I always do backups of my phones, be it Blackberry, Android or iPhone I carry around. But helping a friend of mine to backup his Blackberry and restoring the same data to the new BlackBerry he acquired led me to think that there might be more people looking to do the same. The information is readily available but you got to look for them.
In order to create a full backup a BlackBerry device;

1. Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to the computer running BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
2. Open BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
3. Click Backup and Restore.
4. Select Backup to perform a full backup.
5. Select a location to save the backup file, and then click Save.

To perform a selective backup for one or more databases perform the following steps:

1. Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to the computer running BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
2. Open BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
3. Click Backup and Restore.
4. Click on Advanced.
5. Select the database(s) on the right side selection window for Device databases.
6. Select the Arrow that points to the left side of the screen to transfer the database(s) to include in the backup.
7. Verify the database(s) are on the left side selection window for the Computer databases.
8. Click on File in the menu located at the top left hand side of the Desktop Manager.
9. Name the backup file and select a location to save the file.
10. Click the option to Save once the location for the file is selected.

To restore a full backup of data from a backup file to a BlackBerry it is the reverse of the above:

1. Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to a computer which has BlackBerry® Desktop Manager installed.
2. Open BlackBerry® Desktop Manager.
3. Click Backup and Restore. 
4. Click Restore.
5. Navigate to the backup file that contains the data to be restored to the BlackBerry smartphone.
6. Double-click the backup (.ipd) file. 

To do a selective restore of specific databases in the backup file to a BlackBerry smartphone you can;

1. Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to a computer which has BlackBerry® Desktop Manager installed.
2. Open BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
3. Click Backup and Restore.
4. Click Advanced.
5. On the File menu, click Open.
6. Double-click the backup (.ipd) file.
7. In the Computer Databases section, select the database or databases to restore. Click the right arrow button.

Keep your BlackBerry and  data safe and secure too.
