Part IV: Working with BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Restoring Your Data from
Backup Information
Although you can exclude e-mail messages and information such as
Contacts, to-do's, and memos, we recommend that you back up every-
thing each time.
6. Click OK.
Now you can get on with your life without worrying when to back up
your Storm.
To run a backup, you must connect your BlackBerry Storm to your PC. Make
sure that you plug your Storm into your PC once in a while so autobackup has
a chance to back up your information.
We hope that you never have to read this section more than once. A full
restore brings back all your information from a backup. It probably means
you've lost information that you had hoped to find from the backup you
created on your PC.
The steps to fully restore your backup information are simple:
1. Connect your Storm to your PC using the USB cable.
2. From BlackBerry Desktop Manager, double-click the Backup and
Restore icon.
The Backup and Restore screen appears.
3. Click the Restore button.
An Open File dialog box asks where the backup file is on your PC.
4. Choose a backup file and click Open.
A warning window appears when you're about to do a full restore
(see Figure 17-5), alerting you that you're about to overwrite existing
information.
5. Click Yes to go ahead with the full restore.
A progress bar appears.
It might take a while for the full restore to finish. Don't unplug your
BlackBerry Storm from your PC during this time!
6. When the progress bar disappears, unplug the device from the PC.
