In previous versions of Windows Phone such as Windows Phone 7, backup and restoring was a tedious task. Although it is far simpler in Windows Phone 8 as all of the options are provided built-in. Additionally, Apps and their respective data can be backed up easily but one question that every Windows Phone users ask is, how they can back-up all the messages and other system settings of their phone?
Well, Introduction of Windows Phone 8 put an end to all of these problems with providing all the facilities integrated in the system, only requirement is the knowledge of how it works. In spite of all this it is not a complete solution as it will upload all of the backup data to the sky drive account associated with the phone. Here is how you can do it.
- For App+Settings: Open Settings >> Backup. A switch to enable to disable option to backup will now appear along with backup now button. Toggle the switch to enable.
- For Messaging: Open Settings >> Backup. Slide to messaging and toggle switch to turn it on.
The above process follows to keep your device’s data backup on the sky drive servers, and for this a working WiFi high speed connectivity will be required for uploading all of the bulk data on the associated Sky Drive Account. If you want to backup all music, videos and images of your device on your PC, then it is rather simple.
There is tool called “Windows Phone sync tool” which once installed on the target computer will allow sync of all Windows Phone data onto the computer.
This was all that you need to do to backup Music, Videos, Images, Apps and other system data on sky drive servers and on PC. However, it is not possible to backup the apps onto the PC or in the device external memory, which is quite disappointing when compared to Android System.
