Windows Phone 8 : Configuring Basic Device Settings - Backing Up Your Phone (part 4) - Determining Backup Quality for Your Photos and Videos

3/31/2014 4:26:13 AM

Determining Backup Quality for Your Photos and Videos

If you have photos or video on your phone that you really don’t want to lose, it is extremely important to back them up. Windows Phone 8 uses the Photos backup function to back up both photos and video, although you can control photo and video backups separately.

As you plan your backups, you must determine how important the quality of your photos and videos is. Microsoft gives you three options for photo and video backups:

Don’t Upload: Data is not backed up.

Good Quality: The backup copy of your photos and videos might not be as good as the quality of the original. You can make good-quality photo backups over the phone’s cellular connection. Good-quality video backups require Wi-Fi.

Best Quality: The quality of the backup is as good as the quality of the photo and video files stored in your phone. Best-quality backups require Wi-Fi for both photos and videos.

Backing Up Your Photos and Videos

To back up your photos and videos, go to the Backup screen and perform the following steps:

1. Tap Photos.

2. Choose the quality of backup that you want to use for your photos.

3. Choose the quality of backup that you want to use for your videos.

It’s Not All Good

Unlike App List+Settings backups, no Backup Now option exists for backing up photos or videos.
