HOWTO: Mobile Device Backup & Restore

Note

  • Regular backups of your iPhone or Android devices can help prevent loss of data if your mobile device is damaged, lost or stolen.
  • Backing up your device also protects you from losing your data if your device gets infected by malware.
  • Best practice is to back up your mobile phone on a periodic basis.
