Has anyone else also experienced issues with backing up his PlayBook data using BlackBerry Desktop Software? On my laptop after a short period of time I get the following error:

I am using version 6.0.2.44 (released April 25, 2011; Bundle 45).

Also updating the BPB OS via the Desktop Software failed.

Hello,

  yes, I have also a backup error when I try to perform a backup now.

I performed a backup a few days ago: no prblem, the bbb file is available.

Now when I backup, the process sstarts normally, I see the progression bar (saving xxx Mb over xxxMb), and at some point, I have an error popup saying that backup couldn't be done, and ask me to check my connexction with the PlayBook....

I tried to uninstall/reinstall BB Desktop Soft: same pb.

So the backup is broken ?

Edit: the pb is when saving "App" (or full data): Around 99%, there's an error popup about a device connection pb...

Hello,

  no news about this bug ?

I performed a reset of the playbook, install some app. and did a full backup: no problem.

Now few days later, after installing some more app.) I try again to do a full backup: same issue. Around 99%, backup is cancelled with "connection error".

Any news ? Is there an open bug already ? or a workaround ?

EDIT: I just found this error log, Elena, if you're around, is this helping ? Do I have to create a bug for this issue ?

There's apparently a known issue involving backing up app code/data (i.e. supposedly not media) when the total is more than about 1GB. If you have a fresh unit it will likely back up nicely, but once you throw in enough app downloads and their data (possibly including cached stuff in some cases) it will likely stop working.

Hello Peter, thanks for the update.

I've been encounter issues with total data around 670 MB indeed, it may be related to the total size.

Well, pending issues I guess...
