Backing up HTC Butterfly 2 to Google Drive

Turn on HTC Backup to do a daily backup of your phone over Wi-Fi. Turn it on by
selecting Back up phone daily while doing the on-device setup. If you didn't do so, use
the HTC Backup app.

Depending on the amount of content, doing a manual backup through data
connection may incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a Wi-Fi
connection is recommended.

1. Open the HTC Backup app.

2. Tap Turn on automatic backup.

3. Make sure Back up phone daily is selected, and then tap Next.

4. Sign in with your Google Account, HTC Account, or Facebook account.

5. On the Cloud storage screen, tap the Google Drive option, and then tap OK.

6. If prompted, sign in to your Google Account to access your Google Drive.

7. To do a daily backup, make sure the Automatic backup switch is on. You can

also tap Back up now to manually back up your phone anytime.

You'll see the most recent backup date and time under Backup history.
