Backup and recovery
Managing the wireless backup and recovery of organizer data
The wireless backup feature backs up user account settings and data from BlackBerry® devices to the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server automatically. You can use the wireless backup feature to synchronize organizer data to BlackBerry devices without affecting the performance of your organization's messaging server. You can also use the wireless backup feature to restore data from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to the BlackBerry device. By default, wireless backup is turned on when you activate BlackBerry devices.
