Google Pixel 3 - Google™ Backup and Restore

Here's how to ensure your Gmail, contacts, apps, etc. are backed up on your Pixel 3 / 3 XL.
Backups can't be restored from a higher Android™ version onto a phone with a lower Android version.
  1. From a Home screen, swipe up to display all apps.
  2. Navigate:
    Settings Settings icon
    >
    System
    .
  3. Tap
    Backup
    .
  4. Tap the
    Backup by Google One
     switch to turn on On icon or off Off icon.
    If disabled, existing backups are deleted from Google's servers.
  5. From the Account storage field, ensure you list the appropriate account (email address).
    You must enable Backup by Google One.
    1. To change accounts, tap
      Account storage
      .
    2. Tap the preferred account or tap Add account.
When a Google account is added to your phone, previous backups are restored. This can be done by adding an existing Google account to your already active phone or by signing in to the same Google account while setting up your new or reset phone.
