Tips: Updating your software
Updated BlackBerry® Device Software and BlackBerry® Desktop Software are released periodically, and you might be able to
update the software from either your computer or your smartphone. Research In Motion recommends that you regularly
create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you update any software. Maintaining an up-to-date backup
file on your computer might allow you to recover device data if your device is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.
