what exactly gets backed-up when you back-up through the dm?
- i have a hosted bes account so i'm not worried about my emails/contacts/calendar etc.
what does concern me are the countless hours i've spent (wasted?) customizing my storm. the ringtones, contact alerts, custom profiles... the list goes on and on. will all this be saved when i do a back-up through the desktop manager?
any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!02-02-09 11:06 PMLike 0 - If you do a full bu, almost everything will restore back.
The only thing I lose are contact groups.
everything else restores just fine.02-02-09 11:08 PMLike 0 - i don't have any contact groups so i'm good there. will it back-up where i've moved all my icons/hidden some of them? mostly though i'm concerned with all the changes i've made to the various settings.
ideally what i'm hoping for isthis: in the event my storm gets lost/stolen/damaged and i need a replacement all i do is plug the new one into dm and through the powers that be the new one behaves exactly like the old one.

It will backup all pictures, ringtones, documents, music, system settings, drm licenses, bookmarks, etc. In other words, 99% of everything is pretty much backed up. Inorder to backup third party apps, you have to use the switch device wizard method.
