How to Backup Phone Data
Losing a cell phone without having any backup can cost you dearly. Backing up your phone means saving contacts, calendar and sometimes messages.
Imagine how painful it would be to recollect all your contacts. In the meanwhile, by losing a calendar, one can miss important appointments, birthdays, and other events.
People usually lose all the data after getting the phone repaired. Mostly with smartphones, updating the operating system creates plenty of problems.
In order to avoid a problem of this nature, one must backup his/her mobile phone as soon as possible. It is not a tricky business by any means.
Things Required:
– Memory card
– Backup software (Nokia and Sony Ericsson called their software PC Suite)
– Diary (with Name and Address section)

Use a diary
If you face any problem in manually backing up your device, you can use a diary. Just note down each contact and calendar details on a small diary and keep it in your cupboard. This is really the easiest technology-free method, as you at least have a hardcopy of your data.
