Backing your mobile content

Being someone who installs a lot of mobile applications, it is very important for me to maintain a backup of all my important mobile messages, phone contacts and calendar appointments.

Most phones these days provide support for Bluetooth or alternately a cable connection. While a cable connection is usually much faster, a Bluetooth connection allows you to use your mobile freely within a range of 30mts or so. To backup your phone details it is important that you have at least one of the options mentioned above. The phone usually has a software CD bundled with it. Alternately if you do not have one, you could check out the site for the latest version of the software. A lot of other alternatives such as Oxygen Phone Manager and Float’s Mobile Agent are also available. Nokia has its own PC suite with which the entire phone backup can be easily taken.

This option is usually available though the Nokia Content Copier.

1) Select “Make a backup of the phone contents to the PC”

2) Select your phone

3) Select the content you want to backup. In case of a full backup see that the “Copy also memory card contents” checkbox is checked.

This process can also be followed if you want to transfer all your phone settings to a new memory card. The best part is that it also takes a backup of the installed applications.
