It takes time to create a backup copy. The duration of the operation depends on how many files are being copied. The more information, the longer the operation may take. On average, the process takes 10-20 minutes.
Google Drive
The easiest way to make a full backup of your ALCATEL ONETOUCH Idol X 6040D (Red) is to use the system option. It allows you to create and upload a backup to Google Drive.
To perform the operation, follow these steps:
- Open the phone settings.

- Enable the “Upload to Google Drive” slider.
With these simple steps, the automatic backup function will become enabled. You need Internet connection for it to work. Now, if the user decides to reset the settings, the data will not disappear, but instead will be saved on Google Drive.
When using the built-in copy method, keep in mind that there is limited space on Google Drive. Only 15 gigabytes are available for free. If this amount of storage is not enough, you will have to make a subscription or turn to an alternative option.
Third Party Applications

How to Restore a Backup
Restoring a backup depends on the backup method used by the device owner. If the copy was created via Google Drive, you need to go through authorization and activate the automatic synchronization with cloud storage in the device settings.
If the backup was carried out by creating a local copy, the file must be placed in the ALCATEL ONETOUCH Idol X 6040D (Red) directory. Then you should open the settings and click the "Restore backup" button in the "Backup and Restore" section.
Users that created a copy via a special application (Titanium Backup) need to transfer the backup to the internal memory of the phone and install the app. Next, you need to launch Titanium Backup and open one of the saved backups in the "Backups" section.
