It's always a good idea to back up your data and settings on your Mobile phone in case something goes wrong. You may also want to backup your data before performing a Firmware upgrade.
This article explains how to create a backup on the 5800's memory card, or on your Windows PC using Nokia PC Suite.

How to create a backup on the phone

1. From the main standby screen press the white menu button.

2. Select "Applications".

3. Select "File Manager".

4. Select "Backup".

5. Select "Options", then "Back Up Now".

6. Select "Yes" (it will automatically replace any previous backup).

The backup will be stored on the memory card inserted in the phone's memory card slot. You can, of course, remove the card with the backup on it and save it.

To restore the latest backup onto your phone, repeat the process above but choose "Restore" instead of "Back Up Now".

How to create a backup on your computer using PC Suite

If you have a computer running Microsoft Windows, you can install Nokia PC Suite, which is a free collection of programs designed to work with Nokia mobile phones. The software is available on the CD that comes free with the Phone package. You can also download PC suite from Nokia's official website.

Connect the Nokia 5800 to your computer with its microUSB cable, selecting the phone's "PC Suite" mode when you connect. Start up PC Suite and select the "Backup" option (which should be an icon that looks like a safe). Follow the on-screen instructions to create the backup.
