Fortunately (or so I thought at the time) I had just done a backup and restore on Sony PC Companion, so I thought all my previous apps, settings and other data was safe.</P><P>Now I have tried to restore my previous data in backup and restore, but you don't seem to be able to restore, without doing a new backup, which has all the settings and stuff on it I don't want. So how does that work? If you back something up, surely it's because you want to be able to access it, without having it overwritten by something else?</P> Fri, 04 Oct 2013 11:36:57 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/how-to-get-my-stuff-back/m-p/3133319#M312206 infuri8ted 2013-10-04T11:36:57Z https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/how-to-get-my-stuff-back/m-p/3133320#M312207 <P>You should be able to restore the backup to your phone without doing a new backup first.&nbsp;</P> <P>Open backup and restore in PC Companion, mark the backup you want to restore in the box under the restore option &gt; then press on 'restore'.</P> Fri, 04 Oct 2013 14:51:43 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/how-to-get-my-stuff-back/m-p/3133320#M312207 Alexander1 2013-10-04T14:51:43Z
