Forgetting backup, if data cannot reasonably be accessed, it is lost.

nospam
if it can be accessed at all, then it's not lost, by definition, and you don't get to 'forget' a backup unless you want to lose the data.

also, 'reasonably accessed' is vague. what's reasonable to one person is not the same as what's reasonable to another.

PeterN
So to one it is lost. to the other it isn't There is no one size fits all.

if just one person can access the data then it is not lost.

The only data on my phone is basically my contact list. While my contact list can be reconstructed, it is not easily accessible on my phone.

nospam
if it can be reconstructed, then it's not lost, by definition, and your contacts are almost certainly in the cloud and/or a backup, so the 'reconstruction' is trivial. restore the new device and it's done. with the cloud it will happen in the background.

Your supposed "internal switch" is not a moving part.

PeterN
Can't say.

nospam
then why did you bring it up?

PeterN
You did when as usual, you took a portion of my statement out of of context.

non-answer, and i did no such thing anyway.
