Backing up and restoring content
Generally, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on the
internal memory of your device. If something should happen with the hardware, or if your
device is lost or stolen, the data stored on its internal memory is gone forever. It is
recommended to use the PC Companion or the Sony Bridge for Mac applications to
make backups which save your data safely to a computer, that is, an external device.
This method is especially recommended if you are updating your device software from
one version to another.
Once your data is safely backed up to a computer, you can also make a quick backup of
basic settings and data to the SD card in your device or to an external USB storage
device by using the Backup & Restore application.
