Sideloaded apps when backing up on my PlayBook

I was thinking of backing up my playbook and resetting it so I can finally get rid of these stubborn files that I unzipped that I now can't delete. If I back up everything, will that include any sideloaded apps and their data or will I lose all that?

Thanks

sideloaded apps will not be saved and neither will any game progress and such with them. You have to sideload them again and start over as far as I know

Thanks

Hmm now to decide how bothered I am about keeping them...

I usually wipe my pb's every 6 months, I find they run quicker and smoother when I do

Don't backup your media with BB desktop software. Instead, MANUALLY copy your media to your PC. It's quicker and safer this way.

Cheers I don't think I'd do my media anyway. It's just my games I'd like to save
