Backup and Restore
One of the great features now available to Mac users is the
ability to Backup and Restore either your entire BlackBerry
contents or just selected information on your Mac. Backup
and Restore begins with the two icons at the top of the main
screen in Desktop Manager.
Using Backup
1. Click on the Backup icon and you will be taken to the screen shown in
Figure 4-20, where you specify exactly what information you wish to be
backed up on your Mac.

items you wish to back up.
3. Let's say that you are only really concerned with backing up your
Contacts, Calendar, and Notes. Just check off each of those boxes
and your backup will complete much faster.
4. You can specify the name of your backup for easy retrieval in the future.
5. Once you have made all your backup selections, click the Back Up
button and the progress of the backup will be displayed in a dialog box.
