About backing up and restoring smartphone data
If you have installed the BlackBerry® Desktop Software on your computer, you can back up and restore most of your BlackBerry
smartphone data, including messages, organiser data, fonts, saved searches and browser bookmarks using the BlackBerry
Desktop Software. For more information, see the Help in the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
If you haven't saved anything on your media card, you can back up and restore most of your smartphone data using your
media card.
If your email account uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, you might be able to restore synchronised organiser data to your
smartphone over the wireless network. To restore synchronised organiser data over the wireless network, you must have an
activation password. For more information, contact your administrator.
Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a back-up file on your computer, especially before you
update any software. Maintaining a current back-up file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if your
smartphone is lost, stolen or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.
About synchronisation conflicts
A synchronisation conflict occurs when you change the same email or organiser data item on your BlackBerry® smartphone and
in the email application on your computer.
If you reconcile your email using wireless email reconciliation, on your smartphone, you can set whether the email on your
smartphone or the email on your computer takes precedence when an email reconciliation conflict occurs.
If you synchronise your organiser data using wireless data synchronisation, the organiser data on your computer takes
precedence over the organiser data on your smartphone when a data synchronisation conflict occurs.
Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a back-up file on your computer, especially before you
update any software. Maintaining a current back-up file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if your
smartphone is lost, stolen or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.
