Saving Telephony Data

Telephony data like telephone book pictures and ring tones, as well as announcements and messages on the answering machines, are saved to the internal memory of the FRITZ!Box. You can back up these data in order to restore them – along with the saved FRITZ!Box settings – in the same FRITZ!Box, a FRITZ!Box of the same model, or a different FRITZ!Box model.

Note:Telephony data located on a connected USB storage medium are automatically available as soon as this USB storage medium is connected to the corresponding FRITZ!Box.

Examples

Since telephony data are saved neither when you use the "Save Settings" setting nor when you automatically save your FRITZ!Box settings with the "Save Settings" push service configured, it may make sense for you to save your telephony data explicitly.

Example 1

You would like to switch to a different FRITZ!Box model and take the telephony data from the previously used FRITZ!Box with you.

Example 2

You would like to restore the factory settings to your FRITZ!Box and then restore your telephony data.

Requirements

  • You previously saved the settings from the same FRITZ!Box whose telephony data you want to save now.
