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 settings, phone history, fonts, saved searches, messages, organizer data, browser
bookmarks, and media files.
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.
Note: If your device is activated on BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, contact your administrator to verify
if you are able to back up and restore your device data.
