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

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.

Messages:

Files:

• Manually copy and paste files by connecting HTC One Mini to your computer as a disk drive.

• Upload files to online storage and services.
