Xiaomi How to Create or Restore Backup

It is also possible to back up or create a backup of the Xiaomi smartphone via our Google account, with the backup being saved in the cloud or Google Drive. Restoring is possible at any time.

With the Mi account, the Xiaomi smartphone gives us another way to back up our data. Here, the data or backup is backed up in the Xiaomi cloud. This procedure is similar to the Google backup.

Note: A free Mi account must be created and backed up before use. Xiaomi backups can be restored from the cloud anytime, we only need the Mi account data.

On the Xiaomi smartphone, we have three ways to back up our data or create a backup. One is local backup, which creates a backup to the device's internal memory or storage.
This backs up the system settings, the start screen layout and apps with their respective data. Individual categories and apps can be selected and deselected. By default, everything is backed up.

The Xiaomi smartphone can back up data automatically to make sure no backup is forgotten, and we can also set the desired data, days and time for the backup.

Note: We recommend backing up at night, as the Xiaomi device is usually not used during this time.

Backups can be restored at any time, without having to reset the Xiaomi smartphone to factory defaults.
We can choose of whether a local, Google or Xiaomi backup has to be restored.

By default, the backup account selected when you activated your Xiaomi smartphone is set, but if we subsequently added another Google Account, we'll be able to select or specify that account for created backups as well.
