Full backup for WP 7.8
A full backup process would be needed.
Wp 7.8 should be able to backup SMS, Mailbox, Ringtones, apps and not only a few "things". it's important to know that we would be able to restore our data in case of hardware failure for example.161 votesWe are truly floored by the number of feature suggestions that we have received and the excitement about future Windows Phone releases. Some of you have been wondering, “Will Windows Phone 7.8 have the same features as in Windows Phone 8?” The answer, unfortunately, is no. Windows Phone 8 is a generation shift in technology, which means that it will not run on existing hardware. BUT we care deeply about our existing customers and want to keep their phones fresh, so we’re providing the new Start screen in the upcoming 7.8 update. We’ll have more to share on the Windows Phone 7.8 update in the coming weeks.
