    What is NOT included in the backup?

    If I
    1- install an app on Monday and make a
    2- FULL backup on Tuesday and
    3- uninstall the app on Wednesday and
    4- FULL restore the backup from Tuesday,

    why is the uninstalled app not restored?

    What more is NOT included in the backup?

    A backup using desktop manager's backup feature does not backup any 3rd party apps or the 3rd party apps data.

    The site linked below is down right now but I wrote a post about how to backup 3rd party applications:

    Backup 3rd Party Apps

    Give it a couple hours and try the link. I do this before every OS upgrade and occasionally just for good measure.
