Question:

How do I back up and restore personal data such as photos and videos?

 

Answer:

To back up and restore personal data like photos and videos, follow these steps:

 

Use Smart Switch: This tool helps transfer data between devices. Download it from www.samsung.com/smartswitch.

Samsung Cloud: It's a built-in backup service for Samsung devices. Go to Settings > Cloud and Accounts > Samsung Cloud. Follow the instructions to back up your data.

Microsoft OneDrive: Sign up for an account and install the app on your device. Sync your files to the cloud by selecting them and tapping "Upload."

For non-Samsung Android devices, use the built-in Backup feature: Go to Settings > System > Backup. Enable Automatic backup and select the data you wish to back up.

For iPhones, use iCloud: Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos. Turn on iCloud Photos to automatically upload new photos and videos.

For Windows computers, use File History: Connect an external hard drive and go to Control Panel > File History. Click "Turn on" to start backing up your files.

For Macs, use Time Machine: Plug in an external hard drive and select "Back Up Now" from the Time Machine menu.

For online storage services, sign up for one (like Dropbox or pCloud) and follow their instructions to sync your files.
