    Arrow Firmware Update - Save Contacts

    Hello,

    I'm using the firmware 0.9.0.4 and I'd like to upgrade to 0.9.3.9 official.
    I know how to upgrade but I'm not sure about the backup procedure.

    For the moment, I've backup everything using settings/system/Data Backup
    In the post "How to upgrade firmware on Meizu M8", someone say : use "Contact Manager" and click the "Backup Contacts", but I don't have this contact manager option.

    How can I save my contacts with the associated pictures.
    After I upgrade, I just need to use the restore function ?
    All the applications I already installed will be restored too, or I'll have to reinstall everything ?

    Thanks

    in my opinion the best way to manage the contacts is outlook. install active sync and outlook and syncronize the contacts...
    get a Nexus and be happy...

    I've used M8 backup and also synched to Outlook. Both work equally well. I like having both methods just to prevent loss due to a worst case scenario!
    fw 0.9.3.9 for now
