About backing up device data
Using BlackBerry Link, you can back up and restore most of the data on your BlackBerry device. You can back up your

You should regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you update any software.
Maintaining a current backup file on your computer might allow you to recover device data if your device is lost, stolen, or
corrupted by an unforeseen issue.
