Back up and restore data on your phone
Accidents can happen – so set your phone to back up your settings and stuff to your Microsoft
account.

Your downloaded apps may not be included in the backup, but you may be able to re-download them
from Store, as long as the app is available. Data transmission costs may apply. For more info, contact
your network service provider.
To automatically back up videos or best-quality photos, you need a Wi-Fi connection.
To back up your other content, such as music, use either the Windows Phone app for desktop or
Windows Explorer.
