9.2 Backing up your mobile device
A mobile backup is your guarantee that your data on your mobile device is safe and can be recovered
in case of corruption or loss. You can also use the backup to transfer your personal data and settings
from your old smartphone to a new one.
To back up data on your mobile device:
1. Start Acronis True Image.
2. Sign in to your Acronis account.
3. Select the data categories that you want to back up.
4. Tap Back up now.
5. Allow Acronis True Image access to your personal data.
When the backup is complete, your data is uploaded to the secure Acronis Cloud. If you want data
changes (for example, new photographs) to be backed up automatically, make sure the Continuous
backup setting is turned on. If this setting is turned off, the new data is backed up only when you tap
Back up. Refer to Mobile app settings (p. 105) for details.
9.3 Managing data on Acronis Cloud with your mobile
device
With your smartphone or tablet, you can access any mobile backup stored on Acronis Cloud. In
general, you can open, share, recover, and perform some other operations with a file or data
category. Note that because of operating system limitations, some operations can be unavailable for
the specific file types.
To access data in an online backup:

name or by the device that contains the desired data. For example, to access data from your
