Backup and Restore app and cloud?

Kuldahv — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:33:40 GMT

The help menu for the Xperia V preinstalled Back Up and Restore app says that I can back up to an SD or cloud, but the actual app only offers backup to internal storage or SD card, how can I point it to cloud storage?

There is no "cloud" option, that is why I asked.

The cloud option is only mentioned in the help menu.

Is there a simple way to access this forum with a phone so it would be easier to post screenshots?

can you post the link to that "cloud" on the help menu or screenshot

perhaps they are referring to sync with google, to backup your apps and contacts.

No, it's the "Back up and restore" app that does not sync.

This Sony webpage says the same:
"Use the Backup and restore application to back up device content to your internal storage, or to an online account"

I think that support for cloud might come later. It's not supported at the moment unfortunately,
