(if applicable unlock klick once on the power button to get it from standby and unlock the screen by swiping the middel circle.)

- press and hold the powerbutton on the left side of the phone

untill a screen appear that let's you choose to power off te phone.

- you will know the phone is truly turned off when you hear or feel a final short vibration

- now, press and hold the volume UP button on the right side off the phone and at the same time press and hold the powerbutton.

- Wait until a logo from Allview appears. at that time you can let go.

The following recovery screen will appear:

use the volumeUP and volumeDOWN keys on the right side of the phone to choose "backup userdata"

once selected press the powerbutton on the lef side of the phone.
