Backup

About backing up and restoring smartphone data

It is recommended that you regularly create and save a backup file on the internal storage, especially before updating any software. Maintaining a current backup file in storage memory may allow you to recover smartphone data if your smartphone is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen issue. This Backup application is supported between LG smartphones, other S/W or OS versions. As a result, when you buy the new LG smartphone, you can backup the current phone data to your new phone. If you have the Backup application preloaded on your smartphone, you can backup and restore most of your smart phone data, including downloaded and pre-installed applications, bookmarks, calendar entries, call logs, contacts, home screen settings, messages, and system settings. You may also:

• Perform a manual backup of your smartphone data.

• Schedule automatic backups of your smartphone data.

• Restore your smartphone data.

NOTE: Please note that the Backup function does not support the backup of User data & Media data (Picture/Video/Music). Please backup those files using the Media sync (MTP). Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable and touch Media sync (MTP).

Warning! To protect against unexpected shutoff during backup or restore operations, due to insufficient battery power, you should always keep your battery fully charged.
