Chapter 3 - Backup

What is a data backup?

Data backup is a backup of all the data that contains the cell phone, is of great importance to data backup before proceeding to perform a repair of a cell phone, more in the case of SmartPhone terminals that have large data capacity, because if a problem arises and the data of the phone is lostWe could back them up through the backup file.

In some cases, customers who leave their phones to repair give more value to the data that the phone itself, if something goes wrong, either because the phone plate is completely damaged, or in repair complications arise, the only thing that we could never recover deleted once are data from the phone, therefore, take steps appropriate to each case.

¡IMPORTANT!
In the case of repairs at the software level, it is essential to perform a backup of data since the process of flashing a phone delete all data contained on the phone, we will extend more details in subsequent chapters.

How to make a backup of data

To perform a data backup first, we must have the following elements:

1. PC or Notebock 
2. Service Software
3. Means of connectivity between the PC and the phone

· Cabo USB
· Infrared
· Bluetooth

We will use the Nokia PC Suite, which is a free software that can be downloaded from its official website.

We connect media, in the example we will use USB, until the program recognizes the phone.

Open the PC Suite and you will be shown the screen program.

Double click the icon "Backup" is, and it will open the next screen.

 

and we give you a click the backup button, this began the process of data backup.

Synchronization contacts

As we could see, the backup of data, a file that is the actual backup is generated, but we have to bear in mind is that want to upload that backup file, we can do it on the same phone or another but same brand/model that was held to which the backup.

For example, in the video we see that we make a backup of data from a Nokia 6300, that file not could upload it for example to a Nokia N95 or any Motorola or SonyEricsson, etc.

A very common problem is that many people change phone model, but they lose their phone book since they can not upload it via the backup file, but a solution for the transfer of contacts between different models of phone, is to perform a sync of contacts through the PC Suite, allowing you to download the complete list of contacts to PC in the Windows address book or through Microsoft Outlook Express, once in the PC it would synchronize your contacts again but this time with another phone and so we could exchange phone memory between different models of cell phones, a much-sought order among customers.

To perform a synchronization of contacts, from the home screen of PC Suite, we give click the synchronize icon and the following screen appears.

To give a click on Synchronize now, copy data from the phone's telephone contacts to the Windows address book, to access the address book on your PC should go to start/programs/accessories/address book, give it a click and start to the next screen.

 

And once the synchronization is complete, can view the contacts from the phone to the PC, only enough upload these contacts to the phone you wish to.
