Using HTC Backup
Save the time and frustration of re-creating your personalized HTC One (E8)
experience when you do a factory reset or buy another phone. On HTC One (E8), use
HTC Backup to do a daily backup to the cloud so you can easily restore your content
and settings next time.
HTC Backup uses your Google Drive or Dropbox ™ storage to keep your content and
settings. It can back up and restore the following:
Personalization

messages, call history, web bookmarks, personal dictionary,
Wi-Fi networks, free apps you've installed, grid size and sort

Backing up HTC One (E8) to Google Drive
