How To Use LG Backup – LG G Pad
This LG Backup application is supported between LG smartphones and tablets, other software or operating system versions. As a result, when you buy the new LG smartphones and tablets, you can backup the current device data to your new device.
If you have the LG Backup application preloaded on your smartphones and tablets, you can backup and restore most of your data, including downloaded and pre-installed applications, bookmarks, calendar entries, contacts, home screen settings, and system settings. You may also:
- Perform a manual LG Backup of your device.
- Schedule automatic backups of your device.
- Restore your device data.
Note: Please note that the Backup function does not support the backup of user data and media data (Picture/Video/Music). Please backup those files using the Media sync (MTP). Connect your tablet to your computer using a USB cable and touch Media sync (MTP).
Note: To protect against an unexpected power off during backup or restore operations, due to insufficient battery power, you should always keep your battery fully charged.
