Using HTC Backup

do a factory reset or buy another phone. On HTC One E9+, use HTC Backup to do a daily backup to
the cloud so you can easily restore your content and settings next time.

back up and restore the following:
Personalization
settings

HTC Backup stores the login credentials for many popular email and
social network accounts, such as Exchange ActiveSync, Outlook.com, and
POP/IMAP.
Apps and settings
These include your contacts stored on HTC One E9+, text messages, call
history, web bookmarks, Wi-Fi networks, free apps you've installed, grid
size and sort order on the Apps screen, and more.
Backing up HTC One E9+ to Google Drive
Turn on HTC Backup to do a daily backup of your phone over Wi-Fi. Turn it on by selecting
