In our mobile we have a lot of data and personal information that nobody would like to lose, although there are faults and problems. To prevent it, Xiaomi offers us a series of tools that protect our information and settings in difficult situations. Hand in hand with MIUI we will be able to safeguard our entire system.
These backups are very easy to make and even have automatic scheduling, which allows us to avoid having to continually keep an eye on keeping them updated. There are many data that are included, but they also have deficiencies that we will show you how to solve.
Steps to create a backup on Xiaomi
In the event that our mobile phone experiences any problem, we will always be able to resort to restoring the data on the phone and then recovering the original state with the help of the backup in just a few seconds. To achieve this we first have to follow the following steps that we show you to create this copy:
- We access the settings of our mobile.
- We tap on “On the phone”.
- We go down to backup and reset.
- We will find several options that we present to you.
Local backup
This section is where we are going to manually back up our data, which includes the following sections:
- Message and phone settings.
- Wi-Fi settings.
- Gallery settings (no photos).
- Security.
- Blacklist.
- Camera settings.
- Themes.
- Weather.
- General phone settings.
- Clock, notes and accessibility options.
If we prefer, we can choose to have this backup done automatically just by tapping on the option that seems right below us. In it we will be able to establish specific days and the time at which we want it to take place. At the same time we are going to establish the most important elements for us, avoiding that non-relevant data is continuously copied.
Back up to the cloud
To increase the protection and security of our information, we can create backup copies with the help of the My account. Within the same backup section we have access to Xiaomi Cloud backups from where we will be able to establish how they are performed, every few days and manage the ones we already have.
Among the elements that are saved in this backup we find many similar to those of the local copy, although with the advantage that if we lose the mobile or find it impossible to access it, we will not lose them. It will be carried out only when we are connected to the Wi-Fi network and the design of our mobile, notification settings, as well as the time, clock and other general settings are protected.
We can protect these same data in the Google backup , an option that we find in the same section and is linked to our Gmail account. Another method of increasing our protection that also adds a very important option, the backup of Google Photos , the app that allows us to save our photos and not lose them in any situation, one of the shortcomings of the Xiaomi backup.
