Learn how to backup on your HTC One Mini.
Ways of backing up files, data, and settings
Worried that you might lose important stuff on HTC One Mini? Back up HTC One Mini before you erase the storage, do a factory reset, or upgrade to a new phone.
HTC Backup
Use the built-in HTC Backup to back up your accounts, apps, settings, contacts stored on your phone, text messages, and more to the cloud so that it will be easier to restore them on HTC One Mini (after a factory reset) or newer phone.
HTC Sync Manager
Use HTC Sync Manager to import music, photos, and videos from HTC One Mini to your computer. You can also sync locally stored contacts, calendar events, bookmarks, and playlists between HTC One Mini and your computer.
Likewise, HTC Sync Manager is a good alternative if you don’t want to back up your accounts, settings, and other personal content to the cloud. You can use it to create backups of HTC One Mini on your computer.
Other backup options
If you want, you can separately back up your data or files. In some apps, you can back up data to the storage on the phone so you can easily restore them after a factory reset.
Note: If you’re backing up data to the storage, don’t choose to erase the storage when you do a factory reset.
