full backup of device info

My bb recently got corrupted and I had to reload the OS, then do a restore. I had a recent backup file but it did not restore my task and 3rd party applications. I know there is a thread on backing up 3 party applications but I do not do that as often as a normal backup. Is there a way to do a full backup all at once and catch the task and 3rd party apps all at the same time? Also is there a way now to get my task list from the previous backup? Thanks.

I don't know a shortcut to combining 3rd party apps backup with a device backup. However, you should be able to use the Advanced Backup / Restore function in Desktop manager to selectively restore only your tasks from an earlier backup.

That worked for getting my task back, thank you very much.
