About Backup
Sony recommends that you periodically “backup” your tablet by copying the data stored on your tablet to another
storage device, like the hard drive on your PC. Various types of data, such as photos, video recordings, or
downloaded music and video content, will accumulate in your tablet device as you use it. If unexpected problems
occur with your tablet device, that data may be damaged or lost. As a preventive measure in case of such
accidents, you should make frequent backups so you will be able to restore your important data.
Note
Some data cannot be copied on your tablet device.
Some settings and applications may not have any backup method. Make written notes and keep them in a
safe place.
