How to create a Windows 8.1 image backup (or full backup)
If you need to reset, upgrade, or replace your phone, be sure to back up all your accounts, apps, settings, and files. Windows Phone 8.1 has built-in tools that allow you to create a full backup very efficiently.
With the release of Windows 10, Microsoft is also working on a new version of its operating system for mobile phones and many users are testing the preview version. However, many users do not realize this because Windows 10 Mobile is not yet a finished product and has many problems. Therefore, there is a possibility that users may want to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 after a few days. This can only be done by reinstalling the operating system, which will wipe the phone, so if they do not have a backup, all their data, settings and apps are lost.
Although there is no "Create full backup" button on any phone, Windows Phone 8.1 offers several options to back up all the data on your phone to OneDrive, including apps and settings, text messages, and photos and videos.
