About backing up and restoring device data
It is recommended that you regularly create and save a backup file on th\
e internal 
storage, especially before updating any software. Maintaining a current \
backup file in 
storage memory may allow you to recover device data if your device is lo\
st, stolen, or 
corrupted by an unforeseen issue.
This LG Backup application is supported between LG smartphones and table\
ts, 
other software or operating system versions. As a result, when you buy t\
he new LG 
smartphones and tablets, you can backup the current device data to your \
new device.
If you have the LG Backup application preloaded on your smartphones and \
tablets, 
you can backup and restore most of your data, including downloaded and p\
re-installed 
applications, bookmarks, calendar entries, contacts, home screen setting\
s, and system 
settings. You may also:
• Perform a manual backup of your device.
•  Schedule automatic backups of your device.
•  Restore your device data.
 
% Warning!

tions, 
due to insufficient battery power

, you should always keep your battery fully charged.
