There was an error in backing up my BB PlayBook

Asked By joe houston 0 points N/A Posted on - 02/14/2012

Hey guys! I owned a BlackBerry PlayBook with OS 1.0.7.3312. I connected it with my Windows 7 computer.

When I tried to make a full backup of my PlayBook, I got this error:

BlackBerry Desktop Software

There was an error backing up.

There could have been a problem with the device or connection during the backup. Verify that the device is turned on and connected.

OK

I cannot back-up the Application Data, but I already back-up the Settings of my PlayBook. When trying to backup the two at the same time, the error above keeps showing. Any thoughts about this please let me know.

Thank you.

Hello joe,

Are you using a laptop? If so, are you connected to a power source? Are you trying same USB port all the time? Try using a different USB port or another cord if possible and try the back up again. Also, if you haven't restarted your computer,

please restart it and do try again Let me know how you make out. Thanks!

First, make sure you are using the correct version of BlackBerry Desktop Software for your BlackBerry PlayBook. If your BlackBerry PlayBook runs on BlackBerry 7.1 OS or earlier, download and install BlackBerry Desktop Software 7.1. And make sure you have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 installed on your computer. If you haven’t installed it yet, download Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.

To properly create a full backup of your BlackBerry PlayBook, here is how. Connect your BlackBerry PlayBook to your computer. Start BlackBerry Desktop Software then go to Device and then select “Back up”. On the next screen, click Full. After that, if you wish to change the default name for the backup file, enter the new name in the “File name” field.

If you wish to encrypt the backup file, check “Encrypt backup file” and then type a password. Click “Back up” to begin the backup process for your BlackBerry PlayBook.

Hi

This error is because of your backup target directory selection. By default, your backup directory would be set to V Drive, which is a mapped network drive. You will need to change your backup directory to C Drive and backup your files from blackberry.
