Backup Your Nokia phone using Nokia PC Suite

Nokia phones, Series 60 and above usually come with a CD containing the installer of their PC Suite application. The PC Suite is an essential tool for advanced Nokia users who want to get the more out of their phones. With this tool, you can backup data (i.e. contacts, messages, images, music and other files inside your phone).

1. Connect your phone to the PC. A USB cable is the fastest connection type for transferring large files between your phone and a PC.  Click the the phone image at the left side of the GUI to initialize a connection.

2. In Nokia PC Suite main window, click Backup to open Nokia Content Copier.

3. Click Back up.

4. From the list of content types available, select what you want to back up, and click Next.

5. Define a name and a storage location for the backup file, and click Next. After the phone contents have been backed up, click View the report if you want to see detailed information about the backup operation.

Use this tool to backup important data from your phone.  I usually do this before I update the phone’s firmware or if I need to change a phone.  With this tool you could easily import the backup using a new phone and maintain my list of contacts and messages.  If you lost the CD installer, just go to www.nokia.com to download the latest version for free.
