That approach definitely works, but now that BBSAK is here, that makes it even easier. Plus, it contains other useful utilities and features.

Thanks CX! After getting a Reload Software Error the other day (and fixing i) i finally decided to back up my 3rd party apps. Your guide was easy to follow and worked great!

If I have 2 Blackbery Device, Is that possible to restore 3rd party application backup from 1 Device to another device?

Thank you for the advice...

I´have followed all the steps until I have to upload the apps into my Bold 9700 and I get this message: ¨Invalid Configuration: The Device does not have sufficient storage space to accomodate your selections. Please select fewer applications.¨
The thing is that I have 124.8 MB in Application Memory of Free Space. And I´m justrying to upload Shazam that is 490kb

Can Somebody help me?
By the way I´m doning this whole procedure on the Desktop manager V4.6

Then I thought about it and realized that the ones that weren't backed up were the apps that I had in my BB folder on my hard drive. The only ones that backed up were the OTA apps.
So I renamed my BB folder out of the way, redid the backup procedure and holy geez, EVERYTHING backed up into the PIN folder.
(Then renamed my BB folder back to what it was).

So, just letting you know of this method. Maybe you know this already, sorry if I'm double posting as I haven't read through every note in this thread.

What BB folder are you referring to? Have been having the same issue. Thanks.

Why is it failing? Ok, if you're like me you've probably tried different OS's to see which one works for you and you've restored the third party apps following the procedure here. That's great, however as soon as you restore your third party apps Desktop Manager remembers the folder location where you have stored your <pin> folder to do the third party applications restore. How do I know? The application loader.exe creates a log file in your %temp% folder and upon browsing through that log file I found that loader.exe compares the modules from previous restores and does NOT select those modules to be backed up!

How do we get around this? I recommend creating a zip or rar of your third party apps before you click "cancel" at the location %temp%\<pin> and then copy the archive to a safe location that you can access. I also recommend you never have a <pin> folder accessible during the third party backup procedure. Desktop Manager may see that <pin> folder and exclude modules from being backed up.

So, when you're ready to restore your third party apps just un-archive your third party apps and do your normal restore. After restoring be sure to delete the <pin> folder as future backups will use this location and can exclude modules from being backed up.

Good luck and hopefully you won't have to do OTA installations like I had to today to get "all" of your third party applications back!

YMMV

Have been looking at this. It makes sense to me. Have deleted all 3rd party app backup folders off of the computer whether they were created by DM or BBSAK. Have rebooted PC and BB. It still refuses to backup all of the apps. It only backs up the 2 I updated in the last week. Was trying to find the log file referred to in my %temp% folder but am not seeing one with that kind of data in it. Does anyone know the name of this log file? I could just use BBSAK but now I'm being stubborn!

Anyone?
