When switching to a new phone or after a factory reset, simply signing into your Google account allows you to restore the data effortlessly.
Types of Data You Can Back Up with Google:
Step 1. On your Sony Xperia phone, go to "Settings" > "System" > "Backup".
Step 2. Enable the "Back up to Google Drive" option and make sure you're signed into your Google account.
Step 3. Tap "Back up now" to perform a manual backup instantly.
Step 1. On your new or factory-reset device, follow the on-screen setup instructions.

Make sure your Google Drive has sufficient cloud storage to accommodate the backup, as certain data, such as app data or text messages, may not be fully restored depending on your Android version and Google's current support policies.
