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.
