I do not see the issue. You were provided a prompt to restore and YOU CHOSE to ignore it. Someone even provided a suggestion and you ignored that as well. Issue here isn't the phone or the backup process.
yes a prompt was provided with now or later, I chose later, but there's no way I could do it later, it is "AN ISSUE",
if there is a backup associated with my live account why cant the phone show it under backups in settings and allow me to restore whenever I want.
ofcourse there are other missing things such as what you can backup or what you cannot, I'm not even mentioning them here, but this forcing the user to either restore at the very start or not at all is an ISSUE.
are you expected to have highspeed net in your pocket always everywhere? I was at Nokia care, got my phone repaired, they asked me to configure my live id, I did it asked me if i wanted to restore now, I chose later, then I come back home and see no option, it is stupid and not expected from a smartphone OS.
And stop being a blind ****** man.
