Abstract
In electronic devices according to various embodiments, after a partition in which one or more applications are installed is reset by a factory data reset function, the one or more applications installed in the partition can be installed on the basis of a backup file. When the factory data reset function is not requested by a user who has purchased an electronic device, for example, when an inspector of the electronic device requests the factory data reset function or the factory data reset function is requested on the basis of the SIM card that was first inserted into the electronic device, the restoration of the one or more applications using the backup file can be performed by the electronic device.
