Back Up and Restore Mesa 3 Android Tablets

6 Dec 2024

Upgrading the operating system on your Mesa 3 Android tablet from one version to another will erase all user data and apps stored on the device. Back up your data and apps first using one of the following methods:

• Back up your data and apps to your Google account. Note that this method may not back up side-loaded apps (APKs). For instructions on setting up a Google account, go to Create a Google Account - Google Account Help.
• Save your files and apps to an external storage device, such as a microSD card or an external hard drive. If you are using a micro SD card, remove it before upgrading the operating system, so it is not erased during the upgrade process. 

Many apps have a cloud backup service. The information retained and restored through the operating system update will vary based on your apps and configurations. Also, some Mesa 3 tablets are managed by a central server and will not have any local data.

Back Up Your Apps and Settings to Google

To back up your tablet to Google,

1. On your device, go to Settings > Google > Backup.

2. Tap Back up now. 

3. Wait for your back up process to finish. 

Restore your Files and Apps

As part of the update installation, you can connect the Mesa 3 tablet to your Google account.

1. When prompted, choose to bring your data from a backup from the cloud to restore the applications and settings that you backed up.
