I recently got a "new" or refurbished BB 8830 because my other one was having issues. I had my stuff backed up or so i thought and when i restored the backup file onto my blackberry none of my applications were there. It was easy enough for me to just re-download them since they were only a few and they were all free, but i was wondering if there is a way to back them up so i wouldnt need to re-dowload them if i ever need to get another new BB???:confused:
You need to use the "Switch Device" feature for that.
If you use the desktop software to make a backup file of your berry, then it SHOULD copy all your apps with it...key word being should lol.

^^^ Yeah, that would be good if RIM would have made the backup work like that. Unfortunatly you have to use the Switch Device Wizard to hack it like Jimmers said.
To back up your third party applications like jimmers and JRSCCivic98 mentioned. Follow these instructions.
