Huawei: create backup - how it works

If you want to switch to a new Huawei smartphone or reset your cell phone, you should create a backup beforehand. In this way you save all pictures, documents and other data. The great thing about Huawei: You don't even need a separate app for the backup.

Create backup on Huawei devices

Unlike Samsung and Co., a backup tool is already preinstalled on Huawei smartphones and tablets. It allows you to back up all your data and restore it later.

1. To do this, start the "Data backup" app and confirm the user message with "Agree".
2. Then tap on "Backup" and select the desired storage location for your backup. You can choose between the device memory, the inserted SD card, a connected USB stick or your computer (if the cell phone is connected).
3. If you tap on "Next", you will get to the overview of your data.
4. Tap on the individual categories here and mark the files to be backed up with "OK". In particular, look in the "More" folder. There you will find, among other things, your notes, alarms and calendars. If you would like to save all of your data, tap on "All" in the lower right corner.
5. Then select the "Save" button below. The backup is then started.
6. The backup process can take some time depending on the number and size of the data. In any case, wait for the process to complete and do not turn off or lock your device.
7. As soon as the backup is completed, a corresponding message appears on the display. You can import this data backup later using the same app and the "Restore" button.
