    Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but after a wipe, when I restore from the full backup, everything is there except two things:

    1) The Bookmarks I've saved to the home page (and subsequently put into various folders). They're all missing.
    2) (the most critical) there are no accounts - nada. Setting them up is not too big of a deal, but I have a dozen or so. Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or if this is expected behaviour?

    Playbook 64G WiFi, OS 2.1.0.1917
    Computer: iMac 2011, OSX Mavericks
    BBDM: 2.4.0

    Thanks for your help.

    Email accounts are part of settings, did you restore that?
    At the very least, I've had to reenter my passwords after an OS load.

    @Scrid,

    Yes I had backed (excluding media which I manage separately) up the Playbook on two different computers before the wipe. Initially I did a full restore (excluding media) with no results, I then restored the settings from the same computer - no accounts, then restored from the other computer - no accounts.

    Seems strange to me that they are not restored, while bookmarks (except those on the home page) and even the pages I was browsing before the wipe are restored in the browser!

    Thanks for your quick response.

    Accounts have never been backed up on PlayBook backups.

    Oops, thought we were in the BB10 forum. I believe you are correct.
