This day and age, backing up BB10 devices should be done wirelessly...
- Will BlackBerry ever give us the opportunity to back up our BB10 devices wirelessly, as on the older and CHEAPER BlackBerry Curve 9320?
Heck you can do this with an iPhone 5S....why not ours?

It would also be cool if a backup didn't render the device unusable.
Unfortunately, Link is and has been a horrendous piece of trash since release, so I don't see that happening anytime soon, not even in 1 or 2 years, unless we somehow gain a significant boost in userbase for them to care.Dave1001 and Bonnie Bonzai like this.11-26-14 02:39 PMLike 2 - Yeah, that would be cool.

We're going backwards with that feature. Now you need to go home to your computer and plug the damn thing in. That's a poor excuse for innovation, I think.

- So that's what you meant? I thought you wanted to back up to your PC via the same WiFi network.
They could implement a basic back up on Protect containing settings, contacts, calendar entries, synced accounts (basically everything except your media, apps, and third party app data) as it'd have a reasonable size.
That would be fantastic for me. Both would be.11-28-14 02:45 PMLike 0 - So that's what you meant? I thought you wanted to back up to your PC via the same WiFi network.

Contacts - Outlook.com
Calendar - Outlook.com
Remember - Outlook.com
Usage pro - built in backup option
Password keeper - BBID
Anything else is negligible for me.

Just like you, I have no local contacts, calendars or email accounts. Everything is online and I can change the phone I use 5 times a day, if I want to. All I need to do is to adjust some system settings and to touch some apps here and there. I don't even have installed BlackBerry Link on my computer. Just never had to use it. All my pictures and documents are on SD card. If the phone dies for some reason, I lose nothing. Important things I upload to Dropbox.MobileMadness002 likes this.11-28-14 04:19 PMLike 1
- All that I would prefer having backed up would be my "TEXT MESSAGES" like BlackBerry protect did on old BlackBerry phones. Everything else is synced to the cloud one way or the other.

Care to share how you sync Remember through Outlook?
Cheers.

Selective app data would be nice.

For me just texts. WiFi profiles. Settings would be nice.

Truly laughable at this day and age.
Posted via CB1011-29-14 01:53 PMLike 0 - I never said it was, in terms of capability. If you read the other persons post you'll see they are concerned about the size of the backup. On BlackBerry 10 even just backing up the OS, apps and settings you are talking about easily 1-2GB. Some folks don't have a lot of monthly data allowance. So I suggest a backup only over WiFi option IF there was to ever be backup capability to start with.

The older or cheaper BlackBerry Curve 9320 backs up the device's information over Wi-Fi because that's the way it's designed. It backs up using BlackBerry Protect, which was done on an $80.00 Curve 9320, and cannot be done on a $700.00 Z10.
Truly laughable at this day and age.

This is where BlackBerry could make some money same as Apple. Give X amount of data in a BlackBerry cloud for free, and charge everyone else that would like to have their whole device(s) backed up $40/year and up.
And for the rest of us who don't feel like paying to have all our data in any cloud service, we get to continue to plug in to a machine and back up with a cable, just like iOS.
Posted via CB1011-29-14 10:36 PMLike 0 - I never paid anything to backup my iPhone 5S over Wi-Fi. It holds the last four or five backups to the cloud, as well as through iTunes. Never ever cost me anything. Ever.
It is just plain ridiculous that you can backup a Curve 9320, as much as you want, through BlackBerry Protect, but you can't do the same on a BB10 device that cost $700.00.
We are not advancing here, but falling behind.
The same thing goes for BlackBerry Maps on BB10. Crap. I find there were more features in Blackberry Maps on OS7.1.....namely the feature "North Up " or "Track Up ". You have to turn the phone to constantly orient the damn thing as you turn on any road, on a BB10 device.
Not so on a device with 7.1......and they say the BB10 devices are much better....well, they missed the boat on those two things.

As for not paying for iCloud, sure - that's easily possible. My wife's iPhone is also backed up in iCloud for free, because she's using less than the allotted 5GB. She'd need to get a new plan for the next tier.11-30-14 12:17 AMLike 0
