory for your favourites or new apps.

SkyDrive is cloud storage for all your documents and photos, so you can access, share, or restore them if need be.

With SkyDrive, you can access your photos, documents, and more from your phone, tablet, or computer. Depending on the app, you can even continue working on a document right from where you left it earlier.

There are several places where you can access your stuff on SkyDrive. For example, you can save photos to SkyDrive in the Pictures hub, or manage your office documents in the Office hub.

Share your photos and documents between your devices

To upload your photos, documents, or other stuff saved on your phone, tablet, or computer to SkyDrive, you need to sign in to your Microsoft account. To access the uploaded content on another device, you need to sign in to the same Microsoft account that was used when uploading the content.

To upload or download content, you need an internet connection. If you don't have a data plan, the data transmission costs may pile up quickly. For info about possible data costs, contact your network service provider.
