Using Android Backup Service
Starting from Android 6.0, use the Android Backup Service to back up your HTC phone to
Google Drive
™
.
This service can back up and restore the following:
Personalized HTC
Sense Home
These include widgets, wallpaper, Home screen layout, ringtones, and grid
size and sort order on the Apps screen.
App data § In HTC apps, app data includes contacts stored on HTC One S9, text
messages, call history, Clock and Weather city list, and email accounts.
§ Data from third-party apps may also be saved in the backup, depending on
the app developer settings.
Settings These include Wi-Fi networks and passwords and some device settings.
When auto backup is enabled, the Android Backup Service periodically backs up your phone to a
private folder in Google Drive. Auto backup occurs every 24 hours when the phone is idle, charging,
and connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Backup data will not count towards your Google Drive storage quota. Large files or files that app
developers have chosen to exclude from the service will not be backed up.
