When performing a device backup through Desktop Manager V.6, I get the following error:   "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"

Can anyone help please?

I suggest trying the following:

Different USB cord

Different USB port

Reboot your computer

Reboot your device

Uninstall/reinstall BlackBerry Desktop Software

Hope this helps.

I tried all of what you mentioned and still same problem, I keep getting the same error over and over again.

Is your device still telling you its not connected? Does Desktop Software detect your device?

Cheers,

Yes, I’m still getting the same error. When I connect me device the Desktop Software recognize it and I can sync it and everything except backup.

Do you have a micro SD card in your device? If so, remove it then try the backup.

If this works, there could be an issue with the data on your micro SD card and you should save the data on it and then format your card.

Hope this helps.

I removed the SD card than made a backup I'm still getting the same error. I even made a Security Wipe but unfortunately that did not solve my problem also.

At this point I would suggest trying a selective back up. To do this see the link below:

Also here is a list of the BlackBerry Device Databases for reference:

Backup the data that you think you will need then when you are done you can try a clean application load of the device software. Then restore your back up and this should correct the issue for you. Below is a link for a clean reload of the device software.

Thanks man but nothing worked, I had to return back to the older version of Desktop Manager.

Using the older version do you have any difficulties?
