Also, if you lose your phone or if your phone is destroyed, your personal information is not lost and will appear, as before, on a replacement phone.

This mirroring of information happens through over-the-air data synchronization, or data “syncing”. Data syncing occurs in the background and shouldn’t ever get in your way.
